cache

There's been some great work on the Boost module lately with a lot of functionality added, especially the pre-caching crawler. And combined with nginx's speed advantage over apache serving static files, it's a great combination.

However, nginx does have built in caching. I've never used it, but I've seen some folks discussing how to do it on the mailing list. Has anyone used it for Drupal?

I'm looking for a way to cache some external pages (the external references on the wiki nodes).
That's because the local server must to have a copy in case the external page is gone or that site is down.
Does anyone have a suggestion on this?
Thanks!

These days I've added a feature table to Caching: Modules that make Drupal scale, this group's wiki page for comparison of performance and scalability modules, started by Mike Carper some time ago.

This follows other Drupal module comparison pages, trying to make it simple and clear for most normal cases, so that a majority of users can easily understand the basics and use them. Anyone can naturally share additional info. Let's hope the wiki will be useful for Drupal users.

Spent A LOT of time over the past few days really getting into the bugs in Cache Router. This module is now entering the 1.0 release candidate world. It now "just works". For a lot of people it should be as easy as installing the module, adding the configs to settings.php and watching your site be 20-50% faster.

For bigger sites, this module will allow you to scale to great heights using memcache.

Here you go: 1.0-rc1 release - http://bit.ly/CMRRW Project page: http://drupal.org/project/cacherouter

hello

i have a website running with real estates (www.ding-dong.at) and there i have a view, where useres can filter the objects for their needs (www.ding-dong.at/immobilien). when a user starts to filter the objects he gets his results below - that works really fine, but the problem is, if he clicks on one real estate to get the detailinformations, all his searchresults are lost when he wants to get back.
is there a way to save these filter-/searchresults?
activating the remember function in the exposed filters is not a working solution for the results, i tested it

greets

Hello Everyone,

I have a website with 100k Visitors/Day , I am a newbie in Php and Servers, when a downtime occurs managed hosting guy was resetting the server and I was optimizing the databases and I was optimizing the DB everyday and I was fine.

But this week site became to crash twice a day. And Reboot/optimize only works for 5-6 hrs and it crashes again. My hosting guy said it is caused by cache_page table in mySQL and it gives ~300MiB overhead in 2hrs after mysql optimization. And he said its a wrong method to keep cache in database it causes this errors.

Authcache offers page caching for logged-in authenticated users. This allows Drupal to load pages in 1-2 milliseconds and take the load off the the database & processor. Please help test this module (the site I was creating this for got axed, but I continued development on this module). Feedback & patches are welcome. This module can be used for anonymous users (it's faster than Drupal core since the database won't be hit), supports the statistics module, and can cache blocks of user-customized content.

Many thanks to Steve Rude for his work on the Cache Router module, which Authcache uses as its caching system.

This is how it works:

Hello,

I'm looking for any feedback or insight into the area of database replication for a cold-swap Drupal (5.x) site. This is my situation:

Here is my initial post about performance tuning our site http://www.divx.com/ This is mainly a place for me to brain dump and spark discussion and hopefully open up issues to track and get some of these fixes into Drupal core.

Servers

4 - Web servers with 8GB Memory each, Apache 2.2.x + PHP 5.2.x
2 - Memcache Servers with 8 GB Memory each. 9 bins per server
2 - Database Servers with 16GB each running MySQL 5.0.x
