Don’t you love the feeling you get right after setting up a fresh WordPress installation? The way it loads within the blink of an eye, unburdened by any content, plugins, or sidebar widgets? Pure bliss. So, why doesn’t it stay that way and why the need to learn to speed up WordPress? Unfortunately, over time most WordPress sites will grow slower and slower as they accumulate bloat.

WordPress website running slow? A chief complaint I come across from WordPress users is, “My website is so slow!” And they are right. Their sites take 5-10 seconds to load. That’s way too long. Back in 2010, Google said that websites should load in two seconds or less, and a 2009 survey found that “47 percent of consumers expect a web page to load in two seconds or less.” On top of that, “40 percent of consumers will wait no more than three seconds for a web page to render before abandoning the site.” See more info about this study […]

Having a fast and impressive website or a blog is the most important attribute of a good web presence.

We’re all interested in speed, especially when it comes to the applications that we use and love every single day. If we can eek out a little more performance we’ll either demand it from those that have created it or here it from our passionate users who can’t stand waiting. This is a good thing, generally speaking, as there are few things more irritating than waiting for something to load, whatever it is.

P.J. Onori had to expect that his free WordPress Theme on Smashing Magazine was going to force a lot of pageviews, right? Of course! SmashingMag is a huge site with tons of followers and readers and has been known to tank much smaller sites when referenced. P.J. was ready. In fact, he had created his theme called Frank specifically for speed and performance under fire and he wisely chose the “demo” site as his own personal blog as a living example of the theme.
