WordPress Server Load? - Mone - 10-06-2010

Is it me or sites with WordPress take a while to load are there any plugins that can make loading times much faster!? i use one of the seo plugins. But eh I think it slowed it down some.

A cache plugin should greatly reduce the server load, and make the loading (slightly?) faster,
http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-super-cache/
http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/w3-total-cache/
http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/cos-html-cache/
http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/hyper-cache/
http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/db-cache-reloaded/
JavaScript/CSS minimizations and putting your theme files on a CDN will reduce the transfer time, but not the server load much.

Thanks that seem to fix it

WP Super Cache: great for the user, bad for the server.
If your Wordpress screws up, disable this first.

Hm.. I don't have a caching plugin installed, but my WordPress works fine. Heavy plugins (1MB in size or above generally have more effect on the server when executed), should be disabled if you really don't need them.

How?

I'm using it and i don't wanna make the server explode lol

@ThePro: nearly every wordpress issue that has been reported to me was fixed by disabling that plugin. If your blog works fine, don’t sweat it :)

Wp-Super Cach does cause some problems but some are simple ones that emptying the catch can fix, I keep the settings defult so they don't overload the server. If ur site is posted on a big tech blog this will help the server handle the views, so it can help at times and cause peoblems at other times.

If you are talking about loading time on client side: The theme does not use too much external resources (a total of 135KB only), so the loading time shouldn't be too bad. Your image cache policy does not seem superb, though. (Cache-Control: max-age=0, which forces every image file to be re-validated every time the page loads.)
If you are talking about the server load: A theme almost never stresses the server.
