vB4 SuperCharged - Optimises CSS, Javascript and HTML
Developer Last Online: Oct 2021
This is designed for vBulletin 4.0.x only.
DO NOT INSTALL on vB 4.1.x or 4.2.x. Even if it worked correctly, the effect is negligible as vB4 is nowhere near as terrible client-side speed-wise as it once was. DO NOT ask for fixes, they will not come, I have moved to XenForo. __________________________________________________ ______________ tl;dr - Significant frontend speed improvements for vBulletin 4 Don't forget to Mark as Installed if you use this mod, and a nomination for MOTM would be nice __________________________________________________ ______________ Features: CSS Optimiser: Minifies all CSS files and serves CSS directly, eliminating the PHP overhead from css.php. Javascript Optimiser: Intelligently defers Javascript loading (puts script tags just before </body> on the fly) and combines common Javascript files. Also features optional compression with Google Closure Compiler. HTML Optimiser: Based on HELLCAT's Realtime Page Compressor, and adds complete whitespace removal around block and meta elements and removal of unimportant comments. Attachment Optimiser: Intended for FastCGI users only - serves attachment thumbnails and images directly rather than through PHP. All this is done efficiently and on-the-fly - no need for any template edits. __________________________________________________ ______________ Installation:

Changelog: 1.51:
ONLY if you wish to use the Attachment Optimiser, something similar to this is needed in your server config (nginx): Code:
location /customattachments { if ($request_uri ~* \.(png)) { add_header Content-Type image/png; } if ($request_uri ~* \.(jpg|jpeg)) { add_header Content-Type image/jpeg; } if ($request_uri ~* \.(gif)) { add_header Content-Type image/gif; } } Download Now

An error occurred when saving /home/x/public_html/forum/clientscript/vbsc.js and/or /home/x/public_html/forum/clientscript/vbsc.js.gz. Ensure these files exist and that PHP has permission to write to them (chmod).
===================================== I have them chmodded to 777 still have a problem. |

Just upgraded to 1.3 nd all is still working perfectly, not sure why others are having so many issues. I've now hosted my images on a CDN too, the site is flying - I just keep clearing my cache so I can see how quick it is! lol. See for yourself:

I really like the idea's of these mods, I just wish that they'd actually improve things instead of possibly cause more issues.
If you're already having page load time issues, some of this addon is going to cause even more problems for you. You should be loading YUI from a remote source, it means that your users only have to have one set of YUI files cache. If they visit any other VB sites that also load remotely they dont have to request the files. It also increases thier browsing speed of the site because their browser can send requests for these files while waiting for your other site files(by default in browsers only do 2 requests per site at a time). Moving it back onto your site mimimized or not isn't helping. FWIW we already compress the files by default for vBulletin unless you download the package sans compressed javascript. -2 Serving Compressed CSS is actually a good idea, +1 Compressing templates in REALTIME (as in every single page load) is a HORRIBLE idea. This is adding COUNTLESS cpu cycles and making php do even more work then it was already doing to make your pages load. FWIW fully gziped/mod_deflated html with whitepsace removal is 3-5% improvement on average. If you really need to squeeze that much preformance, you should do it ONCE and only ONCE ever. When you save the template you can compress its contents. You can also extend the post cacheing system to compress its html whitespace there as well. -5 The attachment optmizer is probably not bad, but I didn't look at the code here. +0 So overall this addon does more to harm your site than help it, at least as it stands now. Just something to think about |

Moving Javascript to before </body> +2 (the difference from simply doing that is huge - you don't get those little freezes during page loads)
Google Closure Compiler +1 Compressed HTML I agree that's probably not the best thing for the server CPU :P I'll make that disabled by default and include a warning in the next version. Also I could make the YUI files being included in the Javascript cache an optional thing. But still surely almost all the Javascript needed on the majority of pages being compressed into a single file under 70 KB (with GZip) that can be easily cached deserves a +1? :P Otherwise you end up with a load of separate Javascript files and like you said, it's usually 2 requests at a time (not that it makes much difference without loading them async). |

If you want to compress the html, do it, just do it else where like the template save in the admincp, and change how the pst cache works to compress html there.
The YUI files being on a CND (google/yahoo) are better. Its more likely for your browsers to have the YUI files cached if they were hosted on a central website. Why use your own bandwith and cpu cycles to serve the YUI when you don't need to? YSlow! 2 said that the average vBulletin page gets a C, which isn't bad. |

It states that your mod will use NginxHttpGzipStaticModule if available, but is there a windows version of it?
Thanks. |
