Not only does your upgraded WP install come with security patches it also comes with better optimised code.\nNot all the time but from time to time a few releases will have small and simple tweaks to the code to help imporve the speed of your website.\n\n
Optimise you code.\nIf you can avoid PHP calls and extra MySQL calls then do so. \nOptimise your code to help reduce CPU and memory loads.\nWidgets that are plain text or HTML based should just be placed in the template.\n\n
