My weblog is too slow

    A well known search engine’s webmaster tools tells me that my weblog http://intheboatshed.net is running slow. Perhaps my 1900 or so posts contribute to this – or maybe not.

    Technology-wise I’m now rather a lightweight and I’m very much bamboozled by the information webmaster tools is giving me.

    Can anyone tell me what approaches should I take to trying to sort out this issue please?

    I’m using the following plugins:

    AdSense Now!
    Akismet
    Anti Feed-Scraper Message
    Enhanced WP-ContactForm
    External Links
    Google+ Plugin
    Google Analyticator
    Hello Dolly
    Jetpack by WordPress
    Official StatCounter Plugin
    Privacy Policy
    TentBlogger Optimize WordPress Database Plugin
    TentBlogger Simple SEO Sitemap
    W3 Total Cache
    WordPress Database Backup
    WordTwit

    I also seem to have a large number of dead old links, but as this is a spare time activity and earns very little, as far as I can see I lack the time to address this issue properly.

    Any advice would be most welcome.

    Thanks, Gavin Atkin

    Your cache is not working.
    There should be a message like this, <!-- Performance optimized by W3 Total Cache. Learn more: http://www.w3-edge.com/wordpress-plugins/
    at the end of your source code. The minify in w3tc is causing a javascript error. Check your settings in the plugin.

    Thanks kmessinger!

    To be honest, I couldn’t make much sense of W3 Total Cache, so I have deactivated it and instead I’m trying a different cacheing plugin.

    It seems to be working so I’ll watch what happens with interest.
