mod_disk_cache-Super-Fast-Gallery!
by admin on Aug.11, 2008, under Server Blog
I set up mod_disk_cache and mod_cache for Hardcoredreamer.com - specifically for browsing the albums. We were using mod_mem_cache on a server wide level. So far, the performance statistics are breathtakingly amazing. Recent pages are loaded right from the cache with long expiration times so PHP and MySQL are not even bothered. I ran a test of 10,000 connections to the random page in 17 seconds. I may expand this to other sites, but it would need to incorporate mod_expires in the .htaccess files and some other tweaks.
Apache’s guide on caching. The Gallery2 forum page that gave the most tips!
Basically we have 4 levels of caching going on, and the goal is to balance out obsolete pages that disrupt users and the fastest loading time possible!
