 Good afternoon, everyone. How's everyone doing today? Are you enjoying yourself at work at Boston? Yeah? Well, welcome. I'm at the end of the day, so we're gonna leave here and go eat, and maybe go to sleep. It's gonna be a long weekend. So today we're talking about speeding up the WordPress. So go quick a little bit about me. I'm Frank. I make a few of the WordPress plugins, a lot of which focus on this type of topic. I'm also a professor at the University of Florida where I teach web development, as well as a few other places where I also teach web development. Now, so why does speed matter? So most of you probably hear because you know speed does matter, but just in case you're unaware, there's a variety of things that speed can affect beyond just your second. So one of the things that speed affects SEO. Now, a lot of the search engines rank higher based on how fast your site speed is. There's a lot of different factors in SEO algorithms, but Google, dot dot go, all of them put a heavier weight on second speed. And recently, a lot of them have been focused on the mobile speed. So if your site renders very quickly on desktop, and then you open up your phone and it takes 10 seconds to load on your phone, that's a bad sum. The phone outweighs the desktop current. So seed affects SEO. In addition to SEO, it affects things called conversions. Now, if you're not familiar with conversions, this is whatever your goal is on your web page or your website. So if you want people to buy from you or sign to your email list, things along those lines. So the term I use, conversions, there's your goal of that page. Now, there's a lot of studies on conversions and site speed. A couple of them is that Walmart found that if it increased your speed of your site, increased the four seconds, it would dramatically decrease the amount of conversions on their site. And also, they found that 79% of customers that were dissatisfied by the performance of your website would leave and then never come back. In addition, 47% of the customers don't even want to wait to two seconds. And then only 16% are willing to wait to five seconds. So a lot of you are hopefully not sites that are loading faster than five seconds, but even at five seconds, only at almost a tenth of your users are almost nine out of ten users would have already left by a time of five seconds. So that's not fast people are looking for. They're looking for two seconds or less. And most of the search engines are looking for a second or less is the stated goal. If you're unsure of how to even start the how to approach site speed, you'll probably want to at least test your site speed. Now, you could open up your web browser and get a little stopwatch app or something. It's probably not the best way to do it. So, luckily, there's a variety of tools we can use to test out our site speed and even give us some guidance of what we can do in knowing these, knowing this data. So, my favorite one is the Pingdom speed test. And that, we'll look at that one in just a moment actually. And that one just said tools.pingdom.com. Most things will do the same thing. We're going to look at Pingdom in just a moment, where you just enter in the URL of your website, and they'll give you a how fast it renders. They'll give you some sort of score or parade and some recommended things you can change. Now, the one that I usually always use Pingdom, but this Google page speed one, I also check there because Google has the biggest search engine. So they're telling you something, hey, you might want to get to. It's probably a good indication they factor that into your SEO. So usually I end up always doing Pingdom, but then also occasionally I also use the page speed insights, knowing that it probably is countered towards that. Now, that last one, the Chrome developer tool is if you're a developer, you might have already been familiar with developer tools. So if you're a developer and you don't have the developer tools, there's a tab called audit. You can run a lot of these tests from your own browser. The key difference there is that the Chrome developer tools will run it based off your own current speed connection, whereas these other ones will be based on servers, which we'll look at in just a moment. So let's open up Pingdom real quick, just as long as the internet is playing nicely. All right, so we are going to just say random URL, just so you can demonstrate this. Now, depending on where your target customer is, there you're going to see this little drop down of most of these tools where you can select what server to render from. If you are targeting everyone in the world, then it probably won't matter, just choose one that is close to you, but if you are maybe targeting people in the United States, then you would probably pick the United States one. If you're targeting someone in maybe Europe, you might pick the Sweden one. So that would just depend on who your target developer is. For our use case, we're just going to click USA, just so we can get to the actual data. So depending on the site and depending on where I'm at, this could take a couple seconds to load. So this one is broke down here. And now I'm using the Pingdom one, but almost all of these would work the same way. That would give you some sort of performance grade. So this one is 9.100. So it's saying I have a C. It gives me a load time. It tells me a couple of interesting data points. And