Can a Novice Fix Parallelize Issues?
-
I was working yesterday on making my WP site quicker (sellingwarnerrobins.com) and after updating the htaccess file to solve some "Leverage Browser Caching" issues I re-ran a scan on Pingdom Tools and am now getting a zero for "Parallelize downloads across hostnames" with a list of 34 items to fix.
I did some web searches and when the articles started talking about cnames, subdomains, and hostname distribution it went beyond my capabilities.
Are these Parallelize "issues" something a novice like myself can easily fix? If so, how?

I find it a little confusing too, I run a mangento store so it might a little different.
My ISP says to create pointer domains on the same server.
Such as:
http://www.mysite.com/
http://images.mysite.com/images/
http://js.mysite.com/js/http://media.mysite.com/media/ -
Thanks for the input Brian. I am afraid of messing something up and being unable to correct it so will do nothing until/if I know what needs to be done (or pay someone to accomplish).
I do want my site to be faster but if this is only going to be a marginal improvement (if at all) I am not sure the increase outweighs the headache/cost.
I am still trying to wrap my brain around this techie "stuff"...way more of the elephant than I can chew at the moment.
BTW...What I failed to mention above is my site is currently hosted at GoDaddy. Not sure if that has any relevance or not.

Can I canonical the same page?
I have a site where I have 500+ Page listing pages and I would like to rel=canonical them to the master page. Example: http://www.example.com//articles?p=18 OR http://www.example.com/articles?p=65 I plan on adding this to the section from of the page template so it goes to all pages - When I do this, I will also add the canonical to the page I am directing the canonical. Is this a bad thing? Or allowed?

How can something be duplicate content of itself?
Just got the new crawl report, and I have a recurring issue that comes back around every month or so, which is that a bunch of pages are reported as duplicate content for themselves. Literally the same URL: http://awesomewidgetworld.com/promotions.shtml is reporting that http://awesomewidgetworld.com/promotions.shtml is both a duplicate title, and duplicate content. Well, I would hope so! It's the same URL! Is this a crawl error? Is it a site error? Has anyone seen this before? Do I need to give more information? P.S. awesomewidgetworld is not the actual site name.

Multiple URLs in CMS - duplicate content issue?
So about a month ago, we finally ported our site over to a content management system called Umbraco. Overall, it's okay, and certainly better than what we had before (i.e. nothing - just static pages). However, I did discover a problem with the URL management within the system. We had a number of pages that existed as follows: sparkenergy.com/state/name However, they exist now within certain folders, like so: sparkenergy.com/about-us/service-map/name So we had an aliasing system set up whereby you could call the URL basically whatever you want, so that allowed us to retain the old URL structure. However, we have found that the alias does not override, but just adds another option to finding a page. Which means the same pages can open under at least two different URLs, such as http://www.sparkenergy.com/state/texas and http://www.sparkenergy.com/about-us/service-map/texas. I've tried pointing to the aliased URL in other parts of the site with the rel canonical tag, without success. How much of a problem is this with respect to duplicate content? Should we bite the bullet, remove the aliased URLs and do 301s to the new folder structure?
