WordPress Optimization Tips – Slideshow
Recently Joost de Valk of Yoast (one of my WordPress heroes) gave a talk about WordPress optimization. He was kind enough to share the slides from his presentation and provide the embed code.
What do you think? Does this presentation cover everything or is there something vital missing? I think it is extremely comprehensive and is a solid guide to setting up and maintaining and optimized web site.
And I don’t know what the photo of my cat has to do with this post. I just thought it was cute that she was in such an uncomfortable spot and I couldn’t locate a better picture for this post.

Hi – I don’t know if all of them are necessary and I know that Statros disagrees with removing the meta tag for WordPress but I think it’s a great guide for most people.
