United-Forum CSS Sprites - ludicrous speed - NOW!
Developer Last Online: Feb 2013
tl;dr Makes your forum faster.
Want an easy one-click installation for this addon? . Vote for this jira-entry Add on currently is in beta stage When visiting a website, speed is a very important factor not only for users but crawlers as well. Long loading times are a nuisance since your time is basically wasted during the waiting period. Hence, we are trying everything we can in order to speed up our site. One great way to improve loading times is by the use of css sprites. Unfortunately these are not implemented by vBulletin. We therefore decided to develop our own css-sprite add on for vBulletin boards and want to share this code with the worldwide vBulletin community. Live demo The add on is permanently running in our vBulletin board ( > 2.000.000 posts), take a look:vBulletin performance using css sprites Our tests are based on version 0.7.0. We used the analytic tools firebug network utility and the googlelabs.com page speed sitecss sprites - what are they? The intention behind css sprites is the bundling of many small graphics into one large graphic in order to decrease the number of required http requests. This shortens the loading times of the given website. In addition, the the accumulated size of all small graphics is higher than the size of the sprite due to reasons of compression.What is the gain in using css sprites? Aside from the technical implementation, the question on how much one actually does gain by using css sprites is of the most interest. Obviously they decrease loading times - but how important are small loading times and what is the impact on vBulletin overall loading times?Add on features In the current released beta version 0.7.2, sprites are available for FORUMHOME and FORUMDISPLAY. Coming up next SHOWTHREAD.Installation First of all, if you didnt want to change the templates manually, install the Template Modification System (TMS). Now proceed with the installation:

This addon has no cms support per default. The cms/frontpage will look different for every site so a default version makes no sense. But the addon does offer a hook to manually add icons into the sprite so site owners can use it to manually include their customized homepage.
That aside on forumhome and forumdisplay you can get catch many icons and speed up the site. Though on forumhome you use a modifikation for additional forumicons which we do not support (again you could add those icons manually) but i do not understand why this modifikation is used and not the build in vb4 function to customize the standard icons (which we do support). |
