Site Speed up

Added On: 07:19 PM 03/Sep/2011 | Added By: MartyniP

You may have noticed the website has sped up, this is because I have enabled an online caching serivce for files such as images and css, which arn't changed often, and when they arn't they dont need to be instant. By excluding the html files in the list of cached areas, I save on having to wait for changes to the PHP files to be re-cached.
This service is called CloudFlare, and although I have not moved my DNS over to them, I still have the options and caching I want from it.

I currently am using the service on the following domains.

  • cache.martynip.co.uk - A fully cached version of hosting.martynip.co.uk, which includes cached versions of all websites on this server.
  • flags.martynip.co.uk - Flag index.
  • img.martynip.co.uk - Image hosting for MartyniP.co.uk and other branches.

I may also shortly be utilising it fully for webtracking.me.uk to cache the whole site, also possible hosting the DNS with CloudFlare, but more updates on that later... :)
