For those of us who have occasionally sighed over the sluggishness of PMwiki.. here's possible good news:
This may be old news for many, but in case not: If you use Firefox and web developer tools (highly recommended) Don't walk but *run* to get yahoo's Fire-bug, ySlow plug-in http://developer.yahoo.com/yslow/ Set to auto run and see if you are getting failures on the gzip flag item. If so, then get gzip running on your server if you can. the speed gain for PMwiki is really, REALLY, huge, especially for pages that are 100% text based) (images are already compressed so you don't see gains there.) see: http://developer.yahoo.com/performance/rules.html#gzip for the full scoop on this. Our server runs Apache 2.0 so mod_deflate was already being loaded *but* and this the biggy: there were no directive to actually tell apached to compress anything... so, you just need to determine that LoadModule deflate_module modules/mod_deflate.so is loaded: it was... so all we had to do was add this one line to the end of httpd.conf and suddenly we are seeing major speed boost across all our domains running off this box AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE text/html text/plain text/xml text/css text/javascript application/x-javascript application/x-httpd-php Check out a page like this which has very few images http://www.himalayanacademy.com/resources/books/ And since we added .css javascript and php to the compressed files, Pmwiki really sings!
