    Hi All,

    Could you please review my blog: http://gcbsourcing.com/Fr/Blog ?

    I'm particularly interested to understand why my blog is so slow and how can I make it faster without loosing its functionality. Speed is becoming more and more important in SEO and I need to find a solution.

    Thanks in advance for those who take the time :)

    Cheers,
    Nic

    Hi-dreamer,

    I used to use wp supercache, but wasn't really helping that much.

    I'll rather speed up my site by making it better, rather than using plugins. But if I have no choice will do.

    What do you think of W3 total cache? Seems like the plugin try to reduce different aspect of a blog, not just producing cache like wp supercache.

    Where did you host? Is your server offer WP Optimized solution. So far not all webhost offer WP optimized NGNIX based server, which is necessary for fast WP sites :)

    @ Stardust,
    I used to host on Nexx that have been bought by netfirm. The speed is a bit better now, but still too slow.

    @Yenny
    I know the section in google webmaster tool, but it's chinese to me. I don't know how to follow their advices to make it better. As I said before, w3 total cache looks like it can solve lots of google webmaster recommendation. But don't know if it's a good plugin and if it's easy to use for beginner in this domain!

    Thanks both of you for the answers thought :)
