faster page loads – 75%

Average Reading Time: less than a minute.

“…the documents on this site are now served gzip compressed (at sizes reduced as much as 75%) to browsers which can handle such data, which I believe is most…”
This is down to calling mod_gzip. Bloody Hell. Quick snippet of php at top of each template and well, you can see how much faster the page loads. Textism is full of good bits, like the referrer log thing that took 5 minutes to install. Next on list, google highlighting. This significantly reduces my ooomph to redesign the bits of code that I know I could fix with a bit of effort :-) UPDATE: Hmmm, it’s definitely faster, but you get zero content while the browser negotiates and boom! all at once…not sure if I would like a slower, but reassuring trickle of content…
