HELLCAT's Realtime Page Compressor

[Hellcat]

This is my version of a realtime page compressor.
The idea is based on ShiningArcanine's port of the "Realtime Template Compressor", that is also based on the original concept by Logician, and can be found in this thread:
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=83248

But since my version doesn't contain any of his original code anymore (even the regular expressions have been rewritten) and I added a bunch of new features I finally decided to release this one as a speperate thing.

Features:
Copmresses the final HTML output sent to the browser by ~10% to ~15%
(see bellow for how this is achived)
Full controll via AdminCP options
(you can turn it ON/OFF and choose if, and how the stats should be displayed - see screenshot)
Stats display can be fully customized via template edit
Areaes with intentional/wanted whitespace are left untouched
(So this does not mess up user inputted text, text in [code] blocks and the such....)
JavaScript blocks are kept intact and functional

What does this exately do?
This plugin strips all unneccesary whitespace, linebreaks and HTML comments out of the final HTML code that vBulletin sends to the browser.
This way the pages get a bit smaller (saving bandwidth) and the browser often renders the pages faster since there's no whitespace it must skip.

Passages that are enclosed by <pre> and <textarea> tags are left untouched completely so text posted in [code], [php] and other bb-tags of that sort are not affected and kept like the user intended them to be.
Passages enclosed in <script> tags are only striped from leading whitspace but not of linebreaks - this way JavaScript (and other) code will remain functional and does not get messed up.


How to install
Couldn't be more easy.
If you have any other page/template complression tool installed -> uninstall it first.

Then go to "AdminCP -> Product Manager -> Add/Import product" and import the .XML you downloaded here.

Now go to the "vBulletin Options" in the AdminCP, under "Help Server Settings and Optimization Options" you will find the "Realtime Page Compressor Options" settings group.
Open the settings, change them to what you want and hit "SAVE"
(It's important that you SAVE the options even when you want to use the defaults! For vB to actually create theese settings in the DB they have to be saved at least once!!!)

Done :)

More details are in the README.


Have fun! :)


UPDATE 1.10
Not a day old and here comes the first update ;)
Added compatibility for the "Any Media BB Code"
Before the Any Media BB Code was screwed up in IE when the compressor was active -> FIXED
Raised compresseion ratio another 1 to 3 percent
"Code comments" (stuff between "/*" and "*/" - used in CSS and JS for example) are now striped as well.

Update 1.20
Added the option to show the stats display to admins only.
Go to "AdminCP -> vBulletin Options -> Real Time Compressor Settings" and you will find the new option there.
Fixed the "uncached template" issue
Tweaked the RegEx' a bit more
But they still need quite some optimization/tweaking :confused:

Update 1.21
Added HTML tag to exclude blocks from compression
Put blocks of HTML source between <nocompress>Your Source</nocompress> tags to have it untouched by the page compression.

Installed 3.5.3 averaging 10% - 15% savings

How easy is editing the templates once compressed?

[Dave-ahfb]

It alters the output, it does not touch pre-rendered templates.

[The Chief]

This is amazing, it goes from 9 - 14 % here...

Good job!!

* The Chief clicks install

It would be awesome if you could try something like this for the vB Drupal extension, like an add-on or something :)

[Snake]

Wow thanks!

[Lizard King]

Working pretty good but you have an uncached template "pagecompressor_stats".

Edit : I cache this template as i always did to other templates but it didn't work. I forget the "s" in the end :p Perfect hack

This works really good, and so simple to install, many thanks for this :)

[Makaveli105]

thank you

[Hellcat]

Glad you like it :)

And there goes the first update already :D
(read release post above for details)

To Upgrade:
Just import the new .XML and be sure to check the "Allow overwrite" option!

:)

I took a quick look at Drupal....
Seems not perfectly integrated, it didn't even use my customized templates from the style I had running :D
And it doesn't fire the vB hooks, so no compression there (yet).

But I might look deeper into this when I get the time.

[Zia]

HOLLY SHIT

How Could I have missed it...Damn To me...

Many thanks & Well wishes to HELLCAT'


Its really amagiz thing....

