Mar 16, 2023 pm 08:20 PMHow to optimize WordPress themes? The following article will introduce you to 10 tips for improving WordPress themes. I hope it will be helpful to you!
Nowadays, many friends use WordPress to build blogs. After installing WordPress, many new users try to search and download some very personalized themes online, while few users use the WordPress default theme. In fact, no matter whether the WordPress theme you use is paid or free, there are still many areas that need improvement. The following WordPress theme suggestions cover basic customization tips, styling and optimization methods
1. Reduce image size
In every WordPress theme Images all play an important role, but unfortunately many theme developers forget to optimize them. The images include CSS background images, template logos, default images, small icons, etc.
Optimizing images can save your bandwidth consumption and improve page response time for your blog readers. Take PhotoShop CS3 as an example, the menu bar "File" - "Save for Web and Devices" can optimize pictures for the Web. Usually what I do is keep reducing the quality of the image until I see a noticeable change in color or quality.
In addition, you can also use a lossless image optimization tool like Smush.it. This tool can compress the image size while ensuring the image quality. There are two ways to use it:
- Click in sequence "UPLOADER" - "Select Files and Smush", select the local image to be compressed, and finally click on the image name of the compression result to download
- Click "URL", enter the URL address of the image, and submit Start compressing
2. Use a personalized Favicon
Some WordPress themes do not come with A default favicon (the icon can mark a website, you can see it in the browser tab and the browser's URL bar). The following figure represents the favicon icon used by this blog, an if
If a website does not have a favicon icon, it will give people an unprofessional feeling. For this reason, make sure your WordPress theme contains a favicon icon. Setting the favicon icon is actually very simple. Just upload a favicon.ico
icon file to the root directory of the website. If your host does not support this method, you can also reference it in the WordPress theme. Open header.php in the theme directory and add the following code before (remember to change favicon.ico in the following code to Your icon URL):
<link rel="icon" href="favicon.ico" type="image/x-icon" />
3. Stylized Image Description
When you upload an image and insert it into an article, you should Add a picture description to it to describe it. Note: The picture description is the descriptive text of the picture. Edit the article in the WordPress background and there are some options after uploading the picture. The second title in the picture below is the descriptive text of the picture:
Every good WordPress theme should include a default style for image descriptions. To style the default image descriptions, you can add .wp-caption## to the theme’s style.css. # kind. The following is the CSS code for styling the image description. You can refer to it (using some CSS 3 properties):
