3 More Plugins To Speedup WordPress
Connected Internet
Ensuring all of my plugins were up to date was my first task. I was quite surprised that when I went direct to the plugin author’s page how many were out of date. I’ve decided that relying on WordPress 2. 6+ to tell me that a plugin needs updating isn’t safe as not all authors remember to update their plugins on the WordPress site. Going through this process manually also allowed me to really contemplate whether some plugins I’d installed were really necessary. Deleting a few plugins made a big difference particularly database hogs like Brain’s Latest Comments and I now just use WordPress’s inbuilt tools to display latest comments. I’d advise checking whether you still ‘need’ plugins every month or so.
