Realtime Template Compressor: Reduces page sizes, loads pages faster, saves bandwidth

This is a port of Logican's Realtime Template Compressor hack from vBulletin 2.2.x to vBulletin 3.5.0 Beta 1. I wrote this by rewriting a version of the original hack, that I wrote for my forums when they ran 3.0.x, so that it would function as a plugin for 3.5.0.

I had originally sent this to Logican for him to release it but he replied granting me permission to release it; hence why I'm releasing this.

Installation is very simple. Just import the plugin via vBulletin's "Download / Upload Plugins" page in the Plugin System in the Admin Control Panel and you're done.

I'll try to correct any bugs that you might find. Let me know if you like this plugin and don't forget to click the install link if you install this.

Update History

Version 1.1.0: The expression was replaced with a more efficient one that increases the compression level from approximately 1-2% to approximately 4-8%.
Version 1.0.0: Initial Release

Forgetting something?

Yup, looks like the xml file might help.

Mebbe he's practicing for April Fool's Day?

I'll be interested to see how effective this is after he gets around to giving us the xml file.

It's there. It's just been Real Time Compressed so tightly that it's invisible to the naked eye as a demonstration of the awesome compression capability he's bringing us.

LOL. Anyway, the idea of removing whitespaces is good - saves 5-10% Bandwidth (even with GZip), and the pages are being rendered faster.

Did you contact the original author for permission to port his hack?
