[php] faster loading pages?

[r4myy]

Firstly do not use flush()

Took that off now

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

I have

ob_start("ob_gzhandler"); 

on the top of the page

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

My own

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.

Done

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

So is it faster if i use backgrounds in css instead of <img


I just updated the mysql queries too.. i think there were lots of unnecessary things in there (i think thats where most of the loading was)

Thanks a lot for the help

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?

Private Mesage me or Litewarez the site if you want and I'll let you know more. If you use FireFox you can use an addon called firebug. That will tell you all the files that are used to load a page and all the server request. It also tells you the time takes to download each file and their size. This gives a great indication of what causing the problem on your site as it's show in graph form. example from google below:
