So if your site is loading 20 items, regardless of whether they are stylesheets, images or scripts, that equates to 4 seconds in latency alone“. So, take a good long look at your theme and determine what you really need in there. I saved a ton of time per page load by stripping out over 20 JavaScript calls and replacing them with PHP scripts which are cached once every five minutes. I also combined all my CSS files into a single file which decreased the number of HTTP requests my server had to take. Paul also have a great article on Compressing CSS with PHP that you should read if you still need to speed up your site more. [...] [...] Paul Stamatiou makes a great point by writing “Every HTTP request, or loading each item on your website, has an average round-trip latency of 0.2 seconds.
