1 Optimize Images 2 Image Formats3 Optmize Your CSS4 Use a Slash on Your Links5 Use the Height and Width Tags6 Reduce the HTTP RequestsNothing new here, move along. (And the comments stink like digg-gaming)
Wow, I never thought of that, what a great idea. 1. Post stuff on my blog2. Submit to Digg3. Have friends and/or sock puppets Digg it up and post glowing comments4. Profit!Bury.
"The only thing optimized CSS does is make your code harder for you to read"You don't work from the optimized code. You work from a fully indented and commented development copy. Then you run an optimizer on it and deploy the result.Sure, it may only save you, say, 25% of your filesize, but if you're getting a million page views a day, that's *huge* -- that's like serving 250,000 page views for *free*. Have you ever run a "view source" on a google website? They squeeze every single byte out of their HTML/JS/CSS they can, and it's likely saving them millions of dollars a year.So yeah, for something like your blog that gets 10 page views a day, don't waste your time. But if you're getting any traffic worth speaking of, by all means, run one of the free optimizers out there.
" Friends as in 50 diggs made by the same person that posted it?Friends as in the 20 comments made by the same person that posted it? "I was the one that submitted this story. Somehow I get the feeling that you are insinuating that I dugg it 50 times and posted 20 comments? I would be very interested in seeing anything that backs up these claims, or perhaps it's all just figments of your wild but at least very amusing imagination? I'm a regular reader of Daily Blog Tips, and I submitted this to specific article to Digg because I believe that other people might find it worth the time it takes to read. Should you disagree, you're more than welcome to avoid digging it, as that's your God (Kevin Rose) given right. Heck, you can even bury it if you feel like it.What you can't do however, is throw out wild allegations about how my account is a spam account created for the intent of gaming Digg and getting stuff to the front page. In the end you'll only end up looking like a sock puppet of the "ooh stay away from our Digg" organization that for some reason seems to believe that you have more of a right to decide what's worthwhile and what's not than all of the other legitimate Digg users.

7. Use Wordpress: If people can't get to your site, they can't complain about how slow it is, thus eliminating the problem.
