WordPress ☛ How WordPress Is Creating a Faster Web [Ed: The opposite is true. This seems like damage-limiting move, seeing that many sites dump WP and go static. Fast Web would mean on copper-grade connection pages would take under a second to load fully. WordPress typically means that for every page request there need to be several database lookups and this has severe environmental toll. Caching is OK in practice (Squid, Varnish etc.) but as the Web filled up with bots, now a considerable majority of all traffic, it is easy to "escape" the "common" or recent URLs. WordPress is now bloatware because it saw no other way to evolve and this is a common error.]
