How to Speed Up your wordpress Blog Loading Time

If you're new here, you may want to browse my articles and if you like them please subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!

As you may have noticed our blogs start to get slower and slower, more so when we encounter a traffic rush. Here is a simple tip to speed up your WordPress Blog. This can be done by adding Cache all the database inquiries on the server.

How to Improve the Speed?

Just add the following to your wp-config.php file:

// Enable WP Object Cache:
define(ENABLE_CACHE, true);

I added this to my config-File today and can see the difference instantly, this can be a great tool to counter the people who are impatient to see your website loading up.

How does it work?

The WordPress Cache will not speed up the process of posting an article. It will just save your pages in a static version, so it can be displayed to a visitor faster than normal, as a WordPress page does require database access before displaying that page. Thus, it just saves the time, your server will need to deliver a page to the users browser.

Let me know if adding this two lines made a difference to your blog speed.
