If you are a blogger or webmaster it is important that your sites load time should be optimum otherwise your visitors won’t stay. Php speedy is a useful script to speed up your blogs or sites. It decreases the load time of your blog by making fewer HTTP requests, gzipping pages, minimizing scripts and styles.
Aciddrop the blog behind PHP speedy, released a WP Plugin for wordpress bloggers. This is a preview release so please be aware of the fact there may be some bugs in it. Download the plugin and install as any other plugin and set the options in wp options panel. Verify using test configuration tab if it can find javascript and CSS files, after that you need to activate it.
For other blogs and sites php speedy script is available as standalone install. All you do is download the script and install in a sub folder in your domain (ex: http://www.yourdomain.com/php_speedy/). After installation you have to add a line of php code to top and bottom of your site pages.

Ram,
I didnt understand the instalation part!
“Verify using test configuration tab if it can find javascript and CSS files, after that you need to activate it.”
What does this mean?
Sumesh says
Bleeding edge, isn’t it? But I wonder whether it’d be stable enough for production usage.
I’d be testing out once final release is out, for sure.
@Nirmal: From what I understand, there’s a preview tab in admin panel, where it’d test for req. files.

Ram, any idea what exactly it does so that the pages are rendered fast?
Ram says
@Nirmal
Look for the test configuration tab in admin panel
@Sumesh
Its a preview release, so may not be stable for production site
@Joel
It compresses the javascript and css files.

Is this plugin still a preview? I’m hoping to try this out. Thanks for sharing!
