I can’t agree more with Paul for being a Website Performance Junkie or speaking for myself, a WordPress Performance Junkie Blogger. One of his latest posts, On Being a Website Performance Junkie got me thinking. As i’m new to Amazon S3 i got excited from the idea of moving files like CSS, JavaScript and background images to Amazon server. Pointed made and seemed totally reasonable, if not uber cool. Moving those files on S3 servers leaves Apache with more time and resources to deal with the beauty of PHP and MySQL requests. If that wasn’t enough, Firefox and Internet Explorer are by default able for 2 requests at a time from a single domain*. Adding Amazon S3 to the game, simply means that the browser can retrieve twice as much data simultaneously: 2 requests from your-domain + 2 requests from Amazon’s servers**.
My quest as WordPress Performance Junkie Blogger always leaves me with the question: what else i could possibly do to improve performance to by blog? Errr… without getting my hands dirty with lots of coding, APIs and IDEs. According to YSlow, the first thing i had to do was adding Expires Headers to all of my CSS backgound images, .js and .css files. Συνέχεια…
