If you use WordPress as a publishing platform, here are some tips to make WordPress run faster in the eyes of your readers.
Using a light weight theme
Not in terms of loading time but in terms of delivering the reader the information he wants in the clearest way possible. light weight theme means: little colour, images minimalis, use brief content. just write a providing information which the reader is looking for
I like Andy Staines’ Advanced Admin Menus Plugin by which lets me reach every admin page with one page load only.
stripping extraneous PHP calls out of your theme
You can speed things up by stripping extraneous PHP calls out of your theme. Try to replace a lot of 10 or 15 calls to PHP functions with hard text and you should see a speed increase. For example is the PHP call to insert the name of your blog into the Title of the page.
Using cache plugin
You can use WP-Cache for caching or WP Super Cache plugin which will caches pages as static html files, and really helps to optimize wordPress loading times.