How to install
----------------

i got allready install Realtime template compressure by ShiningArcanine..

asking again...i must uninstall that? b4 install it?
should both 2 hack compress more?? (may be a fools qus) sorry..but askin..im too curious....

thnx

[99SIVTEC]

it's almost a complete rewrite of vbulletin, thousands of file edits, changed templates, etc. We have lots of commented code in various places while we are in development. the site is almost ready for prime time, then i'll post a link (we launch the first beta tomorrow)

wow man.....

whats ur site????

[Lizard King]

I dont know what you changed in the new version but the new version is way worse then the old one. The compression level is down to 1%

forumhome : [page compression: 87.79 k/89.21 k (1.59%)]
forumdisplay : [page compression: 115.41 k/116.54 k (0.97%)]

im using both 2 hack...

[Output: 60.98 Kb. compressed to 55.97 Kb. by saving 5.01 Kb. (8.22%)]
[page compression: 52.74 k/56.09 k (5.98%)]



result is it.........ummm

what abt using both together? i dont know abt it using both...creating probs or not

want xperts opinion ..

They might interfere with each other, so better only use one at a time, not both simultaniously....

I'm getting almost ~20% on my test install.
Can you take a look at the generated source code and see if there's any comments left or something?
Maybe even send me a copy of that HTML page (the source of it)?

Hellcat, you rock sir. AnyMedia is fixed, and so far I can't find anything that's not as it should be.

* Guest210212002 cheers and mashes the install button with viking-esque fury!

One thing that'd be nice to add is a switch in the ACP for "show to admins only" that would toggle the conditional. I'm a total geek about this stuff and I like to see it all, but my members are mostly saying "What the heck is that stuff down below?" :D

[Zia]

in forum home...only using it

result...is it..
[page compression: 16.06 k/19.15 k (16.16%)]

who is getting the highest compression ??

for sure not the coder himself..hhe he should always get the highest out put

Dear Hellcat

hope not bothering u.....
but asking... this one remove white spcace....
& realtime temp. compressor...compress maybe not remove white space...
can u modify it...bit more........
something similliar two in one....

[XtremeOffroad]

Installed and worked as described Clicks Install.
Thanks Hellcat

[DJ XtAzY]

nice but i like the compression for the first release, the new update one decreases very slightly

its prob because my css is used externally

That could be done.

Not sure if I'm getting you there....
What do you want to be able to turn ON/OFF?
Making striping leading whitespace as option?

That's weird.
Shouldn't have any effect if the CSS are external....
Do you have comments with "[" in it? 'cause those are left allone now to asure AnyMedia will not screwed up.
(I'm trying to do a better RegEx for that anyway....)

I also have my CSS external so i think currently there is a problem.

[99SIVTEC]

the css is posted when the headinclude variable is parsed which should be before this outputs?

[Hellcat]

the css is posted when the headinclude variable is parsed which should be before this outputs?
Yep.
The compressor kicks in when all parsing and HTML building is done, just before the actual output is send to the browser.

I also put the CSS on my test system into external files -> no problem there.
Still getting good results. (around ~13%).


nice but i like the compression for the first release, the new update one decreases very slightly
By looking at the code changes the only explanation I have for this is the comments containing "[" - I'd guess you have some of those.... have you?


@Lizard King
By looking at the source of your pages it looks like they ARE propperly compressed.
There's no whitespace, linebreaks or comments left that are supposed to go.

Maybe only the DISPLAY is of.... :confused:

Could that be caused by vbSEO???
With the 1.00 everthing was fine?

It's getting more and more weird....
But I'm still on it!

I will probably upgrade vbseo today. While the upgrade process , i will disable vbseo and check if the problem is about vbseo but the first version worked pretty good with me. If you still have the first version i may try with it also.

Attached is the previous version:

excellent job :)

[Snatch]

Great Job 7-17%

[Hellcat]

HAAA HAAA
I think I found the reason for the slight drop....
During my last experiments I hit F5 a thousand times (OK, a few times less than 1000 ;)) and with the same page reloading (and no changes to the code in the meantime) the ratio went a bit down and up again.

vB seems to put the one or the other linebreak or comment more into the page's source from time to time.

So, nothin' to worry about a percent drop, it'll come back soon ;)

[klaush]

Great, great, great!!!

Thanks a lot!

