[php] faster loading pages?

[r4myy]

Can someone give me some tips on how to load a page faster

Ive optimized my mysql queries

i added a flush() to the middle of the page to make the page show before its all done loading (not sure if this is a good idea or not)

it works but when it gets to the flush() it kinda stops for a second then continues

any better way of doing this?

What about getting a faster and better host?

If it is an image problem preload all images to client by using a javascript.

Or at least the biggest ones.

Start with optimizing your server and mysql. Maybe there is a problem?

add your own Image site on same domane and let all member us that for post and make sure all site you have link LE on your site are running and have the control of your bord N01 get a monster server

http://eaccelerator.net/ set that on your server

[litewarez]

Firstly do not use flush()

at the top of your site make sure your starting you output_buffer with gzip compression

Take a look at this caching function without gZip.. before printing contents you can use the ZLIB functions like gzcompress http://uk.php.net/manual/en/function.gzcompress.php

Secondly! What system are you actually using, your own or pre made.

Design:
Compress your external files like css / js into one file!, so if you have style.css,reset.css put the rest at the top of style and just load the style.css..

Same with javascript.

Reduce the amount of images you have on your page, thats not css images im talking about <img src.../>

These are just some things you can do, theres more advanced methods such as CatchControlling and so on but the about will get you a little faster

litewarez answer is spot on.
The answers by mrsandvik, bxflow and Lock Down are a last resort. I have no idea why PBI NetWork suggested that.

Ya it can depend on you server but generally it's the script and site that's the problem. Having lots of images is the main killer. Especially large ones. eg using one giant large image as a background is a no-no. The code like html, js and css is rarely the problem unless you have something like a blog and you've added loads of addon's which all work independently and need their own scripts loaded. This is like loading several different sites as they weren't designed together. By combining them together it's like having them as one site again and getting your speed back.


To be honest if you were to give a link to your site most of us would be able to tell you the exact cause of the problem. For all we know it might be loading fine and your internet connection is crap

EDIT if it's a custom script or beta mod their could be an error in the script which is in a constant loop that needs to be fixed. You could try disabling them to see if that's the problem but giving us a link would be a lot easier.
