Optimizing your web application
written 868 days agoSo you’ve got your web application up and running. Maybe you’re using POG for all your database abstraction needs, maybe not. But you want to optimize your entire application/website and make it snappier and more responsive. Here are a few things that we’ve done ourselves and definitely recommend:
1. First and foremost, if you’re not using POG as a database abstraction tool, you should. Here’s why. We’ve optimized the hell out of POG and released version 3 a few months ago and it’s the fastest thing we’ve ever seen in its category.
2. Use HTTP compression (aka gzip) on your server. If you’re running Apache as your server, you’ll need to enable/install mod_gzip. You do need root access if you want to do it manually. Else try contacting your host provider and ask that they enable it for you. This should speed up the loading of pages significantly.

3. Use an opcode cache. We use XCache and we love it. XCache essentially caches all the POG classes in memory, so that each time a method is called, PHP doesn’t have to interpret the code again and again.
These 3 steps can dramatically boost your application speed. Give them a try, and let us know if you find that it helps, or if you know of any other ways.

This is a weblog about the Php Object Generator (POG) project, OO PHP, databases and Php code generators in general.
Php Object Generator, (POG) is an open source PHP code generator which automatically generates clean & tested Object Oriented code for your PHP4/PHP5 application.
