So, you’ve done the most you can with step one of your WordPress Diet.
Believe me, there are more sit-ups to come and more calories to burn.
Increasing your site speed isn’t about that guy in Montana who has dial-up (If you’re from Montana, please, accept my apology. Just pretend I said, “Wyoming.”)

The app claimed to be from an “anti-gay” Christian organization, Exodus International.
Basically, the app was a portable version of their website. It included a calendar of events, news, links, social media and videos – all reflecting the stance of Exodus International’s stance that someone can be counseled away from homosexuality.
Apple deemed the app offensive and removed it. Apple spokesman Tom Neuymayr said,
We removed the Exodus International app from the App Store because it violates the developer guidelines by being offensive to large groups of people.
