Title: Increase your website speed on Apache : .htaccess tweak you could do
Post by: Emmanuel on July 28, 2012, 04:20:32 pm

Here is a little tweak you could add to your .htaccess to increase the website speed - (you can locate the .htaccess text file @ the root folder of your installation. If you cant view it - use your legacy file manager, e.g. cPanel ).

ADD the following code to your installed .htaccess
*** do NOT replace the current .htaccess file ***, ADD the following code at the beginning of it :

Code: [Select]

## EXPIRES CACHING ##
<IfModule mod_expires.c>
ExpiresActive On
ExpiresByType image/gif A2592000
ExpiresByType image/jpeg A2592000
ExpiresByType image/jpg A2592000
ExpiresByType image/png A2592000
ExpiresByType image/x-icon A2592000
ExpiresByType text/css A86400
ExpiresByType text/javascript A86400
ExpiresByType application/x-shockwave-flash A2592000
#
<FilesMatch "\.(gif¦jpe?g¦png¦ico¦css¦js¦swf)$">
Header set Cache-Control "public"
</FilesMatch>
</IfModule>
## EXPIRES CACHING ##

This leverages the cache and increases your site speed.


You can also enable gzip 'ed served content by adding up the following snippet:

Code: [Select]

#Gzip
<ifmodule mod_deflate.c>
AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE text/text text/html text/plain text/xml text/css application/x-javascript application/javascript text/javascript
</ifmodule>
#End Gzip

These instructions tell your server to compresse the specified files, decreasing the size of the transferred chunks, hence improving the loading speed but may also increases the server load. Anyway, always test with the great YSlow extension to determine the gain according to your server config, additional improvements, aso..


P.S.  Tweak the .htaccess only if you know what you are doing. Messing up with .htaccess may crash your site.

One another easy transparent solution that does NOT require any change to the code is to use the Varnish cache.

Varnish Cache is a web application accelerator also known as a caching HTTP reverse proxy. You install it in front of any HTTP server.
Transparent to the PHP application! Cache requests and serve results, bypassing the underlying app. Clever!

If you have SSH access to your server, you can install it:
https://www.varnish-cache.org/

I can tell you for sure that even though many say CloudFlare is the greatest.
I had several catastrophic failures using it. One I tried it and found my site being redirected to
some site asking users to enter information for a loan.
I forget what happened the next time I tried it. Either way it was killing my uptime completely.

WOW!  that's terrible!
Thanks 4 your precious advice. I'm brand new to CloudFlare, just using for a couple of days

Oh, let's forget CloudFlare then
UPDATE: Post relative to CloudFlare deleted


Yesterday, I found we can use the front-end servers of Google to create a free Content Data Network

I'm exploring this solution now and will post back here later

I actually use cloudflare on multiple websites and I notice only positive effect.

"The sites are loading faster".

I never had down times, so I cannot say how it works exactly when one site is down, but I saw it all-ready in action on other famous websites when they were over - visited, the site stayed up, but only few functionalities were not working.

It's really weird actually cloudflare redirecting to some loan page ???

Title: Re: Increase your website speed on Apache : .htaccess tweak you could do
Post by: Emmanuel on October 16, 2012, 02:24:33 pm

Another GREAT option is the


https://developers.google.com/speed/pagespeed/mod

http://www.modpagespeed.com/


Awesome!!!!!!!!!!


P.S.
Installing mod_pagespeed will add the Google repository so your system will automatically keep mod_pagespeed up to date.
But if you don't want/like Google's repository on your dedicated server, just do a
sudo touch /etc/default/mod-pagespeed before installing the package.

Some additional tweaks for .htaccess

1. use PHP 5.3 if you are using 5.2 (usually default on most hosters). For me it is a bit faster.

Code to use in .htaccess on the very top of it (check also with your hoster for the code, maybe it varies from hoster to hoster)

Code: [Select]

# Use PHP 5.3
AddType application/x-httpd-php53 .php
#
2. Use compression in apache www (if your hoster allows it)


Code to use in .htaccess on the very top of it.