[Dennis B]

Great stuff, just waiting for that ACP option to allow only admins to view the results. ;)

[Megareus Rex]

My average savings is ~10%. Thanks for this! Its even easy to configure :)

PS: I was one of the first 10 to click install last night >.>

Hello,

You did a great job. I too have seen a better compression rate over the other version I was running. I average anywhere from %8 - %18 depending on the page. Great work!

thanks alot hellcat ... uninstalled the old one, using yours ...
but the sourcecode is really messed up now (when you try to bugfix wth), great work :)

[puertoblack2003]

great hack but i have uncached template i seen that one other member had the problem but didn't explain how to fix it.. :ermm:

Note:

Uncached templates: pagecompressor_stats (1)

Admened: not for this instruction what tempalte are you referring..: :rolleyes:


If you have choosen the "use HTML-Tag" option for displaying the stats, you have to include a special HTML tag somewhere in one of your templates for the stats to show up.

The tag is: <cmpstat />

[Guest210212002]

thanks alot hellcat ... uninstalled the old one, using yours ...
but the sourcecode is really messed up now (when you try to bugfix wth), great work :)

Haha, I kind of like the compressed source output. Makes it harder for people to swipe your ideas, and you can just disable the plugin if you need to debug something.

[GrendelKhan{TSU]

awesome!!

[Hellcat]

:):):)

Already puzzling on the 1.20 update.
The AdminCP option for only showing the stats to admins is already in and the uncached template is also already chached :)


That's probably the cronimage (link) in the footer rather than an extra comment somewhere.
Yap, that could be it!
Because it sometimes adds an additional line in my (rendered) page - right there where the cronimage is :)
Mystery solved :D

Update time again :)

As usual: import the new .XML with "Allow Overwrite" enabled -> there ya go.

Setting for "Show stats to admin only" is in the AdminCP where the other options are.
If you don't touch that setting it will remain visible for everyone.

By displaying the stats does it put any extra work on the server to do it?

Great plugin Thanks

Works great for the most part, but I've got some ads that just disappear with this enabled. Not sure whether it has issues with javascript or what.

[Hellcat]

No, I doubt the server will really notice if the stats get displayed or not.

JavaScript is kept intact, my GoogleAds are not affected....
Maybe if the ads use HTML comments to determine where they should appear, since those are striped out....

[TNAImpact]

Works great, getting an average of 12%, can't be bad. :) Cheers!

*clicks install*

[nevetS]

Not trying to rain on anyone's parade here, but I have a question.

Doesn't vB support zlib compression out of the box? And wouldn't zlib compression give you this level of compression and more? And wouldn't adding this in addition to zlib compression needlessly increase the server load?

Like I said - not trying to rain on anybody's parade - this seems like a great concept - but I would like an explanation as to why I am wrong if there is one.

I'm not affiliated with this site - and I'm not sure if there's a linking policy here, but you can test the difference in the output by checking your page here: http://www.whatsmyip.org/mod_gzip_test/ it shows the original size, and gzipped size. I'm wondering if anybody who has it installed can report the improved numbers factoring in gzip compression.

I'm just thinking - if your real-world size improvement is closer to 1%, then maybe this isn't as good of an idea. If you aren't using gzip compression, then I expect the results from this plugin would be much more dramatic.

Just some thoughts...

----
This was such an easy install, I thought I'd try it out myself. Here are my results:
Plugin Active: [page compression: 81.58 k/98.58 k (17.24%)]
gzip page reports:
Original Size: 84 K
Gzipped Size: 11 K
Data Savings: 86.9%

With the product disabled:
gzip page reports:
Original Size: 89 K
Gzipped Size: 12 K
Data Savings: 86.52%

I find it strange that the website and the plugin report different page sizes, but it's probably a matter of one of them calculating /1024 versus the other one calculating /1000. The plugin did show improvement, but like I expected, not too much. I don't have an active forum, so I couldn't do this test on a lot of pages. I also have no idea how much this plugin would actually affect server load. Probably not that much, but I imagine it's really a question of webmaster preference as to whether or not this is worth it.

Great plugin though hellcat! And a serious amount of improvement for anyone not using compression already.