then we scroll down, it starts giving you a breakdown of the things that they checked. And then it goes into a little bit more technical stuff which we'll go over later. Almost all these tools work the same way. I like this one because it's nice and color coded and it's real quick to check out what's going on. GT Metrics, the other tool I mentioned, has a WordPress specific run test. You can click on my running a WordPress site. It gives you a little bit more advice based off WordPress, but it's not quite as user friendly. So that's not usually the one I end up using, but that does have a WordPress specific test that might be useful as well for you to look at. So once you have an idea of what your speed is at. So the site you just looked at was at two seconds, maybe you looked at yours and it's 10 seconds or one second. Once you have that baseline, then you need to actually start optimizing and improving it. Now the very first thing that matters to the speed is your hosting. This is the very first thing. If you have really bad hosting, almost everything else you do won't matter. Now in addition to hosting riders, there's a lot of technical stuff which I'm not going to get too far into, but things such as the resources allotted to your site, things along those lines are very important. So if you have a really low end host, they might be giving you very minimal amount of resources, so it takes much longer for your site to run. Whereas sites such as WP Engine, Flywheel, SiteGround, a lot of those have really good resources and buy runs through your site and so your site will run faster. Now the good rule of thumb is if you're paying less than a dollar a month, it's probably not good hosting. Now there's a lot of hosting out there, so I'm not going to sit here and give you exact recommendations based on a giant list, but if you're paying less than a dollar a month, it's probably not good hosting. Now another big factor with hosting is the version of PHP that your site is running. Now keeping the PHP update to the recent version is a good idea for many reasons including security, but in terms of site speed, having a hosting provider use the current version, you can go from the one in the older version to the current version and have a 400% site speed, site speed increase. Now if you're not technical, you might not be sure exactly what PHP is. This is the language of request and this is usually managed by your hosting provider, so most of you probably won't be going in and adjusting this, but it'd be something you want to check with your hosting provider to make sure you're using the most recent version. So usually you can just open their chat and be like, hey, what version am I running? I'm using the latest version. It might be somewhere in your cPanel or your account that you can just see it, the current version being 7.2, the last one was 7.1. So if you look and you see it says 5.2 or 5.3, which happens to be security updates in a decade, that would be back. And then also a update to the recent version would see that 400% site speed increase, which would be a massive amount. So think that if you're at 4 seconds loading, just making sure you're up to the recent version, you'd be down to a second. So I just listed a couple quality hosting providers here. There's lots of many, many great hosting providers, but these are a couple of the really good ones. Many of them were here today. There are sponsors here as well as various people walking around. So these are really good ones. If you're the unsure host, this is where you could get started. SiteGround is the price-conscious one. I think they start off around $8 or $9 a month. The other ones are a little bit more expensive because there's a lot more to them, so it depends on the point you're after. Let SiteGround would be an affordable option if you have a women's budget. Now once you have your hosting taken care of and you're sure you're a good host, the next biggest factor is your theme. If you go find some random theme on the internet, which you probably shouldn't for a variety of reasons, but if you found this random thing, you installed it, and it was a bad theme, and you went and switched to a really good theme, you could see a site speed increase of almost four times. It could be that drastic the quality of the code could affect your site speed that drastically. So finding quality themes should be a high priority. Now the WordPress repository, when you go to your within your WordPress, you go to Appearance and Add New, that's the WordPress repository. Most of those are vetted for quality. Those are usually checked, not super thoroughly, but at least it's a good baseline that you're reasonably sure those are okay. If you find one randomly on the internet by searching for great themes, those are probably going to be bitter myths. So you want to find theme developers that you trust, such as the ones in the WordPress repository, or such as, I have a couple of examples here, studio press, elegant themes, there's a couple of them out there that are known in the community to be good quality themes. And if you're unsure, ask anyone you can hear, ask any sponsors, they usually can recommend one if you're unsure. Just don't try to avoid searching randomly on Google and selling them randomly. It might not be a good thing. Now here's a fun tip I came across a couple years ago from someone at another work app is that they run all