How can I make my blog load faster?

The speed at which your blog loads is critical to attracting more readers to your blog. If your blog takes a long time to load, many readers may leave your blog before they have the chance to read it. Here are a few tips and tricks that will help your blog load faster and attract more users:

Posts

Your blog's load time can be affected by the number of posts you display on your main page. You can easily edit the number of posts displayed of the main page from the Settings | Formatting tab. You can then select the number of posts you want to display on the main page. We recommend displaying 10 or fewer posts on the main page. 

Third Party JavaScript and Links

For optimal blog load speed, we recommend using Google/Blogger widgets, JavaScript and links. However, if you need to use third party JavaScript and links, your blog will load much faster if you put all JavaScript at the bottom of your blog. If you have third party JavaScript and links in your sidebar, put them in at the bottom of the sidebar.

Website integration

While b2evolution can be used as a standalone blogging platform, it is also designed to be used as a blog/news/content manager to be embedded in a larger site.

For example, our website - b2evolution.net - itself uses b2evolution for several sections such as the news blog, the screenshots browser or even the donors listings.

Yet, other parts of the site are just static pages or even pages generated by other software such as phpBB for the forums or MediaWiki for this Wiki Manual.

Achieving this basically only requires 2 steps:

   1. Anchor a b2evolution blog to one or more specific location(s) of your website through the use of stub files.
   2. Adapt the look & feel of your b2evolution blogs in order to match the rest of your site by customizing a skin.

For advanced users, those two steps can be further combined into one by using a "noskin" template (such as a_noskin.php) instead of a stub file above.
[edit] Installing b2evolution as part of a larger site

You can install b2evolution at the root of your website or within a subdirectory.