[Bounce]

nice one , saving between 10 and 15% depending on the page :squareeyed:

Yes, they use HTML (just an image and link). Any way in a future version to add a tag that tells it to ignore specified areas, or even something I could implement myself now?
I'm going to implement a HTML tag exclusion in the next update.
Then you can just put every block you want to leave untouched by the compression between <nocompress> and </nocompress> tags and the compressor will not touch it :)

Sounds good. I'll definitely reinstall then.

Sounds good. I'll definitely reinstall then.
Since there are no other issues at the moment, there's no need to hold it back -> UPDATED to 1.21 with exclusion support :)

<nocompress>
Some totally
cool HTML

^^^^^^^^ blocks like this (between the "nocompress" tag) are now left alone and not touched/changed by the compressor.

[tgmorris]

blocks like this (between the "nocompress" tag) are now left alone and not touched/changed by the compressor.I'm using this and it's working just fine. Before upgrading to this latest version, does it strip the tags so the resulting code will still validate?

The ZIP of this MOD is updated to the very latest version (1.22) that includes the exclusion and the stripping of the exclusion tags for XHTML compliance.

its now saving ~10% in forum home with 24 query...just asking in future release will it compress more?

anotherthing...i dont know its the perfetc place to ask or not...
any way that this hack will convert/cmopess the quote in reply klikable? :cry:

maybe not right place....tho asking.....

thnx

Well, for the moment it strips away ANYTHING that can be removed safely without breaking the markup of the HTML page.
There are a few more spots where things could get stripped but that would already affect the resulting rendered page (actually that was a bug/problem that got fixed in one of the updates) or at least make it no longer validating as propper XHTML.

So, either we come up with some genius ideas of things that also can be safly removed or (I already thought about this: ) I add some sort of "agressive compression" settings that will cause above mentioned affects.

For now I have no idea how to raise the compression savings....

Hmm, not sure if I'm getting you there.
You want quoted text in a post to be compressed?
For the threadview this is already the case, the edit/reply input box however is left untouched since that would mess up user inputted text....

But maybe I just got you wrong there ;)

Excellent Hack!!! :d

Dear HellCat..
its an off.topic...
saving bandwidth there mite be some more way..like changing some CSS or Gzip
i found a topic in other place.....
(im not spaming)

http://www.buildtolearn.com/tutorial-submission-review/12913-saving-your-bandwidth-must-read.html

There he mention about gzip.php ..i dont know there any Gzip.php file or not.. in vb folder..i searched a bit...didnt get that..
can u please have a Heavenly Think about it like hell?

vBulletin has a build in option for using gzip compression, no need for a gzip.php or such.

Just go to your AdminCP -> vBulletin Settings and enable GZIP.
This will (ZIP) compress the HTML page, then send it to the browser that will uncompress and display the page.
This way you can save quite some bandwidth on your server, indeed.

This adds some more loadon the server (depending on compression level) and not all browsers support it (in that case the compression in skipped).

[Orcun]

Hi Hellcat,

I think it does not compress the comments that are included in themes.
For example,

I have a comment like that,

<!-- [START HACK='vB Pager'

// vB Phrases

and I can still see it in the code. Deleting those lines shall provide better compression. What u say ?

Is there a way to decide what kind of comments should be removed ? To a way to change compression level ?

I cant see it in the AdminCP options. Just 3 there.

[Hellcat]

To make it compatibel with the AnyMedia BBCode the compressor ignores (leaves) HTML comments that contain a square bracket "[".

Removing those from comments will also get that comment removed from the final output.

(Didn't find a better yet to determine if the comment is AnyMedia)

The "//" comments can (and should) be removed as well, yes.
I'll put that one into the next update :)

[Codeman05]

well I guess from a bandwidth perspective this is potentially worthwhile, but not from a page load time standpoint....in my case anyway.

I am showing a 10-15% compression. However, my page load times go from ~.10-.14s with this disabled, and goes to ~.21-.25s with this hack enabled.

Did anyone else notice this? Or is getting improved performance along with the compression?

Good hack in any case, definately not trying to knock that

Working pretty good but you have an uncached template "pagecompressor_stats".

Edit : I cache this template as i always did to other templates but it didn't work. I forget the "s" in the end :p Perfect hack

Hey Lizard, this plugin work well with the geek auto link ?

