A friend of mine suggested that my site, would be better off generating a static copy of the front page that updates itself every five minutes or so rather than having database hits on the front page for each and every user. This would also be helpful incase the database has an error, as it could let people know there is content missing.

How do I do this? Links, tutorials and other info such as verbage would be helpful.

I'm switching to a VPS which he says should make it easier to do.

How many hits are you getting a day? I’m kind of a novice programmer but I think MySQL has features to help alleviate system load on highly used queries, caching and such.

I would love to know this too though, are highly accessed pages with lots of MySQL queries a bane on your server, or is this accounted for by MySQL (or vBulletin) or apache or anything?

*shrug, off to research I go.*

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
