Speed is everything on the internet and by optimizing your blog/website you can guarantee that your site loads fast enough.  I recently did my own optimization of clickfornick just by using the following tools and optimization methods:

Checking scripts on your site:

I lost some optimization on my blog through the last year as I ended up leaving various scripts running that no longer served a purpose.  Start looking through your code, and make sure you know the purpose of each script being loaded. You just may have a few processes slowing down your site.

Best Tools to Optimize Your Website and Blog

1. HTML Optimize – This will compress your html code into one string of text which will take up less space after elimnating any unneeded spaces. However it will make it hard to edit your code, so make sure to keep an uncompressed version of your code on hand.

2. Image Optimize - Start using this tool to optimize your web images and reduce the total size.  Maybe you don’t really need 64 colors and only 3?  The difference can be dramatic.

The key is getting your website in the smallest file size possible to guarantee the fastest load time whether your site is being loaded with a mobile phone or on a 56k modem.
