一些提高WordPress速度的技巧
> Aside from plugins, you can do a lot of things yourself to speed up your WordPress blog. Some of them are one-time things, some of them are long-term habits. Follow these 10 tips to speed up your WordPress blog.
在除了使用插件，你还可以通过其他手段来为WordPress博客提速。有一些是一次性的，另外一些则需要养成良好的使用习惯并长期坚持。按以下10个技巧来加速你的WordPress博客。
> Stay up to date: WordPress periodically comes out with new releases that include security fixes and new functionality. In addition, each new release usually contains code fixes and speed improvements. The newest releases support plugins that let you speed up your blog. Updating is a hassle, but definitely worth the work.
保持博客程序更新：WordPress会周期性的发布新版本，新版本不仅包括安全问题的修复，也提供了新功能。除此之外，每个新版本通常包含代码修正和速度提升，最新的版本支持用来为您的博客提速的插件。保持更新是有些麻烦，但这些工作是值得你为之付出的。
> Remove unused plugins: They slow down your blog by adding unnecessary, unused code that still has to load every time somebody accesses your page.
移除不需要的插件：无用的插件会使你的博客变慢，因为它们增加页面受访问时加载的不必要、不可用的代码。
> Disable post revisions: Post revisions, great for multi-author blogs, aren’t really necessary for single-author endeavors.

Turn revisions off in your wp_config.php file by adding the line define(‘WP_POST_REVISIONS’, false); right after the ” tag
禁用文章版本控制：文章版本，对于多作者协作的博客也许很有必要，对于个人博客却未必。文章版本在你保存文章是你wp_post表中添加一行。由于空间的消耗，你的速度也随之下降，禁用的方法是：在你的wp_config.php文件中的 <?php标签后增加define(‘WP_POST_REVISIONS’, false)。
> Unlike some blogging platforms, WordPress makes it easy to speed up your blog. Use these plugins and follow this advice to see immediate speed improvements.
不像其他的博客程序，WordPress使得你的博客提速工作很容易。使用这些插件，并遵循这几条建议，你就会看到显著的提速效果。
