Working on performance

Speed Painting and Studio Update — Image by Blade21292 via Flickr

I’ve been working on performance on my website using the suggestions from Page Speed Online. Since yesterday I have gone from 80 out of 100 to 87. I added WP Minify which compresses javascript/CSS. I also used the compress option in WP Super Cache. I am going to be working on that today as well. Google seems to make a big deal about performance in their search ranking.

After further tweaking with W3 Total Cache my site scores 95/100 on google speed page online test. Thats the highest ever for me. I am so pleased with that plugin.

This was helpful to solve a problem that a friend had. It is amazing how hidden they make this feature. Don’t they think that people need to share information from their forms? Thanks CCSD!

How much candy does a person need?

I was thinking that services like StumbleUpon is almost like candy for your mind. It has quick, easily digestible pieces of information, but nothing that is really satisfying. I find myself drawn to a book or something more in-depth after stumbling for awhile. Even Wiki pages seem too brief to me. Using the same analogy I suppose Wiki pages are the fast food of information.

It has been awhile since I’ve read a well-written, fact-based book. Do you have anything that you have enjoyed that you might suggest?
