That would take off a bit of the load I guess. People would access the forums directly without going through the front page...bigelectricat wrote:
would creating an RSS feed for forum postings reduce the amount of traffic to the home page? i know i look at the home page to see new posts.
I don't know if you thought about this but I see no sign of it in the html source so here's an idea I had. A different approach of reducing the load on the stats pages is to work on the client side caching. There is no need for the client to get the site from the server unless there really was an update. Let me explain by showing you the very rudimentary source:
Code:
<head> ... <meta name="DATE" content="<?php echo date()?>"> // provide correct date formater string <meta http-equiv="CACHE-CONTROL" content="PRIVATE"> <meta http-equiv="EXPIRES" content="<?php echo estimatedTimeForNextUpdate($PID)?>"> ... </head> <body> [snip]
Sorry if this does not make much sense but I think Chuy understands what I am trying to say.
