A) wp_spamfree to keep your blog free from spam and unnecessary overload.

Install Instructions > External link to polepositionmarketing.com

B) wp_SuperCache. It is best for them go into the settings and
configure it the way they like to minimize server load.

Optimize FileZilla

Thursday, December 3rd, 2009

If the performance of your Filezilla is sluggish, getting timeouts, or tired of the pausing due to file exist issues, try the following tips:

set transfers options
- open FileZilla
- on the top menu, select edit
- click on transfers
- set maximum simultaneous connections to 5
You can try 10, but if you have a lot of LARGE files,
too many can cause timeouts.
Set file exists action
- Under transfers on the left navigational pane:
click the file exists action link
- change “Uploads” to the following selection:
overwrite the file if size differs or the source is newer

Those are two very quick options you can try.  Also, make sure you have the latest FileZilla.  Click help, then check for updates.
