Impressive improvement. If you could really do that on cheap shared hosting that would be surprising. I had a shared hosting package which was very fast (a lot else wrong with it though). That was because there were very few sites on the server. One problem with shared hosting seems to be that at times the disk IO gets excessive. And in my experience the performance varies a lot on shared hosting presumably owing to what other use the server is getting. The other difficulty is that you really need the site to be quick for users who are logged in.

Wow, pretty good! We've shaved off almost three seconds from the load time and decreased page size by 300 MB.

Perhaps 300KB?

Thank you for a very insightful article! That said, the whole commenting on another website thing is definitely awkward, you're not doing this to improve performance on your website are you? :P
