The lounge is love. The lounge is life.
Buddy, this isn't a method. They're settings to increase website performance.
Not only that, but pageviews to visitors ratio has improved again. People simply don't want to spend time on a slow site, and the term 'slow' can be 3 seconds to most people. Older people tend to be more patient I've noticed.

I personally hate slow loading websites, which is an important reason for me wanting to have my websites as fast as possible. Cheers for the great guide OP!

Is anyone able to help me out with this?
I'm not a technical person at all, but from what I can gather it's what's making my site take longer than 4 seconds to load. (With the guide from OP and installing CloudFlare)

If you tested your performance with http://tools.pingdom.com/fpt/, open the Performance Grade tab and see what you're scoring low on. You may need to look into 'Leverage Browser Caching' or 'Serve Static Content From A Cookieless Domain' as those are most common. It takes some practice and re-reading but it's worth it.

PROOF your website speed makes a HUGE difference.
The left is before enhancing speed.
Pageviews have been a pathetic 1 view per person (on average) and now they're visiting more pages.
It's not perfect yet but now you see how simply making your website quicker can make people stick longer.

Very interesting. Most my sites are slow as death and I even have one that takes 8 seconds to load LOL. I got serious bandwith problems too. I'm gonna try fixing everything this week and see what it does to traffic. Thanks for the guide.

Cheers man, just had a look and 'Serve static content from a cookieless domain' is at 70 and 'Remove query strings from static resources' was at 73, a plugin I just found bumped that up to 81. The rest are 91>100.

Will give Thanks in the morning. Overseas one of my sites takes 30 seconds to load XD
You should see at minimum a x2 increase in pageviews or visitor length, let us know.
Yep those will do it, especially if you're running social media widgets or Adsense ads. Great to hear bud.

Simply can not beileve it. OP you are master Joda.
Can you show us some images of your settings, please.
I have lot of .js's, css's. Cashe plugins make me problems, and I quit.
I must use some dummy test site to try to optimez it better.
Thanks for posting this info so we know it can be done