the demos for the various themes through the speed test. So almost everything in today has some sort of demo set up somewhere. So you can take those demos, all three of them that you like and do three themes, and you can do a speed test on each of those demos. Theoretically, since they're demoing it and they're probably a sort of upsell, they're going to have it on decent hosting, they're probably going to optimize it. So it shouldn't be a good indicator of the speed the theme might have. Now the downside is that there's lots of factors in terms of site speed and theme configurations. So it's not going to be exactly a rule of thumb like this one, rating higher, how to slightly better see speed tests, it's better. But it's a good indication of whether or not this could be a fast theme. Does that make sense? Does anyone have questions on that part, the theme part? Now the next steps, we have decent hosting. We have a quality theme, hopefully. And then the next step is where, how many plugins should you have in your site? How many should you have? What type of plugins? What's a good rule of thumb? And so the one, the one question I get asked quite a bit is how many plugins should I have? And now the unfortunate answer is that there's no recommended amount, because every plugin is very different, every situation is very different. There are sites that have three or four plugins that are very intensive and they probably can't go over that, or they start seeing a speed decrease. Whereas other sites could have hundreds and not be affected. So there's a lot of factors. One couple factors could be the amount of functionality that a plugin provides. So you think of a plugin such as WooCommerce or easy digital downloads like a e-commerce plugin or something along those lines, or some big plugin that's a lot of functionality. There's a block going on there and that'll be different than a plugin that might add a single shortcode or a single food burn block. Those are vastly different plugins and that depending on what you're installing would affect how much you should have. A good rule of thumb though is aimed for around 20 to 30. That's a good rule of thumb. Now again, every situation is different. So you could have hundreds, you could have five or six and it could be different. But a good rule of thumb if you're unsure and get to, and you're up to 30 or 40, you probably might be getting too much. Now a good way to determine it is if you're not using a plugin, deactivate it. There's a lot of plugins that you saw that are single use, maybe like an import plugin or an export plugin or maybe a scan or a check. There's things that you might use one time or maybe once a month. If you're not using it then deactivate it so it's not being loaded. And then if you don't use it that often just go ahead and delete it by yourself. Does that make sense? Any questions on plugins? So the next factor here is you might have come across this term caching before. And caching is a variety of different types of caching or server caching browser caching, plugin caching. And essentially what this is think about WordPress as a whole. Whenever someone goes to your home page there's a lot of things that has to load. It has to load maybe the comments from your database has to load that the user might be logged in and has to load what content display, what bootable bird box are on the page, what widgets you're using in the footer. There's a lot of content that has to load and even some algorithms that has to process. So by default it runs all these processes every time someone goes to a page on their website. What caching does is it runs all of those algorithms and content loading and creates a version of that, a simple copy if you will. And then it just sends that copy every time someone tries to load the page instead of re-running all those algorithms every time. Does that sort of make sense? There's a lot more technicalities to it. That's a good quick overview. And there's a couple of different versions of caching. So that's kind of a big point. So there's server caching and this is more at the server level. So most of us here probably don't have access to this kind of caching, but some of your posting providers will enable this. So you think of the WP engines, the flywheel was the page, they usually have some sort of like meta cache or various aspects of caching that they offer or that they have on by default for you. Now the downside is that if a host has server caching in there they optimize and they have a lot of configurations that prevents you from doing anything with it. So that'd be something that they're to worry about. But we'll get to that in just a moment. The bigger factor is if you see a hosting provider has server caching that's usually a good sign that your site will be a little faster on that because server caching is really good. Now the opposite though is the plug-in caching. And so plug-in caching is what if you're on a hosting provider that doesn't have server caching? So you then know like a shared hosting provider. Maybe you probably still want caching so there's plugins that you can install that will do this for you. So the big difference though is that with server caching which makes it what makes it better is that server caching then can run it's run the server so it doesn't have to ever load enough wordpress and you can just send that copy to the user all by itself. Or as a