Default Re: Website Performance Tips & Tricks

Tips for increase the site performance
  1. General rule of thumb for hardware upgrades: For PHP scripts, the main bottleneck is the CPU. For static HTML/images, the bottleneck is RAM and the network. According to Compaq benchmarks in 1999 (the original article is lost due to bitrot), a slow 400 Mhz Pentium can saturate a T3 line (that's 45 Mbps) with static HTML pages.
  2. A PHP script will be served at least 2-10 times slower than a static HTML page by Apache. Try to use more static HTML pages and fewer scripts.
