I too have been investigating and have been using Yahoo!'s Yslow tool. My application also uses the YUI compressor from Yahoo! I also concatenate all my CSS.
Initially the application was scoring around F (56). By compressing the JS and concatenating the CSS I can get it to D (69). By adding the following lines to my Apache configuration: <BEGIN> FileETag none LoadModule deflate_module modules/mod_deflate.so AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE text/html text/plain text/xml text/css text/javascript application/x-javascript application/javascript LoadModule expires_module modules/mod_expires.so ExpiresActive On ExpiresByType text/css "access plus 1 month" ExpiresByType text/plain "access plus 1 month" ExpiresByType image/jpeg "access plus 1 month" ExpiresByType image/gif "access plus 1 month" ExpiresByType image/png "access plus 1 month" ExpiresByType text/javascript "access plus 1 month" ExpiresByType application/x-javascript "access plus 1 month" ExpiresByType application/javascript "access plus 1 month" <END> I can get a score of A(98). I don't get full marks as I have too many background CSS images loading at the moment. - Robert -----Original Message----- From: Dennis Fogg [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 07 April 2008 09:54 To: [email protected] Subject: RE: [fw-general] ZF performance advice Ralf Kramer wrote: > > On my development box I have average excecution times between 0.2 and > 0.4.