plug-in if you're at the if you install plug-in wordpress still has to load a little bit to load the plug-in. So server caching tends to be a little bit better but it's only available on certain hosts usually higher end hosts so it's not something everyone can consider and that's where the plug-ins come in that can do this for you it's a slight difference between server and plug-in but it's not going to it's still a really good thing to use some for caching. So a lot of people use W3 total cache now that's a there's a lot of features in that one so it can be a little complicated that's a really good one if you're looking for one. Supercache one is another one Breeze is another one Breeze is made by Cloudwaves it's a hosting provider and what's nice about Breeze is it's really simple you hit the on switch or you hit the off switch so it's really nice it doesn't have a configuration of the others now so depending on your level technical skills it might not be enough for you but if you're looking for just something you can turn on Breeze is a good option. WP Rocket is another one that's recommended to me several times I've not personally used it but it'll be another one as well. Does that caching make sense before everyone does anyone have questions on caching? Breeze. So Breeze is a W3 total cache super cache but they're all plugins that you can install and Breeze is made by Cloudwaves it's a hosting provider but it's in the repository it's free like W3 total cache you can install them and turn on and they're all caching plugins they work very similarly. Does that answer your question? Anyone else with a question on caching? So there's the server caching and plugin caching you're asking if you have both is that good? So depending on the exact configuration of the server caching sometimes they're not compatible so depending on your hosting provider sometimes you can only do the server caching and not plugin caching and others like you can't have both depending on the configurations it's a little bit more technical so it would depend on the exact implementation of server caching and the exact implementation of the plugin cache so they can't be compatible because you just have to find a tunnel a little more usually if you have server caching it's easier not to do plugin caching unless you're at a certain level where you're desperately needed but it's a little bit more technical so maybe afterwards if you want to know more maybe we can discuss it a little bit more that answer your question so next is going to be offloading now offloading is the concept of having some of your resources on your site on some other server now this is useful for a variety of reasons by default your server it's hosting your site it's going to send all the data for your site but it's not going to be fine-tuned for delivering some of these resources whereas some other servers are configured in a better way to send specific resources a good example is images so if we go yes so if we have maybe images on your website most websites have images you might have lots of them depending on your server it might take a little bit to send the images over the users whereas on other servers they might be fine-tuned for this process that can send these a little bit faster but what in addition to that they're also usually part of something called a cda and this is a content delivery network so this is a series of these servers that are fine-tuned for sending this type of data what makes cds really nice is that cds or or a network of these servers spread around the world usually so if i am a mgirt user and i try to go into your website and your site is posted in new york and i live right down the street from new york it has to go down the wire the ethernet wires and it gets me fairly quickly probably but if i was in maybe japan for some part of asia trying to load your site and post it in new york it has to travel all the way around the world so it's going to take several seconds longer to reach me whereas with a cdn it has a network of these servers so there's probably a server down the road from me an agent that can load send me the data for your website instead of it having to go all the way into your most provider in new york so it's a high level overview of cds there's a lot more technicalities to it but these are generally a good idea especially if you have customers or users around the world now i was using the images as an example but a lot of these things that be set up to offload a lot of your resources in addition images so maybe your styles because you're in download like pdfs or various files or as opposed or even the javascript the actual code that renders a lot of the friend dynamics of your website a lot of that can be offloaded to these cds as well so there's a lot of them out there now this is a little bit more technical step but you could use a plugin such as wp s3 offload to do all this for you so amazon s3 if you're not familiar amazon the giant retailer has a giant web technology part of their company where they have servers and the post sites on they also have cds and they have various storage aspects one of their offerings is s3 so it's it's sort of like this cdn concept a little bit different but that's a whole other conversation wp s3 offloaded is a plugin you can install and just turn on and it'll manage that for you so that's a really nice aspect if not there's also a map cdn it's very