3 Simple Steps To Speed Up Your Website
In a time full of tweets, youtube videos, Facebook updates, and more, it can be pretty hard to keep visitors interested long enough to deliver value.

Although there are many other techniques, here is a simple 3 step plan to speed up your website:
  1. Monitor your analytics using tools like Google analytics, or Yahoo's Y Slow plugin, and figure out your current speed.
  2. If you have a lot of images, be sure to keep them at a smaller size.
  3. Use caching to make it easier for your web server to serve your site up to visitors, especially those new to your site. If you're on Wordpress, check out WP Super Cache.
