Awful, just awful.

This is all going to have a huge impact on performance of your website.

forms take all of 10 minutes to make in the first place. Captcha’s are the least user friendly way of checking for spam bots, a programmer will be able to write everything above in less than an hour. Realistically a programmer will already have libraries to include all that.

Feedburner you have to use as it gets traffic. and grabing js from google is good too. Don’t do anything else though.

Offloading content from your web page has a major disadvantage as well. If even one server from which you are receiving content, is down or running slow then your page will not download in user’a browser.

I have used Google Libraries on my websites, sometimes the page does not open just because the website is still fetching script files from Google.

Otherwise your post is great, I appreciate it.

The yahoo search on WordPress.org has never given me relevant search results. I usually end up going straight to google and searching the wordpress.org stuff that way.

I use Google CDN for jQuery on everything and Polldaddy on my site.

Great post btw.

Just found out about Google’s Ajax libraries and they really came it handy on some high-traffic sites. I would definitely add services like flickr, youtube, viddler and others to off-load images and videos. Not only do you save on bandwidth, there’s the possibility of more traffic. Win-win.
