The SM2 DB Health Check has been disabled because it is not compatable with joomla 1.5. Reading your article I realize how much I have to learn. I installed joomla with godaddy easy install app so I didn't need to know css but I can see now that I need to learn css among some other things to run a good site.

After trying some of your advices I came to conclusion that the most important factor when it comes to Joomla websites is the hosting. If you have a good hosting you'll have a fast website. Easy as that. After trying some free domains moved myself to Wordpress . Not joomla but fast enough I heard everyone that Joomla is very powerful and fast.

Combining CSS/JS files will HUGELY reduce requests and minifcation etc will reduce their size. In reards to images and speeding up joomla, the optimum method is to use css sprites, as this will mean one request instead of X and all it will take is a a line or two in your css files. Side note I removed your link as it required a password to view; if it comes in the public domain then feel free to re-add it.

Interesting to note that each image is equivalent to 1 HTTP request. Less the image faster the joomla is. CSS code clean up, removal of extra stuff from CSS does help in decreasing HTTP requests.

I took my joomla based site offline and moved my wordpress site to my main domain porting my old articles. Though I have been tinkering with the new joomla 1.5 revision and have got a third part to this planned very soon. Cheers Jeff; This article is actually dated.
