WordPress › Support » Speed Up WordPress

Hello,
I am trying to speed up my wordpress site. I looked up the page speed on google page speed insights and there are a few high priority problems.

My website is http://www.actionfigurefury.com

1.Leverage browser caching
This is what shows on google page speed insights:

My current .htaccess contans this:

## EXPIRES CACHING ##
<IfModule mod_expires.c>
ExpiresActive On
ExpiresByType image/jpg "access 1 year"
ExpiresByType image/jpeg "access 1 year"
ExpiresByType image/gif "access 1 year"
ExpiresByType image/png "access 1 year"
ExpiresByType text/css "access 1 month"
ExpiresByType application/pdf "access 1 month"
ExpiresByType text/x-javascript "access 1 month"
ExpiresByType application/x-shockwave-flash "access 1 month"
ExpiresByType image/x-icon "access 1 year"
ExpiresDefault "access 2 days"
</IfModule>
## EXPIRES CACHING #

# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>

# END WordPress

The next thing that is high priority in goodle page speed insights is Combine images into CSS sprites

This is what page speed insights shows:

The following images served from actionfigurefury.com should be combined into as few images as possible using CSS sprites.

http://www.actionfigurefury.com/.../facebook-big.png
http://www.actionfigurefury.com/.../gallery-icon-small.png
http://www.actionfigurefury.com/.../navigation-current.png
http://www.actionfigurefury.com/.../navigation-line.gif
http://www.actionfigurefury.com/.../rss-big.png
http://www.actionfigurefury.com/.../search-button.png
http://www.actionfigurefury.com/.../social-bg.png
http://www.actionfigurefury.com/.../twitter-big.png

http://www.actionfigurefury.com/.../loading_background.png
http://www.actionfigurefury.com/.../overlay.png
http://www.actionfigurefury.com/.../toycollectioninsurance-50x50.png

Then there is enable compression.

This is what shows on google page speed insights:

Compressing the following resources with gzip could reduce their transfer size by 140.1KiB (70% reduction).
Compressing http://www.actionfigurefury.com/.../jquery.js?... could save 59.7KiB (64% reduction).
Compressing http://www.actionfigurefury.com/.../style.css could save 23.3KiB (79% reduction).

Compressing http://www.actionfigurefury.com/.../colorbox.css could save 3.2KiB (70% reduction).
Compressing http://www.actionfigurefury.com/.../scripts.js?... could save 2.2KiB (67% reduction).
Compressing http://www.actionfigurefury.com/.../nivo-slider.css could save 1KiB (57% reduction).
Compressing http://www.actionfigurefury.com/.../jcarousellite_1.0.1.pack.js?... could save 858B (41% reduction).
Compressing http://www.actionfigurefury.com/.../wpgroho.js?... could save 485B (52% reduction).
Compressing http://www.actionfigurefury.com/.../reset.css could save 327B (42% reduction).

The last high priority item is Defer parsing of JavaScript
