Wordpress Needed to Load Quicker - Many Images.. Help

    Hey guys,

    I am need of some thoughts. My site, here, has a lot of images to load every time the user loads the home page. Right now its sitting at about 5 seconds to load which is AWFUL, and we are not even finished adding games.

    Basically I need advice on what I can do with the images to speed up the load time.

    Here is what I have so far:
    1. Rerender thumbnails to PNG and compress
    2. Enable infyscroll so that only images above the fold load on visit and the rest load while you scroll.

    Now I need your input :)

    Thanks in advance!

    Id suggest both or one of the following. Since you website uses lots of dynamic content it would probably greatly increase speed of your pages using a caching optimization technique such as Varnish Cache. Varnish Cache is a web application accelerator also known as a caching HTTP reverse proxy.

    Varnish stores data in virtual memory and leaves the task of deciding what is stored in memory and what gets paged out to disk to the operating system. This helps avoid the situation where the operating system starts caching data while they are moved to disk by the application.

    On-top of that using a free/pro CloudFlare account will help too. Both the optimizations and the CDN will assist with page loading times, and server load.

    1. Use a caching plugin like WPsuperCache or W3totalcache
    2. Try a cdn to host static content
    3. Use ssd or ssd cached storage for your server.

    How about smash.it plug-in? It can optimize images.

    at gamingfree.org I just use cloudflare. It's easy and its free. Plus if you go paid it's even better if you have more than one site. I just use free and its pretty good.

    Did you try to turn on gzip compression ? Check if your hosting provider supports .htaccess, if it does, you can easily speed up your website.
