Ask HN: Can I Optimise the load time of your Wordpress Site for Free?
I am in the process of launching a new service where I help Wordpress users speed up the load times of their site...
I want to get some work to add to my portfolio so am looking for people that will let me optimise their sites for free, well, in exchange for a review/testimonial..
Anyone interested in this?
- adzeds 10y agoThanks for all the interest everyone.. Got a nice selection of emails and am going through them to optimise them... Will post the results up in here!
- drrob 10y agoI'll bite, how do you want to get in touch to discuss?
- adzeds 10y agoThanks for the interest... If you drop me an email to: david@blogoptimisation.com Let me know your Wordpress Site URL that you would like me to take a look at. I will then perform an audit for you and identify how much I can do to help you and I can then provide you with a list of changes to make to speed up the site.... Or I can go in and do the optimisations for you if easier..
- tenismyanswer 10y agoInstall wp-cache?
- adzeds 10y agoThat will get you some gains, but there is a lot more that can be done to get your site to load in less than 0.5 secs
- tenismyanswer 10y agoCool. Try warrior forum.com for your testimonials. Once you have the testimonials you could sell it as a wso (their marketplace). A big market there for this as Wordpress is popular. Although those people expect a big hyped up sales page to convince them to buy!
- adzeds 10y agoThanks for the tip... I will take a look at that!
- tmaly 10y agoI am curious if you are doing anything to optimize featured image using css media queries? This is something that I would want. I have a few a wordpress sites, and I use wp super cache which helps with speed, but I still think its a waist of bandwidth to have to download the same featured image size on mobile as on desktop.
- adzeds 10y agoThis is something that I look to optimise... Mobile site speed is growing in importance and this is something that I get asked to look at a lot.. If you want to drop me and email with your details I can take a look and make some recommendations for you?
- tmaly 10y agoI have two sites I wrote in Go that have hand coded templates. I am thinking about moving more in this direction. I have gotten a bit frustrated with WordPress lately as I cannot get the level of control I would prefer to have.
