My forum went from a 66/100 to a 70/100 after using this.

After some .htaccess work, I've got it up to an 80/100, going to try to see if I can get 100/100 :D


Edit: 90/100 is probably as high as I'm going to go until I can see what the dev's have planned for optimization in their releases following gold.

I might have a go at tackling "Optimise images", "Specify image dimensions" and some of "Use efficient CSS selectors" in a later release :)

But for now I'm focused on getting fully deferred Javascript.

And I suppose "Parallelise downloads across hostnames" could be done fairly easily with some extra subdomains pointing at the root, along with some code to distribute downloads across them.



I dunno about 100/100, but ticks across the board in the Page Speed Firebug addon is good enough for me :)

Hello,
nice add-on you have here, indeed. :)

Did I just over-read it or didn't you mention that the PHP / Webserver needs write access to "/clientscript/vbsc.js" and "/clientscript/vbsc.js.gz"? Took me some time to find that out. Could be added to the first post. :)

That'll have to be done at the server level, I'm not sure any script or modification can handle it.

I setup mine last night in about 6 minutes. I made. Then in the image paths for StyleVars i just entered the full path (http://images1.site.com) and everything appears to be working.

images1.site.com (statusicons)
images2.site.com (gradients)
images3.site.com (site_icons)
images4.site.com (misc)
images5.site.com (images)
clientscript.site.com (clientscript)

Then I modified the headinclude template to point the clientscript call to http://clientscript.site.com/blahblah.js?V=whatever

Here is a quick guide on Setting up parallel hostnames for vBulletin optimization & vBulletin 4 optimized .htaccess for vBulletin optimization

There seems to be a bug with this mod and CMS sections.

When it's enabled the sections on the CMS don't appear.

When it's disabled, the CMS sections appear just fine.

Can you give me a link to your site where that is happening?

Yeah

http://apertureforums.com

It's currently disabled, but I'll enable it for a while so you can see it in action.

I was able to reproduce the sections bug - it will be fixed in 0.7, which I'm holding off on releasing until after gold. :)

this is today...not? :D

Yeah just give me a sec to install gold on my board to test things out :P
