Wordpress much more efficient HTACCESS/mod_rewrite

 / Published in: Apache
 

URL: http://wordpress.org/extend/ideas/topic/wordpress-performance-improvement-that-does-not-require-a-plugin-simple-fix

A member of Wordpress community says: I placed this code on my site and it instantly cut my page load times from 4-8 seconds per page (and typically on the high end of that) down to 1-3 seconds per page and EVERYTHING on my site works as it did before. I have yet to find a problem with anything related to the change. It was a HUGE WordPress Performance improvement... and it didn't require me adding yet another plugin like WP Cache or WP Super Cache and inheriting the various problems that using those entail.
