Optimization Tweaks?

Joe Ward mentioned some optimization tweaks in this post:

Server performance impact...

Are these tweaks outlined anywhere for customers?

I moved my rules to the apache conf file (instead of htaccess) and disabled AllowOverride, and it has helped some.

Here are several options that may help to add extra efficiency for your vBSEO installation:

*** Move rewrite rules from .htaccess to httpd.conf ***

For users with dedicated servers, the vBSEO rewrite rules applied in the .htaccess files can be moved directly into the httpd.conf file for more efficient performance.



*** [forum_id] in URL formats ***

If your CRU format includes only [forum_title], 1 additional database query will be executed. To eliminate this query, simply be sure to include [forum_id] in the CRU format.

Related vbseocp.php options:

- General Options-> Define Forum Path Title Bits
- Forum URLs -> Forum URL Format
- Forum URLs -> Forum Index Page URL Format
- Announcement URLs -> Individual Announcement URL Format
- Announcement URLs -> Multiple Announcements URL Format
- Thread URLs -> Multiple Page Thread URL Format
- Thread URLs -> 'Last Post in Thread' Redirect URL Format

- Poll URLs -> Poll URL Format
- Nav Bullet (Tree Icon) Image URLs -> Forum Nav Bullet Image URLs
- Nav Bullet (Tree Icon) Image URLs -> Thread Nav Bullet Image URLs
- Attachment URLs -> Attachment URLs Format



*** [user_id] in Member Profile/Avatar URL formats OR Disable them ***

Include [user_id] in your Member Profile and Avatar URL formats.

Related vbseocp.php options:

- Member's Profile URLs -> Member Profile URL Format
- Custom Avatar Image URLs -> Custom Avatar URL Format

Optionally, rewriting member profile pages and avatars can be disabled.



*** Disable "Replace 'Previous/Next Thread' redirect links?" feature. ***

This option replaces the 'Next Thread' and 'Previous Thread' links with direct, content relevant links. Disabling it will save two database queries per thread page.

Related vbseocp.php options:

- Direct Links -> Replace 'Previous/Next Thread' redirect links?


*** Disable rewriting for attachments/tree icon images ***

Optionally, rewriting attachment and tree icon image URLs can be disabled.

Related vbseocp.php options:

- Nav Bullet (Tree Icon) Image URLs -> Rewrite Nav Bullet Image URLs?
- Attachment URLs -> Rewrite Attachment URLs?


*** Disable "Add Thread Titles" features ***

These features are available in vBulletion version 3.5x or greater. Optionally, you may disable them.

Related vbseocp.php options:

- Add Thread Titles -> Add Thread Titles to Showthread Links Anchor Text?
- Add Thread Titles -> Add Thread Titles to Showpost Links Anchor Text?


*** Disable features with outgoing network connections. ***

Various features have outgoing network connections. To reduce or eliminate these requests, you can disable the following vbseocp.php features:

- Outgoing LinkBacks -> Update Services

- Outgoing LinkBacks -> Enable Outgoing Pingbacks
- Outgoing LinkBacks -> Enable Outgoing Trackbacks

- Add Titles to External Links -> Add Page Titles to External Links Anchor Text?


*** IonCube vs. Zend ***

You may consider trying both the Zend and IonCube versions of vBSEO to determine if there is a performance variation. In some limited test cases, the server environment showed improved performance while of one over the other.

I'm not understanding this very well. Where are all these settings at? I don't see hardly any of then in the vb-seo cp. I would like to keep my vB Seo but it has really brought my site to a crawl, I have been trying to figure out what was slowing my site so much and after I turned this off, my site was back to normal.

Go to your vBSEO control panel

Code:

http://www.yourdomain.com/forum/vbseocp.php

Replacing the your domain and path to your forums.

Yea I know that much The way I see it is these are suppose to be anchor links to certain ares of that page right?

Also are we suppose to disable everything? I mean what's the point of even having the sw if you have to disable half the stuff to get the thing to give your server some relief?

*** Disable features with outgoing network connections. ***

- Outgoing LinkBacks -> Update Services

- Outgoing LinkBacks -> Enable Outgoing Pingbacks
- Outgoing LinkBacks -> Enable Outgoing Trackbacks

- Add Titles to External Links -> Add Page Titles to External Links Anchor Text?

I don't see all them links.

Click on URL Rewrite options.

Then click on the + at the bottom of it. Where it says advanced settings.

OK for example

*** [forum_id] in URL formats ***

If your CRU format includes only [forum_title], 1 additional database query will be executed. To eliminate this query, simply be sure to include [forum_id] in the CRU format.

- Announcement URLs -> Individual Announcement URL Format
- Announcement URLs -> Multiple Announcements URL Format

I found this area but what do I do?

You should enter a custom URL format including forum_id then, for instance for "Forum URL Format" it may be:
[forum_title]-[forum_id]/

Hello,

Is moving rewrite rules from .htaccess to httpd.conf will be enugh rather than change options?

hi there
i disable avators,attachment and linkbacks but still getting high server load

so how can we move vBSEO rewrite rules to httpd.conf?

Anyone experiencing load issues with vBSEO 3.0.0 or a previous version, please pm me for an updated vBSEO version (currently being tested by our pre-release team) that will most likely resolve your performance issues.

PLEASE, do not de-activate *any* of vBSEO's functionality in an attempt to decrease your load. These changes often provide minimal performance improvements while I'm positive the new vBSEO will resolve this issue for 99% of users who experienced performance problems before.

Cheers
