Yup website optimize always be important part of us when we are looking for good website. But until now i see some sites / some “webmaster” going … something wrong
#1. Used too much … extensions to optimize !!!
Please note , optimize should / must do by self, manually and please don’t try to use automatic tools. Because
– You already wasted system resources to load these “optimize tools” and also can’t control your “optimized”
– These tools also need a bit resource to execute “optimize” ( like compress css / js onfly / image resize etc .. )
Why don’t you do that by self.
– Check whole site css / js and optimize into each line code . compress it by self and modify pointing to compressed .
– Remove duplicated / missed files included
– While posting please resize image byself to matches as needed. So your server also don’t need resize. And put attributes into image to force correct size.
You can use Firebugs ( and plugin of it ) to find out css / js need for optimize. Also check which css code don’t need to use.
Almost extensions / templates included “bundle” code that can use for multi case. But if you know you case you don’t need another.
For sample:
If template have css for 3rd extension like K2. But you know your site don’t use k2 or any kind of 3rd extensions in this template -> remove these css. You could save a bit !!!
Same with style / theme of each template. Often style of template is another css file override based css with theme … hey ! If you have website already used a style why don’t combine these css into one code only ! Don’t waste it.
#2. Installed too much … extensions on site 😐
Man ! Think out which extensions reallllly need for your site and use it only . Don’t messup your site w/ ton of extensions . It’s also put you under high risk of security.

That’s few points i have often faced while working w/ end users and noted here 🙂

Another thing got from YOOtheme !
Ajax.
Some concept here:
CSS / Image
– If we go with css sprite so we have a large image ( combined of 2 images for normal / mouse hover ) for sample around 10KB . And we can load it just one time for “all images”. It’s good. But what if we split back to 10 files ~ 5KB file. Site only load first image, which one will show on page as started … another image by normally don’t need to load UNTIL mouse hover so … we don’t load it while starting .. we can load it AFTER PAGE LOADED ( document.ready ) and use ajax to load these thing at “background”
So by this way we saved 5KB and still keep 1 loading process.
– Same logic for css. If out page large than 1 “screen page”. So … we can optimize to put css for “first screen page” into a css. And for “second page” will load after by ajax. Yup. This one a bit hard.

Hi! I will share some idea to optimization on my friv site:

#1. Check your code : Be sure to query really necessary
#2. Only select : fields really necessary (Not select *)
#3. Cache site: Cache query, config…
#4. Cache ram
#5. Use Dedicated server (if possible)

…Good luck!
