When starting a Photography WordPress site many of your posts will include images of weddings you have shot and may also include a dynamic photo scroller to make the blog more interesting to your followers.
You main goal is the obvious to build a great blog which is popular and is informative to your viewers. Once you have established yourself as credible in your niche you can become extremely popular. This sounds exciting but there is will be a problem when this arises. Your Web Server will begin to slow causing your blog page to load like a fully laden freight train.
Increase in traffic spikes can sound great, but having your blog post load in longer periods will cause your viewers to flick channels before your page loads.
There is a great solution to avoid this which is simple and takes a few minutes of your time to optimise your blog site. Thank god for the tech savvy gurus online who have dedicated their cause to making technology more efficient and in this case creating super dynamic WordPress Plugins to avoid slow load up times.
After experimenting and some research on Google we have narrowed down the list of plugins that will make your blog page speed up like the bullet train in Japan.
Plugins to Make Your Photography WordPress Blog Super Fast
- WP Super Cache by Donncha O Caoimh- A very fast caching plugin for WordPress. This plugin is amazing for adverse increases of traffic spikes. In a normal WordPress install, every time a visitor comes to your site WordPress builds the webpage for them from scratch by pulling information out of the database and processing a variety of things in the software. The bottom line is, this is time consuming – and usually after you’ve published a blog post, it doesn’t change very much except when people comment. When a page is loaded, WP Super Cache caches a static (one time generated) copy of that webpage, and then every time a new visitor comes, it preferentially gives them the cached version of the page. This is plugin is much faster and has prepared my blog post before it goes viral.
- GZIP Output by Austin Matzko- This plugin automatically compresses CSS, Javascript and HTML output, allowing it to travel faster from your blog to a visitor’s browser. According to Best Practices On Yahoo! Developer Network: “Gzipping generally reduces the response size by about 70%. Approximately 90% of today’s Internet traffic travels through browsers that claim to support gzip.” This is a simple change that will not affect what your readers see at all – except that it will load in their browser faster.
- WP Minify by Thaya Kareeson- This plugin uses the Minify engine to combine and compress JS and CSS files to improve page load time. Like the previous plugin, it also automatically shrinks the size of your files without you having to do anything.
- Free CDN by Phoenixheart- If you have static files (images, javascript, css) taking a long time to load and slowing your site down, you may benefit by installing Free CDN – especially if you have large images. Briefly, a CDN is a content delivery network. Static files are cached on the CDN and pulled from their servers instead of your own – which means that your server has to do less work, and potentially can serve more people at once, faster.
