Make WordPress Blog Load FasterSubscribe Subscribe

Recently I was stumbled into a post about making your Wordpress blog load faster. The principle of this process is simple which is reducing server request as much as possible by combining all javascript files loaded from your blog into a single file and also combining all css files into single file.

First you have to download a php script from this link, from rakaz. than upload the combine.php script to the root of your website. Secondly you need to create a cache directory that is writable by the web server. Again, by default this script will look for the cache directory in the root of the website, but you can change this in the combine.php script. Finally you need to create or modify your .htaccess file. If you do not have a .htaccess file you can create it in the root of your website and add the following lines.


RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^css/(.*\.css) /combine.php?type=css&files=$1
RewriteRule ^javascript/(.*\.js) /combine.php?type=javascript&files=$1

By applying this method, Only Easy Blog has gained a slightly better performance and thanks to rakaz who has invented this method for the first place.
