These tips are awesome! While most people would just hire a seo consultant and leave all the work to him, it often results in a clunky site as the consultant works on promoting the site and not optimizing it. That causes the users to experience more lag when the number of visitors increase and nothing is done about the site. Cheers to an optimized website for everyone!

First of all… very good tips! you wrote this a while back but it all still very useful. I too love W3 Total Cache. I used to use WP super cache but i found it buggy. I definitely would say that site performance is quite a strong factor now in google’s algorithm as i’ve been tweaking the hell out of my sites for more speed and have seen a pleasant rise in rankings.

Thanks for the tips & tricks.
Don’t forget that two other major speed factors of a website (not just wordpress) are the geographical location of the server, and the actual speed of the server.

wp cache is good plug in

Also the css and js can be compressed

I tend to make sure images are well optimised but still look good, as you still need to showcase your products / services. Ive never heard of YSLOW, I use Googles Page Speed tool, but I will give it a try as Im using FF more now.
