Comment on WordPress SEO Tutorial by Héctor.
SEO Consultant Makes a Mistake… not you, but me!
Hey, I’m reading your WordPress SEO tutorial and I found a potential explanation for my website to be slow (it’s not plugin related since I turned off all the plugins and noticed no difference.
“WordPress works in a way that it reads a URL with the format www.domain.com/%postname% (and the similar structures I advised) by looking for WordPress Pages (the static Pages) first because they have the same structure. If you have a WordPress blog with a lot of static Pages having a permalink structure like www.domain.com/%postname% for your blog Posts can seriously slow down WordPress generating a blog Post when a visitor accesses your site (it’s because WordPress Pages use the same URL format).
I’ve been using this structure on many sites for years (sites with thousands and even tens of thousands of posts), with no obvious problems, though I tend not to use many static Pages. As I understand things as long as you don’t have lots of static WordPress Pages (static Pages are like the About page) the impact is minimal on the average WordPress site.”
I don’t have that many paged (less than 15 maybe just 10), and I wonder how to test if these pages are causing my site to slow down.
Also, while writing this… I thought about images… what’s the optimal format and maybe size for images in a wordpress blog?
thanks
