remove ads
use gzip compression
use external css files

[subzero]

No sql, No exec files

No other users

Buy a Virtual private server or go big Dedicated Servers

Never think share hosting will always fast .......

Also fix errors

How to enable gzip compression with Php.
Enabling Gzip Compression

In many forums and on many webpages it has been widely proclaimed that to enable gzip compression using php is as easy as adding a single line of code at the beginning of each page. This is not false, however it is not the best way of doing it. Before continuing, here's the code. It takes advantage of Php's buffered output and buffers all output of the script until the Php engine has completed, and then runs all the output through a special function that gzip compresses it before sending it on to the browser.

Here is the code. Just place this at the very top of all your Php pages and it will send gzip-compressed output to the browsers.

<?php
    ob_start("ob_gzhandler");
?>

This method is dependant on the Apache server and in addition, the mod_gzip module must be installed and loaded.
Other Methods to Enable Gzip Compression

The method mentioned above is quick and easy, but the downfalls are that it only works on Apache with mod_gzip. Not only that, but according to the Php manual, that is not the preferred method for gzipping.
(From the Php manual at PHP: Hypertext Preprocessor)
note that using zlib.output_compression is preferred over ob_gzhandler().
Another method of gzipping is as follows:

<?php


// Include this function on your pages
function print_gzipped_page() {

    global $HTTP_ACCEPT_ENCODING;
    if( headers_sent() ){
        $encoding = false;
    }elseif( strpos($HTTP_ACCEPT_ENCODING, 'x-gzip') !== false ){
        $encoding = 'x-gzip';
    }elseif( strpos($HTTP_ACCEPT_ENCODING,'gzip') !== false ){
        $encoding = 'gzip';
    }else{
        $encoding = false;
    }

    if( $encoding ){
        $contents = ob_get_contents();
        ob_end_clean();
        header('Content-Encoding: '.$encoding);
        print("\x1f\x8b\x08\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00");
        $size = strlen($contents);
        $contents = gzcompress($contents, 9);
        $contents = substr($contents, 0, $size);
        print($contents);
        exit();
    }else{
        ob_end_flush();
        exit();
    }
}

// At the beginning of each page call these two functions
ob_start();
ob_implicit_flush(0);

// Then do everything you want to do on the page
echo 'Hello World';

// Call this function to output everything as gzipped content.
print_gzipped_page();


?>

Upload this and use this
1. at the top of your pages

<?php
require_once"./gzip.php";

2. at the bottom of your pages

require_once"./gzip_foot.php";
?> 

You are Done

wont it work if u add it to the core or config

wont it work if u add it to the core or config

If you add this on your pages, it will work. Try now.
It works for me without any errors.

Caching database-driven PHP pages is an excellent idea to improve the load and performance of your script. It’s really not all that difficult to create and retrieve static files of content with the help of our good friend ob_start().

// TOP of your script  
$cachefile = 'cache/'.basename($_SERVER['SCRIPT_URI']);  
$cachetime = 120 * 60; // 2 hours  
// Serve from the cache if it is younger than $cachetime  
if (file_exists($cachefile) && (time() - $cachetime < filemtime($cachefile))) {  
include($cachefile);  
echo "<!-- Cached ".date('jS F Y H:i', filemtime($cachefile))." -->";  
exit;  
}  
ob_start(); // start the output buffer  
// Your normal PHP script and HTML content here  
// BOTTOM of your script  
$fp = fopen($cachefile, 'w'); // open the cache file for writing  
fwrite($fp, ob_get_contents()); // save the contents of output buffer to the file  
fclose($fp); // close the file  
ob_end_flush(); // Send the output to the browser

yeah......I used It for one of my client pages. It Works faster And its not needed any xtra handler from server side.
But I surprised to see that its not work faster for php-wml.:O

[crazybrumi]

basic is only use php when needed as this is the most server consuming proccess. only connect to the server when needed ie if your going to look up a query bladi blah otherwise just stik to plain html as the browser will do all the work then not the server.

Send me your data base users tables and i will make you a cool script for you to use so your site will run 10% faster and cleaner that is a hope it does but lets try it ..

Names not the sql ok

like

ibf_users
ibf_posts

type all down for me then i will do this simple code for you to use with corn

1. One good thing your could do would be to use PHP Data Objects (PDO) to interface with MySQL; The php mysql_ functions over 6+ years out of date. PDO is Cross Database meaning you could use different related databases: Cubrid, Microosoft SQL, Firebird, Interbase, IBM, Informix, MySQL, Oracle, ODCB, 4D, SQL-Lite, PostgreSQL using the built in drivers. It also Provides Extra SQL Injection Prevention. Caches frequently used queries that can be re-used without being recompiled by the processor.

2. Limiting the number of Queries that your script needs to do could be another way to speed up page execution time. If there are sections of your script that use multiple MySQL Selects to the same table why not select if all at once.

3. You might also consider caching information that does not change very often. For example User Settings and Profile Information should only need refreshing if the users updates them. You should only need to select this once then update and refres on a new login or profile update.

4. Move your site to a Dedicated Server this way you have your own dedicated space. The more popular your site gets the more it will slow down; This is because more server resources are being used up by other users on the same server your are being hosted on. When you go dedicated there are no other users. This gives you Dedicated RAM, Bandwidth, Space and you can use the resources that you require. There are a lot more advantages to dedicated hosting but that is another discussion.

5. Moving your site to a Virtual Private Server (VPS) this is usually a partion of a dedicated server. You can do pretty much what you can do with a dedicated server but prices can be a lot cheaper.

6. Use of bitwise to store on and off settings (32 settings for each and every digit), Remove un-needed stuff from the database tables. Only use PHP if it is needed. Output Buffering (Can also be stacked), Caching systems, Gzip Compression, Load Balancing, Optimization of Site Graphics, CSS and HTML Markup Validation and optimisation/compression.

Pdo is not a database. Its a layer to interact with the database.

Thanks... I already knew that . That was written when i was tired i have corrected a couple of mistakes.