popular in the plugin space i see this a lot throughout the WordPress community that would be another one you can look into they also have a similar setup where you do sign up for their service and you can sell plugin to turn on and it handles a lot of this for you now this particular thing usually costs some money because you're storing it somewhere so a lot of the stuff we talked about so far goes to the things i mentioned were free the ping-dome the w3 total cash this one would actually cost a little bit of money depending on your site though it could be pennies and money so it just depends on how much resources you have that was something that at least it'll came to you though is that sort of makes sense is anyone confused by offloading so the next big factor are images as the web has grown more and more media is getting placed on the websites you have images and videos in various content but images add data to be sent to the user so you think if you go to your website right now or even my site we went to the frankly so that me it has to send all of that data to my browser it has to send me all the content on the page all the text the styles the scripts the images all that gets sent to my browser now it gets downloaded from the internet so it could be maybe all the text is a couple kilobytes or maybe a couple megabytes if i have an image if i go out with this really nice icon camera water cannon i take this 18 billion megapixel camera and i take a picture and i have this nice image that's 6000 pixels by 6000 pixels and it's only a four gigabyte file and i upload seven of them to my website if someone has to load my website it's going to be 21 gigabytes to download that website and so if you're on dial up or those the internet that would take hours or days to open your website now obviously it's a hyperbole i don't think anyone's uploading that massive image but images could factor in drastically how slow your site loads if you have a lot of images and they're very large so things that you need to remember is that you want smaller images on the website so the smaller the image file the faster page will load so if i have 10 images that are 100 megabytes that's going to be a gigabyte to download that yes a gigabyte to download that website whereas if i had 10 files 10 images that were one kilobyte that's going to be 10 kilobytes and i'll look very fast and if you're if those starts kilobyte megabytes and that doesn't make sense to you that's kind of how storage is on computers and internet brings on how fast things go so the smaller the image the faster the page will load overall now there's two main ways you get smaller image one is smaller dimensions so if you take a picture or the very nice camera it might have a large dimension it might be 7 000 pixels by a thousand pixels but every very large image and on most websites if you take on your phone or on your desktop you might not need that big you probably have that big and there's different areas of your website maybe like a little avatar of yourself or little icons that are only maybe 20 pixels by 20 pixels or 100 pixels by 100 pixels loading in a 7 000 image or pixel would be very large it'd be hundreds times the size you need so you could decrease that you could shorten the width and the height to match what you actually need and you would speed up your site drastically now another aspect you could reduce is the quality of the photo now i know you might think oh i don't want blurry photos or i don't want bad photos on my site you don't have to you most visitors especially on mobile phones can't tell the difference between 70 out of 100 percent and most photographs so you could you could reduce almost a third of the file size and no one would even notice so this this is a general statement if you have really high quality photos you might not be able to reduce it all the way to 100 percent so there's there's some kind of a difference depending on what kind of images you're using but if you reduce the width and height and lower the quality by a little bit you could cut out almost 90 percent of the file size and see a massive speed increase decrease in your website does that make sense does anyone think yes sorry so there's a little bit more technical aspects here but yes rent is great it has high quality so theoretically though it's still you're still not going to need a 6000 by 6000 image so you still can decrease quite a bit to match right now the beauty beautiful thing about technical aspects is that you can actually specify different images to be loaded on different devices it's a little bit more technical than what we're going to go over but there are plugins that'll handle that for you if you search source set or rednet images in the WordPress repository there's plugins that'll enable you to do that so you have one image that gets sent as a rednet display and then a lower image that gets sent for more like a mobile device and that's kind of how you get a rednet does that answer your question any other questions on this part so most of those the dimensions and the quality if you're a designer or if you have a lot of stuff hopefully you might be doing Photoshop or some similar software to do that yourself but if you don't there are a few software solutions that could do this part for you now this is a plugin it's been renamed like a hundred times you might be familiar with it as by different name it used to be WP