Recently a friend asked me about the YSlow score of our site and I was surprised to find a score of 86. Well, only good webmasters know how difficult it is to gain those extra milliseconds and reduce the page load time to less than half a second.

Joomla is one of the most user friendly Content Management Systems available today. However, it can suffer from the performance and page loadings.  Here are some points that should help to imporve performances.  Performance boost is also reported for Lighttpd (It's MUCH faster than Apache) server. But we find sometime it causes load spikes. So, you should use it after a few trial experiments. Most of the followings can be easily checked if you install firebug and yslow on your firefox browser.

Here are a few points that should help you to decide about a host.
