Joomla websites may be slow, especially if you have a lot of extensions installed. Page slow speed drive customers from your website. Also, since Google might consider page speed in its ranks, it is more important than ever to get page fast speed. JCH optimizes, a plugin for Joomla, is a fast, free and easy to get your site immediately.
A customer called me and asked that I could optimize your site for speed. I checked his site and found that seemed to load pretty fast, or at least as fast as dozens of different sites I visit every week. But to get a quantitative measure of speed site, I installed Google Page speed and tested your site. The score of speed of the site was 75.Then I tried my site and the speed of the page was 67. Speed scores are like curves classification and 67 is failing.
Two speed biggest drains on my site were more CSS and JavaScript. Since almost every Joomla extension comes with your own style sheet and javascript, most have extensions, more than one speed exhaust on your site.
After some quick research, I found JCH optimizes, a plugin for Joomla that aims to speed up your site once I installed and configured JCH optimizes, my page rank went from 67 to 78, an improvement of point 11. A 78 puts port my site until a passing grade.
Certainly not the site faster, but not the slowest both.
In fact, I did some speed tests of the page to other high-profile sites and after that I felt more comfortable with my page speed improved.
Note:
All scores of speed of page are only the home page.Sub-pages are often much faster, because they don't have multiple media and images as home page.

Add movies, flash, AJAX and a lot of beautiful images, and the speed of your page will go down. Also, database of websites like Joomla and WordPress are inherently slower than static Web pages.
JCH optimizes accelerates your site by doing the following:
Minimizes the css and JavaScript. This means that removes all the ends of the line and file css comments. Combines in a single file.Combines JavaScript files into a single file.Gzips files css combined.Gzips the combined JavaScript file.In addition, you can minimize all output html, but I did not use this function. JCH is easy to configure, and you can choose to activate only some of the features.In fact, you may need to exclude some Joomla components or javascript files individually to optimize JCH because the combination of files and minimizing might create conflicts that break the JavaScript functions.
For example, I have excluded AllVideos Reloaded because optimizing javascript made it so my YouTube videos not playing in Internet Explorer 8 (no big surprise because Internet Explorer is the most annoying and buggy of all browsers).
There are some negative effects caused by JCH optimize, but if you know about them, you can work around problems. where JCH optimize is activated, all changes to JavaScript or css file is not immediately recognized. Accordingly, recommends using JCH optimizes only after all development work is done. If you need to make changes to a JavaScript or stylesheet file, first disable JCH and then make your changes. Once you are done with your changes, you can activate JCH Back on.
I recommend this plugin if you want accelerate instantly your Joomla site. Thanks to the developer of this great plugin: Samuel Marshall.
