If you use the Nginx pagespeed module - as I do on tech-blogger.net and routerzwang.de - you should also keep it up to date. This can save you a lot of troubleshooting. If you already compile Nginx yourself and use the "ngx_pagespeed" module, you not only have to keep Nginx up to date, which has brought HTTP/2 support in the latest versions, but also the [...]

If you want to further optimize the execution speed of PHP scripts, sooner or later you will stumble across HHVM - a just-in-time compiler for PHP. HHVM can be easily installed via the Debian package management. Once this is done, it can basically be used like php5-fpm. I have left all the rest of the configuration within Nginx - this allows good

If you want WordPress to be really fast, at a certain point you won't get any further with standard caching plugins. Nginx with HTTP2 can help. Since version 1.9.5, the open-source version of Nginx also supports the HTTP/2 protocol directly - so tedious configuration or the use of patches is no longer necessary. English Version below The HTTP/2 implementation is running -

HTTP/2 is supported by more and more browsers, but there are still some problems with web servers. A first patch has now been released for Nginx that integrates the new protocol. Of course, this first requires Nginx itself to be compiled. I use the current mainline branch (currently 1.9.4) as a basis, and OpenSSL 1.0.2 must also be installed.

If you use WordPress with mod_pagespeed or ngx_pagespeed and use the combine_css filter, you will notice that nothing happens. What can be done? The reason for the problems: The Pagespeed module does not take into account CSS embeddings that have different IDs. WordPress sets the name of the CSS as the ID for the integration, and in the end it looks like this: link rel='stylesheet'

Anyone who uses Debian and relies on Nginx will sooner or later no longer be able to cope with the integrated modules. The solution: compile Nginx yourself. Last updated on 09.06.2019 What sounds complicated at first is actually quite simple in practice and suitable for everyday use - this blog here runs with a self-compiled version of Nginx 1.11.1.

Nginx is already a very fast web server in itself - but it also offers some interesting functions for caching, which minimizes access to PHP and delivers pages much faster. A short guide. For this blog, I am using the current Nginx mainline version 1.7.0 with ngx_pagespeed modules as a basis. For this I had to compile nginx myself, which

Nginx with PHP5-FPM is already quite fast; if finished pages are saved using Memcached, the loading time can be reduced even further. The implementation is simple. This article is inspired by a guide on 6tech.org and has been transferred to current software versions. The following requirements must be met for the Nginx setup to benefit from Memcached: nginx with PHP5-FPM php5-memcached modules installed

Anyone who uses the Disqus comment system in their blog will have noticed sooner or later that Disqus sometimes causes loading delays. The solution: Lazyload. The basic idea: if a defined point is reached when scrolling through a post, the comments are reloaded. If a reader does not read the entire post, the comments are not loaded at all.

As some of you may have noticed, my blog kadder.de now runs over an encrypted connection (recognizable by the HTTPS symbol in the browser bar). The main reason for this change, which unfortunately costs some time at First Byte Time, was the possibility to offer a connection via SPDY for corresponding browsers (e.g. Chrome). I was also interested in how
