Cache Issues

Due to abysmal page load times, and the “that module is evil” comment from unlimited support, I have removed wp_super_cache from supercars-for-sale.com, and replaced it with “quick_cache”.

No issues so far, other than a clash with the contact form plugin. So I’ve replaced that with the very stylish “contact_me” plugin.
This includes a complete CRM system (contactme.com).. Not sure if I need that, but hey..

Anyway, the page load time is now VERY fast.
I’ve also removed a load of deactivated plugins, just in case..

Gotta get this right, I’m expecting my first PAID ads for this site VERY soon..

Site Updates

Moved all remaining sites over to WordPress Mobile Pack, rather than WordPress Mobile Edition.
This was not without complications! Rights, settings, etc.
All sites with serious traffic are now running WP-Super-Cache. Page load times on Supercars-for-sale.com have dropped from “up-to-30-seconds” down to about 1 second.
Google Analytics says that traffic has picked up a bit as a result. Again, some interesting issues, and clashes with Mobile Pack.
Tweaked the WordPress Mobile Pack Templates. Created new “Mobile” Ad groups in Datafeedr, and inserted the php code into header and footer. Bingo. Mobile ad space, controlled directly within WP admin.

.. and finally, got to the bottom of the speed issues. Wassup database had 280000 records.. MBP ping optimiser something similar. Deleted the lot. Sorted. Why can’t these plugins do their own housekeeping?
