Comments on: Page Speed and Your WordPress Theme http://fschulte-ladbeck.com/page-speed-wordpress-theme/ Looking at how to create small business websites Fri, 03 Jun 2011 16:07:17 -0500 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Frank Schulte-Ladbeck http://fschulte-ladbeck.com/page-speed-wordpress-theme/#comment-2393 Frank Schulte-Ladbeck Thu, 11 Feb 2010 21:06:52 +0000 http://fschulte-ladbeck.com/?p=190#comment-2393 First: yes I am. After having tested this idea on several themes, and checking what the load times would be for a dial up modem, I found this method to work. That is why I decide to post this idea to help small business owners who are not coders. However, you are correct on one point that I should have mentioned in this post, but was planning to add in another post: you have to do more than what I just mentioned. Using a plugin like Super Cache is good, but it will not resolve all page speed issues by itself. I was going to suggest that people go to this site: http://www.prelovac.com/vladimir/wordpress-optimization-guide Many of the suggestions help optimize page speed in Wordpress. First: yes I am.

Each bloginfo is definitely not an extta database query, besides, WordPress automatically fetches the most common options during init, each time it's processing a query. So you're not doing any good removing the bloginfo calls. Rather than crack your head open editing theme files and dealing with code, why don't you just use a caching plugin that will reduce page load times? W3 Total Cache is a good one. ~ @kovshenin Are you serious?
