Reduce Page Loading Times With PHPSpeedy
February 3rd, 2008 • Related • Filed Under
If you run your own website or a blog then this post is for you. PHPSpeedy is a new free script that will make your pages load at blistering speeds, by making fewer HTTP requests, adding a far-future expires header, and gzipping other page elements.
Following Everton’s instructions, I added PHPSpeedy to my site in around 2 minutes, and my pages speeded up instantly. To add PHPSpeedy to your site, do the following:
(Note: backup your index.php file before attempting this. If you are unsure of what you are doing, please don’t try this!)
- Download PHPSpeedy to your blog’s root directory
- Change mod the PHPSpeedy config file to 777 and then go to http://www.yoursite.com/php_speedy to configure PHPSpeedy
- Choose which options you want to use (I left all on as default except for ‘GZIP Page’ as it stopped my homepage loading). Once done PHPSpeedy creates a test page to check that everything is working ok
- If it is, then add the following the code as instructed by PHPSpeedy at the TOP and BOTTOM of your theme’s index.php file