Smush and I know some others Smush it or something along those lines and now it's Smush image compression optimization and what this plugin does is you and saw it you activated and when you upload a plugin or upload an image it'll do some of this for you while when you upload it so you don't have to quite worry about doing it yourself it's not going to be as great as if you did it yourself but if you're if you're not sure how this all works it would be a good solution as a free plugin so that's nice now the downside and I'll get to the second recommendation moment is the downside of having a plugin do this for you is that it's taking away resources under the website so theoretically if you uploaded a thousand images at once it has to run this process to compress and optimize that image over all those images so it's going to take resources away from the hope that the server on the site that couldn't be dedicated to keeping yourself fast now if you're only uploading an image every now and then you probably won't notice a difference so what Kraken does is that this is more of a service so you upload an image it gets sent to Kraken to run this process and then it sends back an image to replace the image you uploaded that's compressed and optimized so that's another avenue depending on what you're after now the difference is the first one is free because it's a plugin the second one costs money depending on how many images you have I think it starts off at six dollars alone so it's it could be affordable but it's not free so that'd be something to consider I did find just today one of the sponsors WP compress sounds like they do a similar service but focus don't request I have not personally used them I've just met a sponsor today who have this so WP compress is the name so that might be another one to look into I haven't used it so I just learned it today so I can't vouch for it but that'd be another one to look into is that sort of makes sense is anyone questions on that so the next aspect of this is optimizing the scripts and the styles of your website so when someone loads your website they get html which is the actual content layout they get CSS which is the design of your website they get JavaScript which is the script of your website the dynamic aspects and a lot of these files can be very large or a bit larger than they probably need to be so the concept of optimizing these is making these files a bit smaller to make it faster to load and faster to download so there's a couple of ways this happens now you don't have to remember this exact word because I'm going to go over a couple plugins I'm going to do this for you in just a moment but concatenation is the concept of combining these files together rather than having to have 20 separate downloads they use download one file that has all these other styles kind of combined together the other concept is minification so in these design files and scripting files there's a lot of space there's a lot of things as they go through new lines and they have characters in spacing they might have comments in there for themselves for the developers and minification would strip all that out and compact the file down to make it a smaller file so depending on how big these files are you could see a drastic difference between the whole file and the minified file now it's nice is most caching plugins like W3TotalCache that I mentioned earlier and WParocket they have this feature built in for you the thing to worry about though is that a lot of plugins not a lot but many plugins may not work properly if you turn on that option in the cache plugins so I'd be something aware of when you have these cache plugins such as W3TotalCache these are great options concatenation, minification they're usually just called optimization but they might have a set breakdown depending on your caching plugin when you turn it on you'll want to go through your site to make sure it still functions properly because some plugins will could break depending on how they're structured so you want to turn it on and then go through your site and make sure everything still works and if it does it's great if it doesn't then you have to turn it back off and then maybe work with the plugin developer open a support ticket reach on support forums be like hey I've tried to do this it's something broke what's what can I do here now if you're on a host provider that has server caching so such as WPH and Flywheel some of them do not allow you to use plugin caching for conflicting reasons so you want to go and use those plugins however this plugin here will do this optimization step without having the caching part of the plugin so if you do not have caching you could use this plugin to at least do this optimization aspect so I never pronounce this right I'm assuming it's a compromise but it could be something entirely different but that's how it's done and you can find that in the plugin repository is a free plugin you just install and then turn on and then once again you'll want to test your site to make sure nothing broke before you want to wait for them does optimization sort of make sense I know it's a little bit more technical but that makes sense and anyone have any questions okay so keeping your site tidy now once you optimize your images and your themes a lot of those are the bigger aspects but once you've done all that you're still trying to make your site a little