I've done lots of work on site speed. The best combination of free ways I have found to speed up a site are using the right settings in WP Super Cache, adding the plugin Autoptomize, and adding in some browser caching and other speed rules in .htacess.

@Pauline

Well done.

What I have found is that if you can do the following, you are good.

- Image Compression

- minify css/js/html

- Enable Caching

- Add Expires to your content which tells the servers and browser how long the cache can live (this is a challenge for those who manage their CSS as you now cannot use the same file name to update content.)

Along with Page Speed insight which G uses to assess user experience, I have used this web site to look at all the calls

http://tools.pingdom.com/

It really shows you the calls you make with all the delays.

After everything, my conclusion is that I need to switch hosting provider if I want speed or move to better servers. Obviously, you get what you pay for ...

I did image compressing and the leverage browser caching, the other recommendations seemed to have minimal impact. It does load faster now.

I finally figured out how to implement the expires feature :) It requires changed to you .htaccess file as it is an apache feature. It made a good difference with Google PageSpeed along with proper image compression.

Hi, I used a lot of the page speed recommendations from http://gtmetrix.com. It took me a while to optimize my website, but now my homepage loads in less than 1 second. (I think Google said websites should load in under 2 seconds.) After a lot of research into CDNs, I'm using CloudFlare. It's free and I'd recommend it to everyone.

I was looking at my web master tool errors and ended up on Page Speed:

https://developers.google.com/speed/pagespeed

There are many recommendations to make your site faster and I am curious if you are using them? For one, not all image compression is equal and I ran all my images through the recommended compression and saved loads of KB in data transfer.

I was curious what many have used to set expiry dates as it appears to be recommended and helpful for caching.

Cheers!
