Speeding up WordPress has just got easier; using PHP’s if statements you can only load the stuff you need.

When building ShiftNews, one thing we were always vary wary of was the effect on load time stuff would have. That meant sprites, not making too many database calls, that kind of thing. And then Alex C split the CSS file in two (just about in two anyway) and put half of it in single.css and the rest in style.css. The single.css file only gets loaded on posts and pages. In a moment the loading time of the homepage’s stylesheet was (just about) halved. Pretty neat. Good news is you can do it too!
