7 WordPress SEO Plugins to speed up your site

I have been working for some time now on some projects requiring WordPress SEO.

These projects are self-hosted blogs, so I came up with a list of SEO plugins every blog should have.

This particular post is about optimizing the loading time of your WordPress site or blog.

7 WordPress SEO Plugins that will optimize your page loading speed:

1. External Files Optimization:

• WP Minify  /
  
• External Files Optimizer

2.  Image Size Optimization:

• WP Smush.it

3. Database Optimization:

• WP Optimize/
• Optimize DB

4. Cache:

• W 3 Total Cache/
• WP Super Cache

This article is for everyone who has a self-hosted WordPress blog or site and s/he is interested in speeding up the reader’s access to the site.

P.S. I know that this blog is hosted on WordPress but I have some additional self-hosted WordPress sites that I work on like anamatei.ro & handmade-knitwear.com.

Funny app for iPhone & Android

Tom is a very sociable cat …you can find about 1,190 videos with him on YouTube and more on its FaceBook page>>

WordPress “Like” Button within each post & 55 bugs fixed

WordPress 3.0.1. brings a new social media feature within each wp post: the “Like” button.

What this little button does is adding the Gravatar profiles of people who liked your post.

Just a while ago, WordPress 3.0 brought us the Like feature on the admin bar but this new improvement is what I hoped for… or not exactly…

My question now is: Why don’t we have a FaceBook Like Button?

This new version of wp platform also fixes 55 bugs from the WP 3.0 release 🙂