bit faster that's when you get to this step now when it comes to WordPress all the data of your WordPress all the comments all your pages all your posts your users all that is stored in a database and when pages get loaded and various aspects of your site is happening that database has to be queried upon and loaded upon a lot of that data so when you have a lot of data it could slow down some of that querying some of that voting now not by lot it's not going to be several seconds just because you have some comments in your site it's not that drastic but it does have a effect on your site so for example if you try to load a post on your site it goes really popular and it has a hundred comments on it which that's great but if there was maybe 10,000 spam comments it has to go through all these comments and the database to find a hundred for that post so sometimes you'll have a spam attack on your site and you'll log in you'll have hundreds of spam comments you have to go through and delete well sometimes if you don't log in your site you forget about it for three years you'll log in you'll see 80,000 spam comments and that's not a hyperbole I had a client I logged in they had 85,000 spam comments that slows down your sites the site has to load go through the comments database the table on the database to find the comments for various posts so you want to keep up with this kind of thing and delete the or move and delete spam comments or your trash comments things along those lines you want to keep tidy and only keep like the active comments same thing with a couple of these other ones the revisions if you're not a warrior WordPress has this cool thing whether you make a change for a post it keeps the older version in case you need to revert back to it or whatever case may be and it also auto saves and things along those lines now depending on your housing provider and your setup it could keep the last 20 to 30 versions of your poster page so these are all this data that you probably don't need so some hosting providers allow you somewhere in the account settings or the management area you can limit the number of revisions so you say well only keep the last copy or the last change I made or only keep the last two or three that's a good idea if you don't want to keep 30 or 40 especially when you're making lots of changes and you have lots of posts in your website that adds up so having a way to limit the revisions hosting providers will you sometimes have this option if they don't there's plugins in the repository that are free that you can install and do this that way as well the last couple ones remove auto-drafts remove old transents this is a little more technical so I don't want to get too far into it but a lot of this is just sort of like the revisions concept where there's just a lot of data that it kind of keeps its backup for you and changes and things along those lines there's plugins you'll install that'll set up data and then when you might install it they won't remove their data all this kind of stuff where we're time built up and these are things that you want to remove luckily there's a plugin called WP suite that'll do a lot of this that's for you and this one's really nice it's one of those plugins you install and it kind of scans your database the plugins you have the themes you have and it goes hey these the 9 000 rows in your database that you're that's just kind of taking up space so using that tool is really great one of the words of caution is that theoretically it could accidentally delete something that you actually need so you want to make sure your site's backed up before you run it just in case I've never had an issue but it's theoretically possible so you want to make sure your site's backed up and then run it and then get rid of the plugins you don't want to keep a set of plugins actively you're not using time back to our earlier thing does that sort of make sense does anyone have questions on that part I know there's a little bit more technical so I don't want to go too far into it but does anyone have questions on that part yes it breaks it into categories but it doesn't break it down like per plugin or anything like that so it will tell you oh when auto drafts you have 217 but that's not going to be super useful for you to check off it doesn't have that granular it breaks into categories so maybe auto drafts it probably won't have any issues but maybe the plugin data maybe you don't get rid of that so you can but it's just not granular as you probably don't think for it any questions on that but we only have a couple minutes left but luckily that is my last slide so we have two minutes left does anyone have any questions this has been a fairly quiet crowd here any questions at all site speed I'm sorry um I don't know is this word camp posting their slides isn't it I don't I don't think they are but I'll post on my Twitter um so at fbcorsa and then it's also going to be a blog post getting launched tomorrow on that website that would be health.ac and that so there'll be a blog post there wouldn't they slide to it and I'll also post on the Twitter as well I'll link to that as well so one of those ways you should find it and then I'll I don't know I don't think the word can't post much so it'll probably be one of those stuff was this useful for every one night that's a little quiet in here so I wouldn't show it all right great thank you so much
