mod_rewrite is better unless you got some restrictions on it by your web host.

For seprating images, you need to create a sub domain for your blog and then transfer images to it so that images can load in parallel while the site is loading.

I think its better to seperate images on domains to lessen the servers workload.

Hi friends.

In just a week i moved three hosting companies two are vps with 2gb rams even then i faced the problem of high cpu and ram usage,Now i moved to a dedi box,but later i’ve taken a vps with 512ram and did some optimization and its working perfectly well.
Here iam sharing the tips for you,
1.Take a xen vps with atleast 512ram you can get them below 15$ a month.
2.Ask the hosting company to install nginx and varnish cache too.
3.Dont use w3tc cache,instead of it use quickcache and db cache reloaded.
4.Use a theme which has less images and optimised for speed.

Follow these 4 tips and you will definitely feel much much better.

@wpbuster, Create a post explaing these things better.First try a lowend vps and configure as i said then you can experience the boost.And with your own experience write an article
have a nice day

Images on a separate domain is good. It doesnt add to your server load.

thanks for the reply Avinash

Ive been hearing great reviews about the w3 total cache but i just havent downloaded it because of the installation tricky installation procedures. unlike some which is just plug and play.

i will try minifier like you suggested.

also most of the pics on my website im hosting on a separate host (photobucket) does that add to my server load?

reason for this is i didnt want to clog up my host space.

@Carlos,

After looking over your site, even though it loads fine still you can try few things. Just try using a minifier and reduce external javascript files. You can use WP-minify plugin along with wp super cache. OR you can go for w3 total cache instead of wp super cahce+ wp minifier. Keep in mind that w3 total cache plugin can be a bit confusing as its a bit advanced but great plugin.
