Coding suggestions for faster page load, higher rankings

[dave-ha]

@ Parallels: Are you open for a suggestion that would make WPB sites more efficient?

Sample of HTML code of a live site with WPB 12.0.7:

#widget-84d66907-217b-73da-3257-53f639f81592 {box-shadow: none}
#widget-07b1ce6a-929b-f351-21d8-9b10b220aae5 {
    margin: 0 0 0 0;
    padding: 0 0 0 0;
    border-radius: 0 0 0 0;
}
#widget-07b1ce6a-929b-f351-21d8-9b10b220aae5 {box-shadow: none}
#widget-3e4e0437-e16f-deb1-2a37-a6b1ec016994 {
    margin: 0 0 0 0;
    padding: 5px 10px 5px 10px;
    border-radius: 0 0 0 0;
}
#widget-3e4e0437-e16f-deb1-2a37-a6b1ec016994 {box-shadow: none}
#widget-b4cecd6d-a04b-adc1-b676-399ea2de5c09 {
    margin: 0 0 0 0;
    padding: 0 0 0 0;
    border-radius: 0 0 0 0;
}
#widget-b4cecd6d-a04b-adc1-b676-399ea2de5c09 {box-shadow: none}
#widget-7c81c821-338a-e4d6-80e7-7c5b8072ec1f {
    margin: 0 0 0 0;
    padding: 5px 10px 5px 10px;
    border-radius: 0 0 0 0;
}

Could be stripped down to:

#widget-3e4e0437-e16f-deb1-2a37-a6b1ec016994,
#widget-7c81c821-338a-e4d6-80e7-7c5b8072ec1f {
    padding: 5px 10px;
}

Benefits: Less network traffic, faster page load, higher rankings in search engines. Short page load time is a success factor in SEO.

Additionally, WPB seems to create an external stylesheet for every widget which results in overhead traffic due to the many separate HTTP requests. Please make it lean.

Please use W3C's Mobile Checker on some WPB sites to see where the code can be improved: http://validator.w3.org/mobile. Thank you.

I agree with your comments, these sorts of fixes are badly needed, but there doesn't seem to be much activity on the WPB front of late. I note plesk 12.1 is in the works but has anyone sighted any dev work on WPB...
