    Wordpress speed

    A Wordpress webpage with largish image files seems to load significantly quicker than a DIY page with similar sized images. Is this something to do with this?

    If so, anyone used it on their own site? Cheers.

    I might give it a go when I get home tonight. However, based on what I have been told by others, my website loads quickly enough... so the question is, do I want to load it any quicker? My only frustration is that the images in my slideshow doesn't get updated on the client side when I update it on the server side.... and there isn't an option on the server side to force an update. But if the Quick Cache is a fix, I might consider it.

      Is that plugin actually installed and enabled on the site in question? If so you could experiment turning it off for comparison.

        We use W3 Total Cache which does seem to improve things.