.wp-caption { background-color: #f3f3f3; border: 1px solid #ddd; -khtml-border-radius: 3px; -moz-border-radius: 3px; -webkit-border-radius: 3px; border-radius: 3px; /* optional rounded corners for browsers that support it */ margin: 10px; padding-top: 4px; text-align: center; } .wp-caption img { border: 0 none; margin: 0; padding: 0; } .wp-caption p.wp-caption-text { font-size: 11px; line-height: 17px; margin: 0; padding: 0 4px 5px; }The following is the result of styling the image description after using the above CSS code:
4. Use PHP’s Flush
to call theflush() function in the theme header , can speed up your WordPress blog. The operation is also very simple. Open header.php in the theme directory and add the following code after </head>:
<?php flush(); ?>
這行代碼只是強制服務器在發(fā)送其他內(nèi)容之前,先發(fā)送你的網(wǎng)站頭(header)。通過使用 flush()
函數(shù),瀏覽器就可以在等待網(wǎng)頁其他內(nèi)容的時候,下載網(wǎng)頁頭中引用的所有樣式表。
5. 在你的主題樣式表中使用CSS簡寫
WordPress主題CSS文件中給網(wǎng)頁的不同部分定義大量的樣式代碼。為了縮小CSS文件的大小,可以使用CSS簡寫方式。一些WordPress主題設(shè)計者為了方便初學者修改樣式而不用CSS簡寫,但如果你是一位經(jīng)驗豐富的CSS編寫者,你可以嘗試用CSS簡寫方式來 寫/重寫 樣式表。
舉個例子,如果你在主題中發(fā)現(xiàn)類似以下的樣式規(guī)則:
.post { padding-top:3px; padding-right:10px; padding-bottom:5px; padding-left:2px; }
你可以將它們縮寫至它們的簡寫形式:
.post { padding: 3px 10px 5px 2px; }
這將有效地減少您的樣式表的大小。兩段代碼實現(xiàn)效果是完全一樣的,但是每一點的優(yōu)化都會使你的WordPress主題更快。
6. 壓縮你的 WordPress 主題文件
以上我們以及通過使用簡寫來優(yōu)化了styles.css,但是可能你的CSS和JavaScript文件仍然不是最精簡的,你可以再次將它們壓縮。通過壓縮,可以去除文件中不必要的內(nèi)容,如空格、制表符、空行等。
要壓縮JavaScript,可以使用在線工具 JavaScript Compressor,在第一個輸入框中輸入js代碼,點擊Compress JavaScript就可以的壓縮后的js的代碼。
要壓縮CSS,可以使用在線工具 CSS Drive Gallery - CSS Compressor,輸入CSS代碼,點擊Compress-it!即可
如果想直接壓縮HTML代碼,那將是特別棘手的,因為主題的代碼標記可能會散布在多個文件中,而且很多HTML和PHP代碼是混合在一起的。不過,也有像W3 Total Cache 這樣的緩存插件,它可以壓縮前端的所有代碼,同時可以執(zhí)行其他優(yōu)化操作,如緩存你的博客文章,以改善網(wǎng)站的速度。
7. 主題安全
保護主題安全的的一個簡單方法,是去除
標簽中輸出的WordPress版本信息。為什么要去除呢?因為有些惡意用戶看到你的WordPress版本后,那他對特定版本的漏洞進行攻擊就簡單多了。要去除版本信息,你需要采取以下兩個步驟。首先,在主題的header.php中查找是否以下類似代碼,如果有的話就將它去除,因為這是用來輸出版本號的:
<meta name="generator" content="WordPress <?php bloginfo(’version’); ?>" />
接著,主題的wp_head()函數(shù)可能還會輸出WordPress版本號,為了不讓它輸出,請在主題目錄下的 functions.php 中添加以下代碼(沒有functions.php就新建一個):
<?php remove_action('wp_head', 'wp_generator'); ?>
8. 隱藏面板登陸錯誤信息
另一種保護你的WordPress的主題的方法是隱藏登錄錯誤。這樣做的原因是,不管什么時候,你輸入正確的用戶名,但是輸入的是錯誤的密碼,那么系統(tǒng)就會提示:"錯誤:密碼不正確。忘記密碼?",這樣就是直接暗示惡意用戶,這個用戶名是正確的,只要不斷地嘗試其他密碼,遲早可以破解處你的登陸密碼。
同樣,當你輸入一個不存在的用戶名是,會出現(xiàn)提示"錯誤:不可用的用戶名",同樣也可以暗示這個用戶名是不可用,再換其他用戶名,這樣又減少了一種可能。
為了不讓這樣的問題發(fā)生,你需要在 functions.php 文件中添加:
add_filter('login_errors', create_function('$a', "return null;"));
這個過濾器可以去除登陸錯誤時出現(xiàn)標準錯誤信息。
9. 替換主題自帶的搜索功能
你下載到的大多數(shù)主題都使用了WordPress核心提供的默認的搜索方法,但是有時候,核心的搜索方法還不如第三方提供的搜索功能強勁,如Google自定義搜索,Yahoo! Search BOSS,Bing API。具體例子,WordPress默認的搜索功能,如果輸入的是作者昵稱,你將搜索不到任何內(nèi)容(除非你將作者昵稱寫到自定義域里面)
另一方面,使用由谷歌,雅虎和微軟的Bing提供的搜索功能將不僅利用他們的搜索專長,而且還可以幫助你減少你的搜索服務器負載。
關(guān)于WordPress添加Google自定義搜索,你可以使用插件Google Custom Search Plugin,如果你想手動添加搜索代碼,你可以自行上網(wǎng)搜索相關(guān)教程。
10. 減少函數(shù)調(diào)用和靜態(tài)內(nèi)容鉤子
因為主題都是要提供給大多數(shù)人用的,所以需要更大的靈活性,為此需要動用大量的函數(shù)和鉤子來滿足這種靈活性。不過,這可能導致較低的性能和網(wǎng)頁的速度,因為每一個頁面生成的時候,它都需要進行多次函數(shù)調(diào)用來呈現(xiàn)網(wǎng)頁。現(xiàn)在你可以嘗試找出不需要的函數(shù)調(diào)用,并注意一下你的博客中那些已成不變的內(nèi)容。
例如,在 header.php中你可能會看到以下類似代碼:
bloginfo('name');
這個函數(shù)輸出的是博客名稱。您的博客的名字大概不會經(jīng)常改變,如果這樣的話,那么你可以使用你的博客名稱直接代替以上代碼,這樣就可以減少一次函數(shù)調(diào)用:
echo '露兜博客';
以下是另外一個例子(同樣在header.php中搜索):
bloginfo('stylesheet_url');
以上代碼輸出主題的CSS樣式文件的URL。因為這樣網(wǎng)址幾乎是一成不變的,你可以將以上代碼替換成主題CSS的URL:
echo 'http://example.com/wp-content/themes/themename/style.css';
?????還有其他類似這樣的函數(shù),他們是造成你的博客速度緩慢的一個原因,尤其是在你沒有使用緩存插件的情況下。

