Working on performance

Speed Painting and Studio Update

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.

Installing Flash on mbp (shipped with…: Apple Support Communities. I haven’t ever had a problem with Flash or Java being unsafe but I keep things constantly updated. I have had many mac virus that have used JavaScript to launch into my computer. Turning off JavaScript is a very helpful thing if you want to be safe. a brody suggests the following:

Flash is as safe as Adobe makes it.  There are occasional security updates regarding it.  Some animated websites require it, while others do not.  Play around with websites and see if any really needs it that you really need access to.  If you find some do, you should also recommend they consider switching their Flash to HTML5, which eats up less processor cycles, and because it is maintained by the open source community is more likely to be secure.  Don’t click on animated advertisements and banners, unless you are absolutely certain they are legit.    Don’t believe any popup saying you should install asking you to install anti-virus software.  Just close those windows with the red button in the upper left corner and proceed going through websites.  If they make a window you can’t close, bookmark any sites you are on, and quit the web browser.
