I'm not familiar with Joomla, but you should be figuring out how to get serverside caching enabled. Looks like they have their own implementation, so you probably don't need an extension.
If you aren't familiar with the code found on this page, you should probably hire someone qualified to do it.

thanks for this. what would you say is the problem with the site. i cannot use the cdn network, tried with amazon and it made no difference to my site and it worked out it was costing me time. i use joomla 1.5 and have tried adding a expires header. Add an Expires or a Cache-Control Header on my joomla site i have this set - GZIP Page Compression not really experienced so not sure if i have - Put Stylesheets at the Top or if i have this - Put Scripts at the Bottom these are the things that the following page which was recommended by tommy http://developer.yahoo.com/performance/rules.html any help and advice would be great as i do not really fancy paying out even more money

An increase in monthly payment that high, for 2 gigs of RAM? Ouch.
To answer your question: yes better hardware always means better performance. But often the problem is with code or lack of optimization. Google Chrome has a great developer tool (Press F12!) that has a Network tab that logs requests and the time it took to serve them up. This can help troubleshoot some performance issues. Now switch to the Audits tab -- you'll get some more helpful tips to speed up your load time.
Also make sure you have some form of serverside caching enabled. Even the slowest of all servers can serve up a page in under a second with proper caching and a method of priming the cache.

Hi Diane!
Upgrading your server will help you a few steps, but, if you want to get big improvements you better take a look at these recommendations:

Good luck!

Hi Diane
How big is your site? I've seen it and doesn't seem like its 100,000s of pages.
What's weird is, just connecting to the site was slow for me today, but the downloading speed of the bones was acceptable. Why don't you speak with TMD before upgrading? There may be no need to pay more, might be some other issue.

Address On Every page for e-Commerce site?
For a primarily e-commerce site, should you have your address on every page (in the footer, for example)? Or is it enough to just have it on the contact page? Thanks, Ruben

Best way to indicate multiple Lang/Locales for a site in the sitemap
So here is a question that may be obvious but wondering if there is some nuance here that I may be missing. Question: Consider an ecommerce site that has multiple sites around the world but are all variations of the same thing just in different languages. Now lets say some of these exist on just a normal .com page while others exist on different ccTLD's. When you build out the XML Sitemap for these sites, especially the ones on the other ccTLD's, we want to ensure that using <loc>http://www.example.co.uk/en_GB/"</loc> <xhtml:link<br>rel="alternate"
Web Design | | DRSearchEngOpt
hreflang="en-AU"
href="http://www.example.com.AU/en_AU/"
/>
<xhtml:link<br>rel="alternate"
hreflang="en-NZ"
href="http://www.example.co.NZ/en_NZ/"
/> Would be the correct way of doing this. I know I have to change this for each different ccTLD but it just looks weird when you start putting about 10-15 different language locale variations as alternate links. I guess I am just looking for a bit of re-affirmation I am doing this right.</xhtml:link<br></xhtml:link<br> Thanks!0 -

How does a Responsive Site kill SEO?
How does a Responsive Site poentially kill SEO? I've seen a few feeds on twitter how a website took a rankings dive after implementing a Responsive theme; yet, it's not clear to me what is actually going on within a Responsive site that would cause the SEO rank to tank? I can only speculate that it introduces a bunch of 404 errors, or that it changes all of the URLs into gibberish, so you loose all of the links coming into your website if not 301'ed? Can someone clarify, what are the actual mechanical issues on a Responsive website that becomes a concern to SEO? Thanks.

Hi Everybody. I have a large site that is made up of the main site then a large support site. The support site has a lot of overlapping content and similar titles. Would it be beneficial to separate the two? Thank you. All answers appreciated.

Recommendation for a company to make a site more mobile friendly?
Hiya, We have a client who uses us for SEO, and a separate company for web development. They have a fairly large site on a bespoke CMS. They're happy with the site, but the user experience on mobile devices is not right. Can anybody recommend a company specializing in that area? Preferably a UK company but not essential. Thanks 🙂