[BillP]

I'm testing this compressor, and I'm having a very hard time reconciling the statistics generated by the compressor (as shown to me on the bottom of every page) to the real size of the page.

I am using FireFox with the Web Developer Toolbar, which offers a quick summary of the space used on a page.

The document itself (the HTML for that page, less all external data such as images, CSS, etc.) is the only thing that gets compressed, and that's correct, but I am seeing around 10% savings, but the stats consistently say 22% or so savings.

I'll keep staring at the calculations, but I think the stats are not accurate.

I wonder if Firefox is measuring the GZipped output? My server uses gzip everywhere, and the stats are definitely calculated pre-gzip, the difference could be in the exploded/deflated sizes.

I don't see that I'll be able to measure the true bandwidth savings, as 10% on a page is meaningless compared to the images and CSS that go along with it. For example, my forums home page has 9K of data, 46K of images, 1K of style sheets, and 13K of scripts (vbulletin_global.js, for example). The stats say that my page compression was: [page compression: 65.53 k/84.13 k (22.11%)]

If I turn off the page compression, the document increases from 9K to 10K, all other stuff remains the same, so Firefox reports a 71K page.

I just can't reconcile this. Can anyone else see similar results?

[BillP]

OK, to be fair, I loaded some larger pages and the size difference is higher, ~25% I am seeing now.

This has got to be a gzip issue, as the page size changed from 19K down to 6K, but the stats from this product said it was from 162K to 125K.

Hmmmmm.....

[BillP]

Well, it's gotta be something to do with the gzip capabilities of Apache. Firefoxs numbers are way too low. I did a "wget" of the page with HELLCAT's compressor turned off and on, and the real data is 5x what firefox reports.

If you are using Gzip, the real difference is not going to be as big as you would think from looking at these numbers. And you are just trading off CPU utilization in mod_gzip for cpu utilization in Hellcat's compressor.

BUT, the resulting file is smaller at browswer, which is still a good thing.

1%-3%

[Hellcat]

Yep, the problem is with nested HTML comments.

Evidently, you capture the first "-->" to end the comment, so anything else, including the real final "-->" is html-encoded and added to the response stream.

Deleting the internal comment-blocks solved the issue, but it might be something you look at.
I will look at this and make an update! :up:



replace
$output = preg_replace('/>[\s]+</', "> <" ,$output );
with
$output = preg_replace('/>[\s]+</', "><" ,$output );

Only problem here is this WILL break certain spots of your style since intentional spaces are cut out as well!
That's why I added the space, see a few pages earlier. :)

Excellent product, sorry you got bunched into a HotM competition with eBux/eStore, if it weren't for those you'd be taking the crown this month! ;)

[Hellcat]

I edited the RegEx a bit, so nested HTML comments will not be messed up anymore.
However, if you have nested comments the "parent" comment will not be stripped at the moment.

Am I missing something? Is it just the way it work that the purpose of clicking INSTALL button?

It's the authors (in this case me as well.... :nervous: ) who are missing something.
Namely, hitting the "Send Update" button....

I usually reply in my release threads when there's an update, but seeing that not everyone has eMail notification set for the threads I should make more use of the update button as well....

While I haven't gone through the entire thread my guess as to why people are having different compression rates would equal to the amount of coding that needs to be compressed. It's all relative. I'm averaging high 14% with a scale between 11% - 19% (possibly more). On the high at the Calendar "yearly" view I've hit 31.41%. Again, great job. :)

[Deimos]

Quick question

I often copy news from various sites and paste it into the WYSIWYG editor, but for some reason, it removed the spaces between the paragraphs/lines
I assumed it was the compressor, but even after removing it or using the <nocompress> tag, it still did it
Is this a non compressor issue? heh

[hydn]

I removed your hack and install the temple compressor with crashed my forums. I reuploaded the entire forums directory.

Now i reinstalled yours compression is down to 1 - 3 % it use to be more like 10 - 15%

It's still saying about 10% saving but when viewing source the comments are still there..

Does this work for vB 3.6.0 Gold?
I have mod_gzip installed in my server, and its enabled in vBulletin Optins using level 9, more over i am using this hack Plugin Based Template Cache (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=121876)
so does it work with it?

