One of my goals is to attain maximum speed and shorter loading times.
So of you might already be familiar to my Optimized version of Global Translator which is initially made by www.Nothing2Hide.net, which provides translated version of your blog to visitors. Latest version till now is 1.0.9.1, which is a stable and improved version.
As I said it in my previous post on this topic, this plugin basically consumes a of bandwidth and keeps pages in a loading state for a long period of time, as it keeps many connections busy between the client and the server to download all independent flag pictures to the client’s computer. This slows down the website as there’s a limited number of simultaneous connections allowed between the client and the server and on the other side, this increases the ‘account hits’ on shared hosting plans.
In the new theme designed for Gibni.com, one of the main goals is to attain maximum speed and shorter page loading times. This post is for people who have the basics of website optimizations. In this post, I’ll discuss a very popular Wordpress Plugin, Global Translator, made by www.Nothing2Hide.net, which is used to provide translated version of your blog to visitors. This plugin improved a lot over time, and it gives better and better results after each upgrade. Latest version till date is 1.0.7.1, which is a stable version.
In the process of optimizing my website, I found out that this plugin consumes a large amount of loading time and keeps pages in a loading state for a long period of time, and it makes many connections busy between the client and the server to download all the flag pictures to the client’s computer. This slows down the page as there’s a limited number of simultaneous connections allowed between the client and the server. On the other side, this increases the ‘account hits’ on shared hosting plans.
I’ve recently installed a new Tag Cloud on Gibni.com, If you look well, you should already have noticed it.
It’s a 3D Sphere tag cloud! it’s based on a flash file but the real knowledge behind makes it completely search engine friendly. This is basically a plugin called WP-CUMULUS made by Roy Tanck. The Plugin is hosted now on Wordpress.org -> Plugin’s page.
I found this very exciting and as it does not interfere with search engine friendliness factors, I decided to add it to my new theme. I would recommend it as a good plugin as you can really customize it.
Back from vacations, it’s been a long time since I’ve written my latest article.
As some of you might know, I’m actually working on a new theme design for Gibni, which is supposed to be much more faster and Search Engine Optimized than the current theme (Prince Blog Theme I).
In the previous tutorial we talk about designing a wordpress template and some point to keep in mind while designing. We talked about a website being User-Friendly, Search Engine Optimized, Fast to load and Monetized. Let’s continue:
I’ve started to redesign and remake Gibni’s theme. As Gibni’s main technology relies on Wordpress, MySQL and PHP, so this post might be useful for many bloggers and for almost every theme designer.
I’ve decided to propose free blog / Website reviews till 30 days starting from now.
So if you want to get a kickstart for you blog and take a useful step towards success, do not hesitate! Just join the crowd!
