Going insane with your blog hosted on wordpress that is sucking all the juice from your server & still it not giving enough performance as you have might thought it would be, here are some tricks that will help you in speeding up your blog.

1. First & foremost, remove all the unneeded plug ins & themes from your blog, as these get loaded every time with your blog.

2. Reduce the size of the images used on the blog to a minimum. There are many tools you can use, one such tool is Advanced JPEG Compressor that helps you to achieve a size reduction of more than 50 % with a negligible loss in image quality.

3.There is a small little plug in for wordpress called CSS Compress, that can be used to compress the CSS. What it does is that it removes extra comments, new lines, tabs, and gzip compresses (GZIP) the CSS , this helps in faster loading. You can also try an online CSS Compressor & reduce the size of CSS within no time.

4.You can also speed up your blog by the intelligent use of the  ” <!–more–> ” tag. There is no need to show you full posts on the homepage, until & unless needed. Instead show summaries of posts on the homepage, if a user find a post interesting he will surely follow the Read More Link.

5. This is a plug in recommended to all wordpress users, it is the well known WP-Cache plug in, what it does is it creates & caches a static HTML page of most visited posts & pages on a blog, this helps in speeding up the loading as these pages will not be compiled every time from the database, instead that cached page is shown.
