Performance - supercache - what is it and are there any negative side effects?

Archived Jennifer B. 11 years ago

Hi Guys!


As you know we are getting ready to launch UseResponse on a very high traffic website, so looking for ANY performance enhancements we can use.


Saw "supercache" mentioned in these a couple of posts here in the UseResponse Community. Do you have any documentation on it, or could you provide a description please? what i'm looking for is benefits and ANY warnings I need to know about before enabling it. :-)


I saw it mentioned in these 2 posts: - How to activate supercache- Load TestI will make a separate post about CDN integration, which is a HUGE performance boost.Thanks!Dan

SuperCache option can be switched on/off in configs/application.inc file. It makes the whole home page load from cache instead of only several areas like in simple cache.

You'll notice increase of performance only on home page as it's 3-4 time faster to load only 1 file.

Thought just didn't switch it on by default.

As for CDN, we had jquery loaded in 1.0.2 but removed it as it's better to use minify instead in options and it's more reasonable to provide only 1 file instead of tons of js and css
