Website loading speed is very important. Nobody likes to wait long for a website to load. Therefore, a good hosting is a must. And you need to have supportive team from them too. Else it will take even longer time if your hosting have problem.

My friends told me that my blog was slow during loading. I tested myself and discovered the same issue ~ slowness like “waiting for www.jayceooi.com” for 10 to 20 seconds. Then the website started to load. How to improve the loading time then? Check your hosting server status is the first time that you need to do.

Server Status

As you can see, there is alert on server load ~ Box under heavy load — you may experience degraded system performance. You need to contact support team if you continue seeing this message. Else your website will be as slow as turtle.

Service Status

Another thing to check is the service status. All of the services should be okay most of the time. A good hosting will rectify any issue occurs without us inform them. However, I did face problem with my previous hosting company. I need to contact them to bring up the SQL server myself. And they don’t even know that that SQL server was down. What a joke… By the way, my hosting support team solved the issue before I report it.

Finally, be sure that you select a good web hosting like I did. I am using HostMonster. How about you?

Money… Money… Money… Not everyone loves money. However, we cannot survive without it. That’s the simple rule of life. We need money to buy food, pay for daily needs and a place to stay. I am one of the participants in the rat race. Hopefully, will get out from there sooner.

Getting more advertising in your blog does not mean to bring more income. And it will slow down the loading of your website. Some of the readers might go away due to too much advertising. They will like to get the information that they need and not the advertising. Unless the advertising match their interest.

My blogs’ loading speed is slow lately. My friends told me else I did not notice it also. It is not directly due to many advertising but the hosting server response. It is slow when you key in the address and you need to wait until around 10 – 20 seconds for the page to start loading. Hmm… What is going on here?

Anyway, I will focus on the content rather than advertising from now on. With better keywords, they do bring more traffic. And that’s good if you have more CPM ads. Else you will have hard to earn if readers don’t click on CPC ads. Just take my blogs for example, my readers don’t like to click on image CPC ads. Therefore, the CPC ads earning is too low compare to CPM ads.

Finally, read more to gain more knowledge. It will help you to write better article == bring more traffic. And make sure your marketing is correct too.

Yes. I discovered the first issue after upgraded to WordPress 2.8. The WP-PostRatings developed by Lester ‘GaMerZ’ Chan cannot work. It failed to rate. What is going on here? After searching around, I discovered that the new WP-PostRatings 1.50 will generate some JavaScript codes at the footer. It requires <?php wp_footer(); ?> code in your theme footer template.

My current theme does not have <?php wp_footer(); ?> code at footer. So WP-PostRatings fail to rate. So if you are facing the same problem as I do, just double check that your footer template has <?php wp_footer(); ?> and header template has <?php wp_head(); ?>.

Yup. I upgraded all my 3 blogs to WordPress 2.8.2 in less than 1 minute. I love this new automatic update from WordPress. It is really as easy as ABC. Why I needed to upgrade all my blogs to version 2.8.2? I should upgrade them one by one to check for any incompatibility that might occur. I missed out that.

I want to make the PageNavi (navigation link at bottom of the page) to look better. I tweak the PageNavi CSS to follow One Theme navigation link style. I managed to make it look almost like One Theme at spBlogger.com but not in JayceOoi.com and PrettyGirl2u.com. Hmm… Why? After troubleshooting, I discovered that PageNavi version 2.5 is in use at spBlogger.com while version 2.4 at the other 2. And I cannot upgrade it to version 2.5 because it cannot support WordPress 2.7. So I decided to upgrade all of them in one shot.

Luckily, nothing unusual happen (for the moment). And I did notice that WordPress 2.8 is faster than 2.7 in post editing. Therefore, I recommend all of you to upgrade to version 2.8.2 as soon as possible.
