A couple weeks ago, my site was super slow, and wouldn’t load properly. I did some investigating, and found it was getting hammered by a Chinese search engine. I kept tabs on it throughout that day, and there were either different search engines indexing various portions of my site within 24 hours. Yikes. So I set about to enhance the performance a bit. Finally, I think I’ve pretty well nailed it. I’ve moved everything from Gallery to ZenPhoto (except photo descriptions), disabled some extra plugins, and implemented various other tweaks. Enjoy.
