alexsc Posted February 12, 2005 Share Posted February 12, 2005 My site is really slow for some reason. Does anyone know why this is? www.x-mods.co.nz "If we don't succeed, we run the risk of failure." ...George W. Bush Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexsc Posted February 12, 2005 Author Share Posted February 12, 2005 wow just disabled GZIP compression and the page loads in 7 seconds now instead of 15. However are there any more ways to easily improve the loading speed? "If we don't succeed, we run the risk of failure." ...George W. Bush Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daemonj Posted February 12, 2005 Share Posted February 12, 2005 GZip compression should be enabled but at a setting of 1. In addition, Show Category Counts should be disabled. Those two items are probably the biggest performance boosters / killers. Next you could enable cacheing but that is typically only good when you have a lot of categories. Besure that logging is disabled too. You also have a typo on your front page text in the downtime notification. "Great spirits have always found violent opposition from mediocre minds.

tobycatlin Posted March 1, 2005 Share Posted March 1, 2005 on a totally different note, i would never ever release a site with the original clip art still there. I think it lets down a site which has obviously had a lot of work put into it. If yo have time i would also update the stock buttons, you would be amazed at how much difference it makes. take a look in the extra/button_template for a photoshop file I ain't got time to bleed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 1, 2005 Share Posted March 1, 2005 Could you please let me know why a setting of 1 for gzip compression is the best to use...just curious. jfp <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Because you will not get significantly more compression and it is less server intensive.
