• Guys, i’m really trying to speed up my site. I’m seeing all this stuff about compressing Java and CSS files. Where do i find my files such as my javascript file. When i look i my page source i see everything but i can’t find anything except general stuff in my editor in my dashboard. What am i looking for here? Where is all the stuff that shows up when i click page source and where can i edit it? Thanks.

    all lot of JS stuff is add via a widget. That doesn’t seem to show up in the code in editor yet it shows up in the page source. I guess it just confusing to me from what i learned a few years ago, i can’t seem to find anything. I have a online JS compressor asking me for my JS file, where would i find that? Thanks.

    That really depends upon what widget you’re referring to. It is a native widget or one that you installed as a plugin?

    either a text widget with html code or a installed plugin. I have a few but most aren’t native/ Thanks.

    If it’s a plugin, try looking in the relevant plugin folder in wp-content/plugins.

    yeah but i’m trying to edit the HTML of my site so as to combine all Java/CSS scripts to run as one so it will speed up my site. When i view page source it shows everything together just like always but when you go into dashboard everything seems to be separated, i’m sure i’m not interpreting it properly as i am still as novice at this stuff. Thanks for the responses. All this started when the yahoo compressor as me for my javascript file, i don’t know where that is. Any other thoughts on how to slim down my site. I’ve been using the firebug pluin YSlow. Thanks.

    Why do you want to compress your files? Compressing scripts and CSS isn’t going to reduce downloads by more than a few K. If your site is slow, you need to look at:

    – optimising your images and reducing image sizes wherever possible.
    – reducing the number of installed plugins
    – adding a caching plugin.
