Welcome to the Q&A Forum

A CSS validation notes the following: Family names containing whitespace should be quoted. If quoting is omitted, any whitespace characters before and after the name are ignored and any sequence of whitespace characters inside the name is converted to a single space. Not sure what this means or how to fix. Help. thanks

Is there any advantage to removing unused CSS on a wp theme template. If removed will it not merely be added with the next update?

After validating the CSS on my site the error "Parse Error title=" was shown with no explanation. What is this?

I noticed recommendations from yslow on "add expires headers" but they refer to sites that plug into mine (such as a you tube video). Can anything be done about this recommendation?

What is the advantage of having a cookie free domain and how does one set this up on wordpress?

What is an alpha image loader filter and what does it do to on page optimization?

Any way of preventing a re-direct caused by a wordpress plugin?

How much practical impact do inefficient CSS selectors have on page speed?

One recommendation from a page speed analysis of my site was to combine CSS (external style sheets) but after reading more on the topic others say that this is not always best. Any thoughts on either approach?

While working through a number of issues related to the speed of my site I came across a discussion of E Tags. I did not read much positive about them. How do they affect SEO? Or do they?

thanks Matt. Will give it a try

Tried a tool called Gtmetrix that provides a yslow input

I have been experimenting with a number of plugins to speed up the loading of my wordpress site and find that website speed testing tools are all over the map when it comes to results. Even the same tool can produce vastly different results. Does anyone have experience with one that is both dependable and consistent?

thanks Moosa

Tried the stumbleupon paid directory recently and the data on the dashboard showed a significant number of "stumbles" reported to be traffic delivered to my site yet my site traffic metrics do not show a corresponding increases anywhere near the stumbleupon number. Does anyone else have any experience with this service?

Has anyone used the new SEO settings for dsIDXpress?

thanks Dana, some very interesting info in the slide deck.

Does anyone have any experience comparing the effectiveness of website colors? Does background color make any difference?

tried google places but too many problems with merged listings and scraped information being added to the page without any input from the so called owner- one of the spammiest things on the web as they regularly contain incorrect information

thanks for the input. Had given quest-posting some thought but have not tried it. I think that I will to see if I get any response
