But before we move into discussion of our options – we need to understand what exactly is measured and how it is ranked in overall picture, basically – should you even worry about it?

Speed Matters!

I think it goes without a saying that people browsing the web have a short attention span and I personally don’t wait too long for a page to load, so optimizing your pages to improve retention is an obvious reason. But lo and behold! Google actually conducted studies and provided results of their experiments to see just HOW EXACTLY page load speed impacts web-based business. Read it in their Speed Matters blog post.

According to information I dug up on the subject Google uses 2 different ways to measure page load speed (quote below):

1. How a page responds to Googlebot
2. Load time as measured by the Google Toolbar

And if you paid attention – your Google webmaster tools have provided you with measures on how your blog performs since last December,

good, as far as I’m concerned and I already have some ideas on how to greatly improve it but first – we need to talk in a bit more details on…

Tools To Measure Your WordPress Blog Page Load Speed

Before any optimization takes place you need to know what you are dealing with, establish baseline and understand WHAT on your blog creates problems. There are a few tools I use and like to share with you.

1. Google Site Performance Tool

While it doesn’t give you too many options – it can be of GREAT help for getting started and basic performance issues optimizations. In fact – problems identified by this tool will be very closely aligned to a more advanced and complete tools I will share later.

Above you can see an examples of the few pages and Load Time as Google sees it. But it gets even better as Google will actually shows you some of the most critical things you can do to OPTIMIZE Page Load Speed for same pages, shown below:

Some of the things are under your control and some – kind off, as doing optimization will actually impact functionality and you just have to decide if you can deal with it or optimize it. Let’s just go over things shown below and what can be done to address them:

• Enable gzip compression – this is actually done on server-side and nothing you can do about it if your host doesn’t support it, sometimes they can enable it per cPanel account, so might be worth to ask. In my case – I’ll be recompiling my VPS Apache to enable this support this weekend.
• Combine external JavaScript – unfortunately those scripts are used by different plugins / widgets and the only way you can do optimization is to remove some of the functions. In my case I have chosen to remove Facebook widget to remove the script but second one comes from Lijit plugin and I’ll be keeping it.
• Minimize DNS lookups – once again, the only way to minimize those is cut functionality, although as shown above I was able to reduce it by moving banner for EWP and making it local and removing Facebook widget. That saved me 2 DNS queries out of 4.
• Serve resources from a consistent URL – the only way I found to optimize this one is by removing functionality through uninstalling plugins and it is not something most of bloggers would do, unless plugin is really useless – but then why do you have it in first place?

Those are just a few of the samples for very basic and there are a LOT better tools to use and see what exactly creates a speed bottleneck on your blog.

2. Page Speed

This is an Add On for Firefox / Firebug and absolutely FREE. Link I provided contains tutorials on How to install and use it on right hand side – be sure to read it! Great explanations that I have no intent to re-write!
Expanding options shown by this add-on will show you what could be done to optimize the page. Once again you will discover that some of the things can be done by you but most involve choosing speed over functionality!

Decision only you can make!

And if the above wasn’t enough – I want to share a third tool, extremely useful to measure you site performance and probably one that provides more info than anything else and also web-based, so you don’t have to install anything!

3. Web Page Test

This one gives you multitude of information and might be slightly overwhelming but since it has a graphical presentation of results – fairly easy to comprehend. Here is an example of my score:

Sad results and I’m still in disbelief about the times shown, so I would appreciate your input if you actually get as slow performance as they display!

Using anyone of the 3 tools provided above all together or individually should help you understand what is the biggest offender on your blog that slows it down and perhaps take steps to optimize the performance or even remove the offending plugin!

Why are these links to your site important? They can can…

1. bring potential customers to your site when they click on the link
2. boost the number of visitors to your web site
3. dramatically improve your search engine rankings

Even though there are software packages on the market that help automate the linking process, use them sparingly, if at all. The only way to succeed in linking strategies is (aside from creating useful content that will encourage inbound links) by manually creating the links. That’s a hard fact to swallow, given how I like to automate as much of my marketing as I can.

Here are the 10 most important inbound links you must have to your site:

1. Directory Links

Directories are indexes of online sites, typically organized by category. Links back to your site from directories like Yahoo Directory and DMOZ.org are very valuable. DMOZ.org is edited by human editors, and while it’s free, it may take awhile for your site to be added. Getting added to Yahoo’s Directory costs $299/year.

2. Press Releases

If you’re writing press releases, make sure they are optimized for keywords that someone would use to find a business like yours and include links back to your site, as well. Once written, you can have your press release distributed through a service like PRWeb.com, which will create links from high traffic news sites back to your site.

3. Article Directories

Writing and distributing articles through high traffic article directories, like EzineArticles. com, is a great way to get valuable inbound links from a high traffic site. By crafting an effective resource box at the close of your article, you can drive traffic back to your site!

4. Social Bookmarking

Similar to web browser bookmarks, social bookmarking sites store individual pages (bookmarks) online and allows users to tag (with keywords), organize, search, and manage bookmarks of web resources as well as share them with others. If you bookmark your content on these sites (like Digg.com, Reddit.com, Del.icio.us. com), you get a link from the service. By producing content that your readers love and then bookmark to their friends, the link increases in SEO value.

5. Blog Comments

To find blog posts on which to comment, you can use blog-specific search engines like Google Blog Search. Make sure these are blogs read by your target market, not your colleagues. Brand yourself by always using the same name and remember to link back to your site. Always leave a comment that adds to the conversation that’s happening within the comments.

6. Social Media

Now, Google also indexes your Twitter updates and your social networking profiles. Add that to Web 2.0 hubsites like Scribd or HubPage and you’ve got the option of creating many, many inbound links in a very short period of time.

7. Blog/Podcast Syndication

Submitting the RSS feed of your blog and podcast to syndication services will give you a link back to your site. In some cases, each time you publish a new blog post, the post itself will also get a link.

8. Video Syndication

YouTube is one of the most visited sites online, and the number of sites that syndicate videos is growing each day. These sites often allow you to link to your site either in your video’s description or on your profile page, or both.

9. .EDU and .GOV Links

Search engines place a great deal of credibility in government and education web sites, and the links carry a great deal of weight. Frankly, it isn’t easy to get inbound links from these sites.

10. Internal Links

Remember, if you have more than one web site, or a web site and a blog, be sure and link one to the other. You can do this by linking one article to other related articles, or link to categories or archives of information.

Creating a sound inbound linking strategy is a key component of your search engine optimization efforts. Try a few of the strategies listed above and see how your traffic and rankings grow.
