A lot of the widgets and things we load on our Joomla sites from other services (YouTube, FaceBook, Twitter, ETC) increase page load speed because they are resources coming from servers otehr than our own. Many of these items can be replaced with static images without affecting their intended purpose and function (ie. subscribe buttons.) How to do this simple trick is the topic of this Maintenance Monday live stream!

JotCache Component is a great tool to speed up your Joomla site, but the record of expired pages in your database can really become bloated if you aren't manually flushing it when you work on your site. The good news is you can set up a cron job to delete that record of expired pages and decrease the amount of web hosting space your site uses - possibly even speeding up processing in your Joomla database.

How to set-up a cron job (cron.php) to automatically delete the record of expired pages in JotCache Component is the topic of this Maintenance Monday live stream.
