Speed up your site.. lose {stylesheet}

[Russ]

Thanks Pierre, but I don't use a seperate results page.
a. If I did would this help?
b. How do I set a page to be non-cachable?

Maybe 

b. How do I set a page to be non-cachable?

In Option tab of page, uncheck Cachable

thanks! works great for me.

one of my pages went from 15 sec (whoa!) to under 1.8 sec. Amazing, EVEryONE SHOULD DO THIS!!!!!

This certainly helped to speed up my site too, but I had the same problem with a disappearing header image as this person did:

Henrik,

Tried this plugin, and I nearly got it working; the pictures in the header (placed there by the stylesheet), don't show up. the rest of the page is shown. I removed the plugin, in case you wanted to look. My site iswww.uisge-beatha.eu (http://www.uisge-beatha.eu)

Gregor

He cured his problem like this:

Walking through the hall, I suddenly thought it might have to do with the directory path. In my stylesheet it is:
Code:

  background: url(uploads/images/logo_links1.gif) no-repeat 0 0px;


I replaced it with (don't know how to change color inside a code or quote, I placed a / before uploads):
Code:

  background: url(/uploads/images/logo_links1.gif) no-repeat 0 0px;


Now it's working

But this doesn't work for me and my header image is still missing. Has anyone else had this problem?

Do you have the tag {metadata} between ... ?

[nedbenj]

Thanks for the reply... yes I do.

Have you tried to change the url path from relative to absolute?

Hello, I haven't read the CSS spec for some time but I think paths in CSS are relative to the CSS they are in. This is not CMSms specific. maybe something like url(../../myfolder/file.jpeg) can help.

Excellent support guys, that's solved the problem.
Thank you very much!

Hi Guys,

Just rolled out static_stylesheet to a few of my CMSMS 1.2.3 "Black Rock" sites and can't believe the difference it makes..
At least 150% faster right across the board.

you do how ever have to change the default menu style sheets from:
background: url(uploads/images/xxx.gif) no-repeat 0 0px;
to:
background: url(/uploads/images/xxx.gif) no-repeat 0 0px;

adding the leading slash.

Also, on one I forgot to create the /stylesheet/ folder in the root - it really doesn't like that

Got another tip for you..

after adding the {static_stylesheet} fix, my pages were generating in .25 to .5 seconds (which is much better than the 1 second before).
just doing some system work / tidying and ran a MySql 5 table optimize across the whole DB (Google it to see how to do it for your DB).

Page generation is now down to ~.15 secs with the best I've seen so far being about .11 secs for a simple page !

great stuff !!

Strange thing this work on a few sites and now on the latest it is not working. Seems that background and the headers will not work. Very strange.

Here is the head tag.

{* Change lang="en" to the language of your site *}



{sitename} - {title}
{* The sitename is changed in Site Admin/Global settings. {title} is the name of each page *}

{metadata}
{* Don't remove this! Metadata is entered in Site Admin/Global settings. *}

{static_stylesheet}
{* This is how all the stylesheets attached to this template are linked to *}

and the style sheet area:

/*****************
basic layout
*****************/
body {
  background-color: #0B4E69;
  color: #0B4E69;
  margin:1em; /* gives some air for the pagewrapper */
}

/* center wrapper, min max width */
div#pagewrapper {
  border: 0px solid black;
  margin: 0px auto;    /* this centers wrapper */
  background: url(/images/innerback.jpg);
  color:#000;
  width: 836px;
}


/*** header ***
we will hide text and replace it with a image
we need to assign a height for it
*/

div#header {
  height: 143px; /* adjust according your image size */
  background: url(/images/topbanner.jpg);         
}

div#header h1 a {
/* you can set your own image here */
  background: url(/images/topbanner.jpg)no-repeat 0 12px;;
  display: block;
  height: 143px;            /* adjust according your image size */
  text-indent: -999em;  /* this hides the text */
  text-decoration:none; /* old firefox would have shown underline for the link, this explicitly hides it */
}

Nothing appears until I remove the "static" part and the extra "/". I dropped the "functin" in the plugins area but is there something that needs to come out?

Thanks in advance,

Yorgi
