I’m going to take a “back-to-work” break after the long weekend and let my friend Marco do the blogging today. He’s got a great article on some things that anyone can do to optimize their Wordpress site (or any site), and it includes a few things I hadn’t heard before. Also included in the article is a great new plugin that he wrote, called WP-CSS-Streamliner, which will take all of the CSS files linked in each page, combine them in the order they were linked, optimize them, gzip-compress them and serve them up before any javascript is loaded. This is especially great if you’re running anything like Extended Live Archives or WP-Lightbox, which stick their own CSS files into the head. It’s running right now on the main C6 site, and although it comes with no guarantees, it’s working great. Check it out: On a quest for the ultimate website performance. 
Thanks for the support Brett!
I just updated the plugin. v1.0.3 creates separate cached files for each combination of CSS includes it finds in case it differs from page to page, it has a force-refresh option to fix broken cached CSS and some sanity checking in css.php to make sure people can’t try ‘funny stuff’ with it.
Highly recommended update!
I just upgraded on the main c6 site. Works great! I’m going to try it out on the blog next…
Not sure if you saw my reply on my site but looking at your source:
Add ‘alternate’ and ‘media=”print’ to the exclusion array and the plugin should run fine on this blog I think!
Keep up the good work! 10q