Code: [Select]

# BEGIN GZIP
<ifmodule mod_deflate.c>
AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE text/text text/html text/plain text/xml text/css application/x-javascript application/javascript
</ifmodule>
# END GZIP
I hope i helped

.htaccess mod has nothing to do with CloudFlare (http://blog.cloudflare.com/what-is-cloudflare) service.

Posted above is an Apache server directive that basically tells user's browser how long the cached files remains valid (in seconds if I am not mistaken).

Post by: SmaRTeY on January 16, 2014, 11:10:36 pm

It looks to me that your default was already ok.
I am not sure about the subdomains and htaccess, could be that the main one is also auto handled for subdomains but you could copy the htaccess from main to the subdomain(s) root(s).

What I think could be added is the caching of FLV files which, if I am correct, are the videos from YouTube. So if you are using the YouTube plugin you might also want to cache the flv's.

Title: Re: Increase your website speed on Apache : .htaccess tweak you could do
Post by: SmaRTeY on January 17, 2014, 01:44:56 am

Add the expiration for the filetype:
ExpiresByType video/x-flv A2592000

You have to add the extension to the ones already there like this:

<FilesMatch "\.(gif¦jpe?g¦png¦ico¦css¦js¦swf¦FLV)$">

Here's interesting YouTube info regarding file formats to consider:
http://productforums.google.com/forum/#!topic/youtube/09SUZOge91s (http://productforums.google.com/forum/#!topic/youtube/09SUZOge91s)

You could do the same for PDF if you use the printPDF plugin as well but you have to google for the expire def. because i don't know these by head.

Eric

Right, the initial original post (http://forums.osclass.org/installation-update-help/increase-your-website-speed-on-apache-htaccess-tweak-you-could-do/msg31548/#msg31548) was an example to complete:

Right, basically, Add **ALL** the types your web server serves: (sounds...relevant  ;))

e.g. for example, add at the top of the .htaccess :

Code: [Select]

AddType video/ogg .ogv
AddType video/mp4 .mp4
AddType video/webm .webm

----etc---

Add too the expiration for ALL the filetypes your website hosts:

Code: [Select]

ExpiresByType video/x-flv A2592000
ExpiresByType video/x-ogg A2592000
ExpiresByType video/x-mp4 A2592000

----etc---

Yes, you have to add too the extension to the ones already there:
e.g. for example:
<FilesMatch "\.(ico|css|js|jpe?g|png|gif|swf|flv|mp4|webm|ogv|gz|ttf)$">

i.e. INCLUDING FONTS files if you use fancy ones (big files used on EVERY page!)

don't forget this one:  ???

Code: [Select]

<FilesMatch "\.(appcache|crx|css|eot|gif|htc|ico|jpe?g|js|m4a|m4v|manifest|mp4|oex|oga|ogg|ogv|otf|pdf|png|safariextz|svg|svgz|ttf|vcf|webapp|webm|webp|woff|xml|xpi)$">

you want more? yes? Yes!, a long long list of file extensions?
here you are then    :P

Code: [Select]

<FilesMatch "\.(css|js|htc|CSS|JS|HTC|html|htm|rtf|rtx|svg|svgz|txt|xsd|xsl|xml|HTML|HTM|RTF|RTX|SVG|SVGZ|TXT|XSD|XSL|XML|ico|asf|asx|wax|wmv|wmx|avi|bmp|class|divx|doc|docx|eot|exe|gz|gzip|jpg|jpeg|jpe|gif|mdb|mid|midi|mov|qt|mp3|m4a|mp4|m4v|mpeg|mpg|mpe|mpp|otf|odb|odc|odf|odg|odp|ods|odt|ogg|pdf|png|pot|pps|ppt|pptx|ra|ram|svg|svgz|swf|tar|tif|tiff|ttf|ttc|wav|wma|wri|xla|xls|xlsx|xlt|xlw|zip|ASF|ASX|WAX|WMV|WMX|AVI|BMP|CLASS|DIVX|DOC|DOCX|EOT|EXE|GIF|GZ|GZIP|ICO|JPG|JPEG|JPE|MDB|MID|MIDI|MOV|QT|MP3|M4A|MP4|M4V|MPEG|MPG|MPE|MPP|OTF|ODB|ODC|ODF|ODG|ODP|ODS|ODT|OGG|PDF|PNG|POT|PPS|PPT|PPTX|RA|RAM|SVG|SVGZ|SWF|TAR|TIF|TIFF|TTF|TTC|WAV|WMA|WRI|XLA|XLS|XLSX|XLT|XLW|ZIP)$">

As per Configure cache on Osclas (https://doc.osclass.org/Configure_cache_on_Osclass)s , they are 2 cache solutions available

Any benchmarks or tests regarding APC/PCu  vs  MEMCACHE ?

faster vs smaller memory footprint?


