really good plugins, I especially like the one to use google libraries.
if you want to optimize jpg and png try JPEGmini and TinyPNG – pretty good image optimizers IMHO!
Best Regards!

Dear Ajit, My question is when ever we upload any file into wordpress then it crop a defined size from that uploaded image. Now google pagespeed show that this croped image can be compressed loos lessly to improve page speed. Do you have any idea how to do this. Waiting for your kind attention

In reply to Koozai Mike.

Thanks Mike. I agree with you completely. Plugins make WordPress an even better CMS to work with and make it more SEO friendly. However, people should be wary of the fact that too many plugins can actually slow down their website.

W3 Total Cache can work, but it’s more complicated than other caching plugins. And the complexity doesn’t appear to add significantly to its performance (based on my own experience, not exhaustive studies). I recommend folks new to caching plugins start with WP Super Cache.

There’s also jQuery Image Lazy Load that in theory should speed page loads. I’ve tried it and it works as described, but I wasn’t able to measure an impact to reported page load times in GWT.

Great post Ajit, I know a lot of people struggle with WordPress SEO because they are concerned they’ll break the code, so the plugins are much appreciated.
