Speeding up WordPress with Google Gears
September 1, 2009
Hi,
As you may know, I am a big WordPress fan and I use it on a few of my ‘killer’ sites. Anyway, I just discovered that the WordPress nerds have used the Google Gears project to speed up the WordPress admin user interface.
What is Gears?
Gears is basically a browser add-on that allows Javascript code to run much faster. To use Gears, you as a programmer, has to build it into your Javascript code (as the WordPress people did ..) and for people to benefit from Gears, it has to be installed into their browsers.
.. You can learn more about this in this video I just created:
You can install Gears (into your web browser) here:

Please note that Gears works with Firefox and Explorer only.
I hope you guys find this useful.
