Well, I could add the Super Cache plugin, however I don’t think its needed.

Let us know what will happen after you clean up the site (if needed).

I just tried with my own site – and the first test was 6 seconds but the average was 2.9x or something like that.

@ Denni, oh… you’re right about that. I hadn’t noticed. Well its hard to test now

@ Christian, you’re totally correct. It should have said “decrease” and not “increase”. It has been corrected. Thanks.

I think you are wrong about this:
“Ending all your URLs with a forward slash can increase the time it takes your website to load significantly. This applies to both in post links as well as any other links you have on your site.”

As far as I know, the opposite is actually true..!
When you have a if users and search engines try to access http://www.eeepc.dk/guides the server actually looks for a file with the filename “guides”. Since this is not found, it then carries on to look for a directory called “guides/”. Bingo, that was it.
So the better choice is to use http://www.eeepc.dk/guides/ since you (Apache) server then knows, that it should head directly for the directory and don’t try to serve a file first..

I don’t think you did the test fair. The first one is the average load time after 1 run and the last one is over 5 runs.

But I do agree, that it all helps.
