WordPress Website Optimization

Lets face it everyone loves speed or at least majority does,now people don't want to wait for a website to load like they used to back in old days, an average user will wait couple of seconds for a particular page to load and if the response time is slow user will close that page and will look some place else, that's how things are going now on internet.

According to a  survey the most popular CMS is WordPress, taking market share of 55%  due to its simple user friendly interface and easy customizations with lots of plugins but adding tons of plugins will decrease your web page speed hence your web page will sure  have a great chance not to be on search engines first page 'especially on google' so i am going to show you few easy steps to boost your web page speed with just 2 plugins.
