[high]Looking for VB3 version? Is here.[/high]

This hack will add at the bottom of each vBulletin(powered) page the following stats:
- load time of specified page in microseconds (with custom no. of digits to show)
- number of queries executed
- server GZIP library compression status
- vBulletin DEBUG mode
- PHP version
- PHP percent page usage
- MySQL percent page usage
- Server Load
[high]This is not only estethic, it will also help you troubleshoot any wierd queries that you have in your scripts.
The hack is template based so you can edit it the way you want in few seconds.[/high]
NOTE: From users experiences, this hack will work only with PHP 4.0.6 or higher. Let me know if it works with a lower PHP version.

THE FIX FOR VB2.3.0 IS HERE.

HACK UPDATES
Version 2.1
------------------------------------
Changes:
- added Server Load

NOTE: I spoked with Kevin 'tubedogg' from vBulletin Support team and he explained to me that not all the servers are configured to support the [high]@exec("uptime")[/high].
Contact your host for more details and ask them about this issue.
For a full explanation of your 3 server load values, read more here.

*If you want to have the stats viewable only by admins, read this post.

really?? lol, no wonder there board lags so much sometimes, 600 users online though..

[TECK]

even if u have 1200users it will still load in 0.5-0.9secs not 3secs

My server load doesn't show up, I talked to my host and they said it should. I went over the hack changes 3 or 4 times and I know that variable is there, everything is right but it just won't show up. Also, is GZIP a good thing to use or is it just better to leave it off? Maybe good on a site that gets a lot of traffic? I turned it on and I go 2 extra queries and the load time didn't change much.

Without gzip:
Page generated in 0.31823003 seconds (82.84% PHP - 17.16% MySQL) with 34 queries.
[Debug Mode OFF] [PHP v4.2.3] [GZIP disabled]

with gzip:
Page generated in 0.38986803 seconds (97.93% PHP - 18.07% MySQL) with 36 queries.
[Debug Mode OFF] [PHP v4.2.3] [GZIP enabled - level 1]

Does that look ok? Should I use gzip?

[mheinemann]

Doesn't look right

97.93% + 18.07% = 116%
this should always equal 100%

GZIP at setting 1 is the best. It'll reduce bandwidth usage a lot and wont slow your server down much.

[N9ne]

If your host has GZIP, I suggest setting it to level 1, that goes out to all vB owners, it HALVED my bandwidth usage, right now i'd be using 1GB a day of bandwidth with my forum, but with GZIP I use only about 200-300MB

[maestrosdelweb]

It works fine.. Thanx...

[mheinemann]

Does a higher GZIP setting offer more compression or less compression.
