Speeding up Wordpress

[HelenM]

Any suggestions?

index your mysql tables

Thanks - how do I do that?

If you haven't, install WP-Cache. You can get it from http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-cache/

If you go into phpMyAdmin and go under your Wordpress database, you should see a list of all the tables used by the database. Click Check tables having overhead underneath the list of tables in the database, then select Optimize Table from the pull-down menu. That will clear any excess data that you don't need.

This gets rid of overhead which I believe is created when you "remove" records from your databases. I don't believe it completely deletes these records; by running the optimization option, you trim away the excess.

That's the best way to describe it in a non-technical manner. :D

Looks fine here, too...
