Faster Board view

[mahakala]

Add a new Plugin with the following parameters to display the most pages much faster (NEEDS SEO or vbSEO or code changes*):

Product: vBulletin
Hook: parse_templates
Title: Flusher
PHP-Code:

if (headers_sent()) {
ob_start();
ob_implicit_flush(1);
flush();
ob_flush();
}
else if (preg_match("/ebdl|image|do=|dateline/i",$_ENV['REQUEST_URI']) || isset($_ENV['QUERY_STRING']) || isset($_POST)) { }
else {
ob_start();
ob_implicit_flush(1);
flush();
ob_flush();
}
That's all. Hope you could need it.

*The main problem with this hack is, that all headers must be send or errors occure (headers already send...). I use vbSEO, so i could figure out (querystring) when there are probably header changes. For nonSEO try the headers_send()-version and see, what happens.
Maybe someone has a better solution ;)

[mahakala]

What exactly does this do?

[mahakala]

it faster flushes out the content, so page is faster displayed. see php.net/flush

Thanks for the plugin.

Ok, this really improved speed in my board. O_o
Thanks a lot, waiting for more of your mods =)

I'm not a coder, so how does exactly this work?

BTW. I'm using vB 3.8.0

nice to read :):cool::D

easyly said: normaly the board parses internaly (serverside) the code and then put it out to the browser. this little hack now tells the board to put out (flush) the code while still calculating. (sorry my bad english)

I'm gonna try it, let's see how it goes.

Edit: Tested and it really makes page views faster.

[sensimilla]

Seem its really working. Anyway it does no harm :) Thanks . Installed.

To explain this easier,usually when you load a website,the server waits till the whole website is loaded and then it displays it to the user,but using flush (); , it will be displayed part by part so it appears faster.

Hi Ziki, it makes sense but why he says this is specially for SEO users ?

My question may sound stupid but just trying to get the connection between flush() and SEO.

Tks
