Ever had a slow or unstable WordPress Blog? One of the reasons for a slow blog could be a poorly made php plug-in which is using too much of your web hosting server’s memory. Shared hosting usually limit user’s php memory limits to between 30MB-128MB depending on the web hosting package. Having too many plug-ins installed can also crash your blog, or make it run very slowly.
Your web host will not be happy if you go over your memory limit, and in extreme cases they might even disable your website, and ask you to buy a dedicated web hosting package which is a lot more expensive then a shared hosting web hosting package in most cases.
I use a Plug-in called “WordPress Memory Usage” to monitor my WordPress Memory usage.

Do you want to make your WordPress Blog viewable by cell phone users, and people who use mobile devices like IPod touch, Iphone, Android, and Blackberry smart phones? If your blog is mobile ready, it can be accessible to readers who are using a mobile phone to browse your blog which can equal a slight increase of traffic, and a source for information when your visitor is using a mobile device while away from their computer like on the bus, train, or plane.
Plus, if your mobile site looks good on a cell phone, people who found your site on Google’s and other search engines cell phone web search app would be less likely to hit the back button since there are fewer websites which are mobile ready compared to the number of websites which display poorly on many cell phones with smaller screens.
If visitors like your mobile site’s content, they will be more likely to read your regular blog since they are familiar with your writing style, and quality posts.
I found a plug-in which comes with themes and the plug-in which makes your WordPress blog more readable and accessible from mobile cell phone internet browsers.
The template is also very sleek and small to fit well on cell phone screens, so visitors to your blog can access your website to view your site comfortably on their tiny cell phone screens and web browsers.
The plug-in can detect when a visitor is using a cell phone web browser to access your website, and change the template to suit their cell phone screen with the Mobile theme plug-in.
