My last post was about tips to increase Wordpess blog speed, page loading speed and so on. So today i decided to provide some information about tools, plug-ins to speed up Wordpress blog. Several plug-ins are really useful. I have tried a couple of them and noticed a difference after running several of them. These plug-ins are not listed in any order and you can try any plug-in you want. It just depends on your needs.
1. Autoptimize – This plug-in does a lot to make your blog as lightweight as possible. Visit a link to find more on this plugin (wordpress.org/extend/plugins/autoptimize/).
2. WP Widget Cache – is a caching plug-in and can be used in conjunction with other similar plug-ins. (wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-widget-cache/)
3. WP Super Cach – this plug-in will serve static HTML file for your visitors. Wordpress blogs usualy use heavier PHP scripts. Cached HTML files will be served very quickly (wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-super-cache/).
4. cSprites – Speed up page load time with dynamic image Srites – this tool uses CSS tricks to combine images into a lager one. It will compress your images in your content in one big image. This way your pages will load much faster (wordpress.org/extend/plugins/csprites-for-wordpress/)
5. Clean options – this plug-in will help you to remove orphaned options. Very useful and easy to use plug-in. After running it I have noticed that pages of my blog load faster (wordpress.org/extend/plugins/clean-options/).
6. Web Optimizer – the aim of this plug-in is to do everything to load your blog as fast as possible. This will increase pages’ load speed (wordpress.org/extend/plugins/web-optimizer/).
7. 1 Blog Cacher – server load is also important and this tool will minimize server load and increase the response speed (wordpress.org/extend/plugins/1-blog-cacher/). Great plug-in for slower servers.
8. Hyper Cache – If you have no money to pay for fast hosting provider and want to increase speed of your blog this plug-in is what you need (wordpress.org/extend/plugins/hyper-cache/).
9. CSS Cache Buster – to have a very latest version of CSS use this plug-in. Using Caching system this will speed things up (wordpress.org/extend/plugins/css-cache-buster/).
10. WP System Health – and finally this is not a plug-in to optimize your blog but it shows very useful information on your blog (wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-system-health/).
There are ten plug-ins you may use to increase the speed of your Wordpress blog, decrease server load time, increase loading time of the pages and optimize your blog.

I removed a lot of plugins from my blogs and I have noticed that the blog and the admin panel are loading faster.
I wonder if some of these plugins would speed it up even faster.
