Here is another quick but good tip to improve the performance of your WordPress admin area:
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);

WordPress performance is a pain. It’s not secret. Here is a small tip to improve the WordPress admin dashboard a little bit. First of all I’ve disabled the WordPress Development Blog, Other WordPress News, Plugins and the Latest news from Yoast widgets. It can be done using the Screen Options button on the upper right side of the admin panel.
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:

It sounds quite strange, a VNC client for the iPhone. But incredible it works! I’ve used the Mocha VNC client because it is compatible with all known VNC server solutions. There are also other VNC clients available, but as far as I know they are not working together with all VNC server solutions.
I’ve tested the VNC client in a WiFi via a VPN connection to a Linux Red Hat Enterprise 3 server with the VNC server that comes with the Red Hat Enterprise distribution. After creating a profile and starting the remote connection a small surprise: a warning the my iPhone is low on memory. Funny, never seen such a warning before on my iPhone. But nevertheless the connection works.
The client supports landscape mode as well. And it’s possible to change the zoom of the remote display. Mouse handling is maybe not perfect but basically it works to remote control your server. I’ve not yet checked it over a G3 connection, it maybe a little bit slow. But for emergency cases it can be useful.
