I’ve made one last tweak to my site to improve performance that I’d like to highlight to other Wordpress users who use the WP-Cache2 plugin. WP-Cache2 unfortunately doesn’t work with gzip compression, which means that some of your pages might actually load slower than if you just used gzip.

Yesterday, I made significant progress on my goal to cut down the number of plugins I use. I’ve even removed one of my previously ‘untouchable’ plugins, the Landing Sites plugin, after doing a Head-2-Head of its results against the Related Posts Plugin, and finding that the Related Posts Plugin actually produced more relevant results.
