Optimization Tips: Make Your Wordpress loads faster!

Do you know that you can make more people appreciate your blog by optimizing it to load faster?
Here’s a quick way that can make your blog loads faster by instructing Wordpress to use gzip compression to reduce your blog output size.

  1. Go to your Wordpress Administration Panel
  2. Select Options, then Reading
  3. Check the box that reads “WordPress should compress articles (gzip) if browsers ask for them”

This will ensure that browsers supporting gzip-encoding (Mozilla, Internet Explorer) will get the compressed version of your webpage faster.

This trick is also beneficial in SEO aspect too, as some advance webcrawler supports gzip-encoding to reduce bandwidth utilisation and at the same moment saving precious crawling time.
