Wordpress site performance related
I have a wordpress site and I replaced the home page with static html page with links to the posts in my site. In one section of the site I am loading recent 10 posts. For this I am using a notepad file, where I am storing the recent 10 posts links( In order to minimize database queries )
Will there be any advantage in calling the data from the notepad file, instead of a database query.
Please suggest me some tips to enhance the performance of my site.

Wordpress sites can quickly become pretty slow, especially if you're using a lot of plugins etc.. Fixing this by manually creating static pages seems a bit shortsighted to me, since you're basically throwing the main reason for using a CMS–like system out the window.
It sounds to me like caching should solve your problems just fine. Install and configure e.g. a plugin like WP Super Cache and you server will automatically create, update and serve static HTML for you.
