  1. Awesome! I’ve just improved my site speed quite a lot.

    I pretty much did everything you mentioned. Not entirely sure on the caching though.
    But images were a huge issue and the design using huge images. I redesigned my homepage to be less and thus got more speed. The thing is I still wanted to create my own design. Some sites are super fast loading but they are nothing. Like a photographer’s website with one big image on the homepage is obviously going to load faster.

    I’m sure using imagely hosting is helping me out too 🙂
