Hi,

I am developing a new site and was curious, if there is a way for the automatized formatting of the page code to index/no-index.

Currently, Google crawls all pages from my site, but I have the taxonomy for the navigation finished, but I have no content there yet. It hurts my potential future ranking as Google Panda/Penguin will rank many pages as "pages with no content".

Is there a way to set taxonomy pages as "NoIndex, Follow"?

Regards,

Lukas

NYTimes.com has a very interesting article about misuse of SEO techniques and Google's response.

We are working on a site whose pages are taking 17 seconds to load when it is not cached. What you see here is CCK content types like Book, Video, etc. in Block Views, which are then used in Mini Panels. These Mini Panels are joined together to create widgets. We are showing three nodes at a time for each content type - Still loading 12 different content types requires a large number of SQL queries.

SELECT node.nid AS nid, node_data_field_article_image.field_article_image_fid AS node_data_field_article_image_field_article_image_fid, node_data_field_article_image.field_article_image_list AS node_data_field_article_image_field_article_image_list, node_data_field_article_image.field_article_image_data AS node_data_field_article_image_field_article_image_data, node.type AS node_type, node.vid AS node_vid, node.title AS node_title, node.nid AS node_nid, nodequeue_nodes_node.position AS nodequeue_nodes_node_position FROM node node

I recently converted a somewhat big site to Drupal 6.

We currently have:
~13,000 registered users, usually anywhere from 50 - 100 online at a time.
~23,000 nodes
~380,000 comments

I'm running on a VPS with 4gb ram, 200 gb disk space.

I have drupal page compression enabled, optimize css and js enabled.

My host has installed xcache for me.

I really love the drupal framework but my users are very displeased at my current speeds.

Some of the complaints I have received are:

"Speed- slooooooooooow. Agonizingly slooooooooow. 20+ seconds per click."

Hello,

I'd like to introduce a new module: ImageAPI Optimize. This is a "virtual toolkit", that means it does exactly what GD or Imagemagick toolkit (your choice!) does, and it optimizes the output.

This module does requires (optionally) some external commands.

All suggestions are welcome!

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:

So supposing you have several sites on D5 that won't get upgraded to D6 (to take advantage of the syslog support) for several months yet due to workload, what are good ways to optimize InnoDB so that Watchdog can write faster, i.e more concurrent INSERT statements, rather than taking down the site if things get fubar'd? Thanks :)