[Robru]

Work good with 3.6.2 :)

[JMH11788]

Same here :up:

[The Chief]

Same here :up:
Good to know :D

[flindersredclaw]

No issues on 3.6.1 and gaining 8 to 15% saving.

Thank you.

[Zachery]

Honestly, apologies to Hellcat, but this is a useless modification, any compression that is done by php should be done in the template conviersion, also anyone using gzip will already be getting these benifits and all this does is increase the load of the server. Gzip/mod_deflate would be prefered over this method.

[Augustino]

How can I include this product, using it in my own templates, What should I include?

How can I implement Gzip/mod_deflate?

People Take Care.

This Modification has destroyed my Style + some Functions of the Forum. I had to replace the whole Style from a Backup.

What happend: In the AdminCP on the Style Edit Page (Header, Footer , etc) Changes hadnt been done for like 30min. After pressing the Save Button to save the Style Edit Page, the Login Window appeared because no changes for a long time (autologout).

After logined the Page gets redirected to save the Style -> Here the Error happens with this Modification: The Whole Style data gets changed to non Line Breaks etc = unreadable.

But: it also saves the eval Data to the Fields. For example if you have a Style Replacement Variable defined, its saves the new Style Data with the Variabels REPLACED.

After this also my PM's only got send with empty Text. New Threads also couldnt be created because vBulletin said they are empty..

So ppl take care of that modification, it could destroy your whole Style + More.

regards

It alters the output, it does not touch pre-rendered templates.

works a treat on 3.6.7PL1 thanks :)

[PlymWS]

3.6.7 PL1

Installed perfectly. This is the kind of product I like :)

[RTFA]

Any body running this on 3.6.8?

[Zachery]

I wouldn't run this at all, its muchb etter to run gzip, it does the same thing.

If I run gzip and goto view source the source is not compressed.

[Zachery]

Yes, while that is true, its like a zip file, the webserver zips the file then sends it to your browser and the browser unzips it.

[boatdesign]

I don't think there's a ton to gain by compressing the html if you're gzipping anyway, but I suspect you do gain a tiny bit; if you're users are rural folks still stuck on 28k dialup, every bit can still make a difference.

[mahmuttunc]

can i use it on 3.6.8

can i use it on 3.6.8

I am running it on 3.6.10 and it is working...

[MissKalunji]

and i tested on Gold

[Zachery]

Like I stated before, realtime compression (done on export) is silly, it would be best to compress this when saving the templates.

[MissKalunji]

there used to be one doing that but the coder never showed up here since i think 2005

[shokmuzik.com]

Try Compress Forum Templates (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=107615), it works with vB 3.7 but is still incompatible with TMS.

[cmedic101]

I'm using this on 3.74 and seems to be working fine getting around 8.5% compression.
It also cut aaround 3.0 seconds off my forum home page load time.

Gzip would do the same and take less resources.

where can i get the 3.8.2 version of this hack?

You don't. you Enable gzip and get the same results.

[Infopro]

You don't. you Enable gzip and get the same results.

We get it. 6 posts to this thread all stating the same thing. Similar posts in the css optimize thread and who knows where else. We get it. You don't like these. You've tested and proven beyond a shadow of a doubt that these things don't work. For you. But you don't show those findings, you just keep spamming other peoples threads with your comments.

Get on with it. Close or delete what you don't like.



BTW, no sign of you over here yet, have at it.

Andrea's addon, from what i looked over, does it once and only once, instead of on each request/pageview. There is a massive huge difference.

[kyrenator]

does this work with vb 3.8?

[MissKalunji]

I think it does but VB does that already so no need on adding this if i remember right

[Darkimmortal]

FYI: this still works in vB4, you just need to disable stats and take out the fetch_template line.

Think I might add functionality based on this to my vB4: SuperCharged mod, if the OP doesn't mind of course.

[Zachery]

Still not something you should do in realtime. If you're going to compress the templates, do it on save.

[Darkimmortal]

4 or 5 regexes on every page load isn't all that intensive :P

[Zachery]

You can't be serious?

But you could do it once, period, and save so many cpu cycles.

[hydn]

We see no noticeable CPU hits with this enabled.

[Zachery]

doing it in real time is a very very very bad idea.
