Ebook Sample Content Preview:
You probably remember that we touched on two other areas earlier, one was called Minify and the other was CDN.
Minify
Minify basically helps to reduce load time by decreasing the size and number of CSS and JavaScript files. It also automatically removes unnecessary data from CSS, JavaScript, feed, page and post html.
Did you get all of that!
Now that’s why I set it to automatic most of the time but if you really want to go for it or you’re maybe not seeing enough improvement then you can try setting it to manual but you then need to enter quite a lot of information manually.
It’s all explained in the plugin documentation but you basically have to go through your website source code and add the information and links to your theme and other specific files, basically CSS and JavaScript files and groups.
There are also quite a few settings to play with. I’d say just try it on automatic first and if you don’t get any issues and see some good results then that is probably all you need to do.
CDN – Content Delivery Networks
The name pretty much says it all here. CDN’s are a way to deliver your content remotely from your website.
You can “host” your content, images, graphics, basically your website as static pages on networks such as Amazon S3 or Cloudflare. You’ll probably also come across terms such as “the cloud” or “cloud hosting” but it’s basically the same thing.
Amazon S3 is easy to use and very reasonable pricing depending on how much content you host there and you can store just about any files on their massive servers.
You can manage your files easily using the Amazon S3 organiser for Firefox which works similar to well known ftp clients such as Filezilla which you’re probably familiar with.
There are a few wordpress plugins to help with CDN integration including the feature in the W3 total cache plugin we saw earlier, but if you really need to use a CDN then you might want to check out the free version of Cloudflare.
Cloudflare optimizes and speeds the delivery of your content to your users and there are also some pretty good security protection features as well.
