It displays your homepage loading speed (in seconds) and number of processed queries. **Page loading time** – the progress bar color will be: * *green* if the page load takes less than a second * *orange* when loading the page takes between 1 and 2 seconds * *red* if the page loading takes longer than 2 seconds **Number of executed queries** – the progress bar color will be: * *green* if there were less than 100 queries * *orange* if there were between 100 and 200 queries * *red* if the page required more than 200 queries = Other Notes = * For complete usage instructions visit [Plugin Documentation](http://tiguandesign.com/docs/speed-booster/) * Thanks to [Jason Penney](http://jasonpenney.net/) for Google Libraries feature. * Credits for Lazy Load feature belongs to: WordPress.com VIP team at Automattic, the TechCrunch 2011 Redesign team, and Jake Goldman (10up LLC). * Uses [jQuery.sonar](http://www.artzstudio.com/files/jquery-boston-2010/jquery.sonar/) by Dave Artz (AOL). == Installation == 1.
