How To Turn Off or Limit WordPress Plugins and Graphics

Sunday 24 March 2013 - 0 Comments



Here Is The Some Tips For Only Wordpress Don't Use Any Other Plugin.


When the traffic increases on your WordPress blog, all aspects of your blog's code and design elements also increase.

For example, let's say the front page of your blog calls upon 8 graphics to create the "look" of your blog's design. Add to this number the various WordPress template files it takes to build your page. You've got the header, sidebar, footer, and post content area at a minimum. That's four more "calls" to files on your site. For 100 visitors, those files get loaded 1200 times. For 1000 visitors, those files are accessed and loaded 12000 times. This increases your bandwidth and server activity.

WordPress Plugins are also files that are "called" by your WordPress Theme. In turn, these make queries to your database to generate the information on your blog. The more WordPress Plugins, the more queries to your database. Combine all these access files and database queries with an exponential increase in visitors, and you have a lot of demand on your site.

You can lower the number of files accessed and the queries to your database during heavy traffic times by:

limiting the number of graphics on your blog by editing the stylesheet and template files of your WordPress Theme.

turning off a few WordPress Plugins temporarily. Go through your list of WordPress Plugins to see if there are any listed that you could live without for a day or two.

Keep the access to files and your database to a minimum as much as possible. After the heavy traffic volume has died down a bit, then you can reactivate and restore these features.

Some WordPress Basics

Thursday 21 March 2013 - 0 Comments




After you’ve gained access into your blog and see the default theme, type in the following: /wp-login to get to the main URL. From there, log into it using the information you just created in step 2. You also have the option to login using the login link on the homepage, which you’ll find on the right sidebar.

What you’ll see immediately are quick-links to posts, pages, comments, tags and change WordPress theme. Get familiar with the dashboard. On the left hand side of the screen, you’ll see the sub-menus. They have a purpose but place your attention on the more important ones for now. These include:



  • A – Appearance – This part will allow you to customize the look of the blog including the theme, sidebar widgets and menus. There are all kinds of things you can do to customize the blog.



  • B – Links – Here, you’ll be able to produce a number of links and links categories to use in the creation of your customized sidebar widgets.



  • C – Media – This menu allows you to manage pictures and videos you’ll include on the website.



  • D – Pages – Use this section to include new pages to the blog. Brose the various options like adjusting the template, modifying the page order, disabling/enabling comments, etc.



  • E – Plugins – When used correctly, plugins can be quite useful. There are a ton of third-party plugins that will increase your blog’s visibility, its performance, style, look, etc.



  • F – Posts – Since you’re running a blog, you’ll be posting often. Generate posts inside WordPress and choose what page to display them on, the date you want them published, publisher’s name and determine if you want anyone commenting.



  • G – Settings – With the settings section, you’ll set up the blog’s name, description, front page display, date format, etc. Here, you can mess with the third party plugins.



  • H – Users – This section is about the changing of or addition of existing user settings such as emails, passwords, profiles, etc.


Now, if you’ve done everything in the above 5 steps, your blog should be up and running! And, if it is, you just need to add in some wonderful content and look at the different themes for your blog. If you’re still having issues, consider going through the steps once more and determine where it is you might have flubbed. And, don’t worry, it happens! Before you know it, you’ll have a great blog with lots of visitors. Good luck!

6 Tips to Speed Up and Optimize to Your WordPress Plugins

Thursday 20 December 2012 - 0 Comments


1. Use a Cache Plugin

Serving cached versions of your pages is one of the most efficient ways to speed up your site and to reduce the CPU and memory consumption on your server. Also, if you are not using the W3TC plugin yet I highly recommend you switch to it, as it works much more efficiently than the other plugins available.

2. Remove All Unnecessary Plugins

Unless your site absolutely relies on a plugin to work I would recommend removing it. Sure, you might need to lose a functionality or two, but in the long run this will keep your site running fast and securely. Keep in mind that it’s possible to hard code what some plugins do, as well. For example, instead of using a plugin to generate a list of “Popular Posts” on your sidebar you could create the list yourself with raw HTML. Instead of using a contact form plugin you could simply write a paragraph on your “Contact” page including your email address there. So on and so forth.

3. Pay Special Attention to Post-Level Plugins


On most WordPress sites and blogs, the bulk of the traffic goes to the posts. The homepage, the category and archive pages receive around 20% of the overall traffic, if that, while the posts receive 80%.
This means that plugins that act at post-level will consume most of your resources. Examples include plugins to change SEO aspects of your posts (e.g., All in One SEO Pack), plugins to display related posts and so on. As a result you should put an extra effort to either remove or optimize those plugins (more on that below).

4. Consider Substituting All In One SEO Pack

The All in One SEO Pack plugin is certainly one of the best SEO plugins around, but it’s also pretty intensive on the resources of your server. For small sites this won’t be a problem, but once your traffic starts growing you might start to feel it.

A good alternative is called Greg’s High Performance SEO. According to the author All in One SEO Pack outputs 2000 lines of code per page load/view, while Greg’s plugin output only 700 lines.
In my opinion the main benefit of those SEO plugins is the ability to customize the title tag. If that is the most important factor for you as well you can be even more extreme and use no plugin at all. Instead use the piece of code below to create optimized title tags for your posts:



<title><?php if (is_home () ) { bloginfo(‘name’); }
elseif ( is_category() ) { single_cat_title(); echo ' - ' ; bloginfo(‘name’); }
elseif (is_single() ) { single_post_title();}
elseif (is_page() ) { single_post_title();}
else { wp_title(‘’,true); } ?></title>



5. Consider Substituting YARPP

Along with All In One SEO Pack there’s another plugin that is very popular and yet very resource intensive: YARPP (Yet Another Relate Posts Plugin).

One alternative you can consider is the Efficient Related Posts plugin. The main difference is that the database of related posts is updated only when a post is created/updated, while other plugins tend to build the list on the fly, whenever a post is loaded.

6. Optimize Your Database Tables

As with any dynamic content management system, great part of the work your WordPress site does is related to getting, storing, removing and updating information on its database. That’s why optimizing your database tables can affect your site’s performance.
