I host my sites on bluehost and have client with hosting on hostmonster, and on both this hostings i experienced very slow page loading. About 20 sec. WordPress simple theme, no images. The main cause as i see in firebug is a multiple css files.  Server response to first request for css immediately, but for second and/or third and further waiting time grow up to 10 sec per request.

Explicitly required to join multiple css files (main theme css and those that come from plugins) to one.

Possible solutions:

  1. manually remove from all plugins code that register plugin’s css file and manually copy-paste all css content to main style.css file.
  2. use some plugin, that make all above work.

 

First solution i declined instantly. I am lazy. So, i went to google.com and query  “join multiple css wordpress plugin”.

First found was Speedy plugin that seems unsupported from 2008. Google’s algorithm though efficient some times returns such things.

But second was http://omninoggin.com/wordpress-plugins/wp-minify-wordpress-plugin/ by MadeinThayaLand. I try it and i am very satisfied.  Now my client’s site loading time go down to 6 sec. Only!.

 

And more, this programmer-girl looked like girl and really programmer: she has many useful plugins already downloaded almost 1,000,000 times.

And even more she has name like my first dream country (I am currently live in Thailand) and lives in Costa-Rica my second dream country.

That’s all.
