With some hosts you may also need to use zlib for compression, rather than gzip.

On some hosts, Gzip is juste disabled
To increase the speed, we can also use cache, like the WP-Cache plugin.

Hi Keith. Hey thanks for the tool and the mention about the avatar.

Yeah I went with sepia tone, why not, right?

That picture is actually a picture of me holding my 2nd born on his first day in this world. Somehow I didn’t think the picture of a newborn though was what I should put in my avatar. But I think about it every time I see it.

Also, thanks for the mention on your blog. I appreciate that.

Shades of sepia?

Hi John
Came across an article at “WordPress How To Spotter” that gives details of a tool that checks if your host supports gzip.

Link to full article is

The tool is the first one that is discussed.

Hope people find it useful

Hi John
Started to see posts about Google adding “load time ” as one of the metrics in its algorithm.

Makes this post even more important!

Hi Keith, thanks. Try it out – it works really well. I emailed it to a friend and they tried it out and said they had to change their shorts afterwards LOL.

Good point about making sure your web hosts uses PHP. If it doesn’t, we certainly offer it. And your comment got me thinking; maybe I’ll do up some .htaccess tutorial videos. I see codes all over online, but no one really shows them in videos, which I’m sure newbies would like since they probably don’t really even know what a .htaccess file is.

Definitely keep my blogs up to date. Always got to be on top of security, ya know.

Sorry, forgot to add…

Did I notice WordPress 2.8.4 in the video?

Good to see that you are keeping up to date.
