Maybe you’ve enabled the “flash slideshow” within the Slideshow options of NextGEN gallery. This will load the JW Image Rotator on every page. I’ve disable usage of the flash slideshow by unselecting the option:

[ ] Integrate the flash based slideshow for all flash supported devices

Without usage of the flash image rotator it is still possible to use slideshows. But the overall page load time increases. For me it looks like that loading the flash object causes the overall page display to be delayed. Google Chrome seems to handle loading of the flash object faster.

Anyway for me the fastest browser available seems to be Google Chrome. On my 13″ MacBook I recognize significant performance differences when using Safari, Firefox and Chrome. That’s the reason why I’m currently using Chrome (development version) as browser.

In my case it was caused by Googles mod_pagespeed plugin for Apache. I thought this is a nice plugin, but it seems it causes to much problems with WordPress (second time here for me). So I decided to no longer use this plugin.

Add the following lines of code to the functions.php in theme directory:

function auto_login() {
  if (!is_user_logged_in()) {
  //determine WordPress user account to impersonate
  $user_login = 'guest';

 //get user's ID
  $user = get_userdatabylogin($user_login);
  $user_id = $user->ID;

  //login
  wp_set_current_user($user_id, $user_login);
  wp_set_auth_cookie($user_id);
  do_action('wp_login', $user_login);
  }
}
add_action('init', 'auto_login');

Furtunatly there is an eays way to disable the admin bar. The only thing you have to do is to add one line of code into the functions.php of your theme:

add_filter( 'show_admin_bar', '__return_false' );

And the admin bar disappears, very nice.

Delete all revision of every post. It can be achieved using a simple SQL statement:

DELETE a,b,c
FROM wp_posts a
LEFT JOIN wp_term_relationships b ON (a.ID = b.object_id)
LEFT JOIN wp_postmeta c ON (a.ID = c.post_id)
WHERE a.post_type = 'revision'

I do this from time to time. Optionally it’s possible either to disable revison managment or restrict the number of saved revisions by adding one of the following statements into your wp-config.php:

define('WP_POST_REVISIONS', false );

define('WP_POST_REVISIONS', 3);

This is nice, but WordPress does still send a few HTTP requests to netdna.yoast.com. I think it makes no sense because we have disabled the Yoast widget:

To avoid this few unneeded request I’ve installed the Yoast Remove plugin. After installing and enabling the plugin the additional HTTP requests are gone and as a result we’ve improved the load time our admin dashboard a little bit:

I guess you have three choices to come around this issue.

1. Modify the WordPress core source code

I found this solution from seorankings.com. This solution is quick and dirty. It may happen that you will have to apply the hack again when you update your WordPress version.

To modify open the file wp-includes/category-template.php and find the function wp_tag_cloud(). Change the number assignment from 45 to what ever you need.

function wp_tag_cloud( $args = '' ) {
 $defaults = array(
 'smallest' => 8, 'largest' => 22, 'unit' => 'pt', 'number' => 45,

2. Add the tag cloud function call to your template

Another option is to add the wp_tag_cloud() function call into your template. I’ve not tested it but it should work when you add the call into your sidepar.php:

wp_tag_cloud(‘smallest=8&largest=22&number=30′);

Now you can easily adjust the number of tags in your cloud. For this option it’s needed to remove the tag cloud from your widgets within the wp-admin I guess.

3. Use a Plugin

Optionally search for a configurable tag cloud plugin and use it.

Pretty nice. But it needs minor modifications in your template code after installation. In my case I had to replace the following lines of code in a few .php files in my template.

<div id="pagenavi">
<!--
 <div><?php posts_nav_link('','','&laquo; Previous Entries') ?></div>
 <div><?php posts_nav_link('','Next Entries &raquo;','') ?></div>
-->
 <?php wp_pagenavi(); ?>
 </div>

Simply find all code places with the posts_nav_link(..) function call, remove them and add the wp_pagenavi() function call. That’s it.