The method to get the current session ID in PHP is to use the session_id() function, but you must call session_start() to successfully obtain it. 1. Call session_start() to start the session; 2. Use session_id() to read the session ID and output a string similar to abc123def456ghi789; 3. If the return is empty, check whether session_start() is missing, whether the user accesses for the first time, or whether the session is destroyed; 4. The session ID can be used for logging, security verification and cross-request communication, but security needs to be paid attention to. Make sure that the session is correctly enabled and the ID can be obtained successfully.

To extract substrings from PHP strings, you can use the substr() function, which is syntax substr(string$string,int$start,?int$length=null), and if the length is not specified, it will be intercepted to the end; when processing multi-byte characters such as Chinese, you should use the mb_substr() function to avoid garbled code; if you need to intercept the string according to a specific separator, you can use exploit() or combine strpos() and substr() to implement it, such as extracting file name extensions or domain names.

In PHP, the most common method is to split the string into an array using the exploit() function. This function divides the string into multiple parts through the specified delimiter and returns an array. The syntax is exploit(separator, string, limit), where separator is the separator, string is the original string, and limit is an optional parameter to control the maximum number of segments. For example $str="apple,banana,orange";$arr=explode(",",$str); The result is ["apple","bana

JavaScript data types are divided into primitive types and reference types. Primitive types include string, number, boolean, null, undefined, and symbol. The values are immutable and copies are copied when assigning values, so they do not affect each other; reference types such as objects, arrays and functions store memory addresses, and variables pointing to the same object will affect each other. Typeof and instanceof can be used to determine types, but pay attention to the historical issues of typeofnull. Understanding these two types of differences can help write more stable and reliable code.

std::chrono is used in C to process time, including obtaining the current time, measuring execution time, operation time point and duration, and formatting analysis time. 1. Use std::chrono::system_clock::now() to obtain the current time, which can be converted into a readable string, but the system clock may not be monotonous; 2. Use std::chrono::steady_clock to measure the execution time to ensure monotony, and convert it into milliseconds, seconds and other units through duration_cast; 3. Time point (time_point) and duration (duration) can be interoperable, but attention should be paid to unit compatibility and clock epoch (epoch)

In PHP, to pass a session variable to another page, the key is to start the session correctly and use the same $_SESSION key name. 1. Before using session variables for each page, it must be called session_start() and placed in the front of the script; 2. Set session variables such as $_SESSION['username']='JohnDoe' on the first page; 3. After calling session_start() on another page, access the variables through the same key name; 4. Make sure that session_start() is called on each page, avoid outputting content in advance, and check that the session storage path on the server is writable; 5. Use ses
