WordPress WP-Cache with GZip Compression enable


wordpress, wordpress plugin, wordpress blog systemWhat is WP-Cache?
WP-Cache is an extremely efficient WordPress page caching system to make your site much faster and responsive. It works by caching Worpress pages and storing them in a static file for serving future requests directly from the file rather than loading and compiling the whole PHP code and then building the page from the database. WP-Cache allows to serve hundred of times more pages per second, and to reduce the response time from several tenths of seconds to less than a millisecond. (From: WP-Cache homepage)

How to have WP-Cache with Gzip compression enable?
The default WP-Cache plugin do not support gzip compression. If you would like to turn on WP-Cache with gzip compression you need to do some hacking. Here are the steps:-

Advertisements

1st:
Download the latest version of WP-Cache

2nd:
Turn off gzip in the Options.

3rd:
Edit: wp-cache-phase1.php
Add this line:
if ( extension_loaded(’zlib’) ) ob_start(’ob_gzhandler’);

Before this:
foreach ($meta->headers as $header) {
header($header);

4th:
Edit: /wp-content/advanced-cache.php

Add:
if ( extension_loaded(’zlib’) ) ob_start(’ob_gzhandler’);

Before this:
foreach ($meta->headers as $header) {

That’s it! and now your site should be fast enough!

[…] 一用上 WP-Cache 就不能用 Gzip 了, 这应该也是出于对服务器的考虑. 但是如果我就是想要开 Gzip 来省流量的话, 怎么办呢? 现在有办法了. 1. 下载最新版的 WP-Cache 2. 关掉 gzip 的选项 3. 编辑 wp-cache-phase1.php 文件: 在 foreach ($meta->headers as $header) { header($header); 前面添加 if ( extension_loaded(’zlib’) ) ob_start(’ob_gzhandler’); 4. 编辑 /wp-content/advanced-cache.php 文件: 在 foreach ($meta->headers as $header) { 前面添加 if ( extension_loaded(’zlib’) ) ob_start(’ob_gzhandler’); 大功告成!

  19. […] Beim WeatherIcon Plugin handelt es sich um die v3, welche noch im Beta-Status läuft, aber anscheinend keinerlei Probleme macht, kann man empfehlen, falls man solch eine Spielerei wirklich will. WP-Cache hatte mich dafür noch mehr genervt mit dem Hinweis auf 0 cached paged, dafür weiß ich nun vermutlich, woran es happert. Im Grunde funktioniert WP-Cache2 ohne Probleme, aber nach dem Einbau des "Weissen-Seiten"-Fixes und des gzip-Fixes scheint es so, als läd WP-Cache2 mutwillig keine Seiten aus dem Cache mehr (0 cached paged) – aber sortiert jene bereitwillig gerne in den Cache-Ordner. Es scheint, als fehle ein Timestamp..oder aber, es wird falsch vergeben oder ausgelesen – nur leider scheitert mein Wissen an diesem Punkt.. […]