Thanks in advance for your links or results of tests/benchmarks

This leverages the cache and increases your site speed.


You can also enable gzip 'ed served content by adding up the following snippet:

Code: [Select]

#Gzip
<ifmodule mod_deflate.c>
AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE text/text text/html text/plain text/xml text/css application/x-javascript application/javascript text/javascript
</ifmodule>
#End Gzip

These instructions tell your server to compresse the specified files, decreasing the size of the transferred chunks, hence improving the loading speed but may also increases the server load. Anyway, always test with the great YSlow extension to determine the gain according to your server config, additional improvements, aso..


P.S.  Tweak the .htaccess only if you know what you are doing. Messing up with .htaccess may crash your site.

Any benchmarks or tests regarding APC/PCu  vs  MEMCACHE ?
Emmanuel

I use APCu with Opcache with php7 and it seems to run quite well. For Memcache (which is not in such active development as Memcached - note the D in the end), i gave up after trying a bit as the docs in osclass use the terms memcache/memcached interchangebly which is quite confusing.

I wanted to use Memcached, as it is more stable and in active development, but well i use APCu now and it works great.

Here is a little tweak you could add to your .htaccess to increase the website speed - (you can locate the .htaccess text file @ the root folder of your installation. If you cant view it - use your legacy file manager, e.g. cPanel ).

ADD the following code to your installed .htaccess
*** do NOT replace the current .htaccess file ***, ADD the following code at the beginning of it :

Code: [Select]

## EXPIRES CACHING ##
<IfModule mod_expires.c>
ExpiresActive On
ExpiresByType image/gif A2592000
ExpiresByType image/jpeg A2592000
ExpiresByType image/jpg A2592000
ExpiresByType image/png A2592000
ExpiresByType image/x-icon A2592000
ExpiresByType text/css A86400
ExpiresByType text/javascript A86400
ExpiresByType application/x-shockwave-flash A2592000
#
<FilesMatch "\.(gif¦jpe?g¦png¦ico¦css¦js¦swf)$">
Header set Cache-Control "public"
</FilesMatch>
</IfModule>
## EXPIRES CACHING ##

This leverages the cache and increases your site speed.

Code: [Select]

#Gzip
<ifmodule mod_deflate.c>
AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE text/text text/html text/plain text/xml text/css application/x-javascript application/javascript text/javascript

Hi,

There are so many different codes for optimisation so can we use this code along with other leverages the cache code?  Below is the .htaccess code i am using right now please suggest me if everything is Ok. I am facing low site speed issue. there is the repete codes also so tell me which is best. I checked with Google speed test tool here

The higher that number is the more speed loss you might experience with logins and possibly publishing of ads

so i define as you guided and kept the number 30 lowest for fast speed. Below are the last 3 lines. Please check if everything is fine. Or suggest me if any mistake there. What would be best number for ideal and fast speed

Hi,  I just checked my config.php and found that there was nothing like (define('BCRYPT_COST', xx);)
so i define as you guided and kept the number 30 lowest for fast speed. But after that login keeps loading and loading. But do not load. Below are the last 3 lines. Please check if everything is fine. Or suggest me if any mistake there. What would be best number for ideal and fast speed. Also tell me what   define('REL_WEB_URL', '/');
 stand for and what we need to put between '/' place

--------------------------------------------

define('REL_WEB_URL', '/');

define('BCRYPT_COST', '30');

define('WEB_PATH', 'https://www.postfreeonline.com/');
?>

How's your config.php with regard to bcrypt value? (define('BCRYPT_COST', xx);)
The higher that number is the more speed loss you might experience with logins and possibly publishing of ads

Try replacing '30' with '10'

And make sure you empty all browser cache before trying new setting

After login to Admin panel I found this error log
