23 days ago by frogpond
Sometime back i wrote about How to reduce WordPress server load on Shared Hosting and there i talked about Google XML sitemap Generator plugin can be one of the main culprits behind your High server/ CPU load on your shared hosting. In this post i will talk about few things about the same plugin and how to configure some of its settings so that it uses less CPU or memory on shared hosting. I am assuming here that you already have installed the plugin and have some issues with your CPU/Server load on shared hosting. You should change the default options only when you know what you are doing. Some of the configuration changes as described below surely will help you reduce your server load and run your blog smoothly.

Wordpress optimization tips to make it faster & reduce server load
23 days ago by frogpond
Remove unnecessary plugins: Use only the required plugins, do not over load your WordPress installation with unnecessary plugins which is not serving any real purpose. Most of the time I am tempted to install plugins to achieve something which is not really required. So always stay away from those plugins. We will publish a list of really important plugins for WordPress in a future post.

Speeding Up Wordpress
23 days ago by frogpond
Several weeks ago I decided to speed up my WordPress blog since I thought it was running quite slowly. In the last few weeks I’ve been doing a lot of research and this article is what I came up with on how to best increase the speed of a WordPress blog. Navigation: 1. Basic Optimization 2. Template Optimization 3. External Objects 4. WordPress Plug-in Optimization 5. Database Optimization 6. Conclusion Before we can start optimizing our WordPress blog we first need to see how long it takes to load it and what it’s size is. To be able to do that I would recommend using tools such as Pingdom or Firebug with an additional add-on called YSlow. Through these tools you should be able to measure your progress, i.e. a decrease in load time. Before using all these little tweaks make sure that you back up your blog first!

Tools to view your site as Googlebot would see it
The following are a couple examples of web services that will allow you to see your web pages or their source code the way other user agents (such as Googlebot) see them. This could be helpful in detecting undesired output if your site's files or database have been hacked. Often times, such hacks are masked when viewing a site by "regular" users and only show up to search engines.

Was läuft auf der Dockstar?
april 2011 by frogpond
Im Prinzip ist die Dockstar auch nur ein kleiner Homeserver, mit Debian bespielt kann man damit also alles anstellen, was auch ein "normaler" Homeserver packt. Allerdings sind natürlich Grenzen in der Leistung gesetzt. So ist das Hosten einer oft besuchte Websites eine schlechte Idee für die Dockstar, auch ein OpenVAS Server wäre eine sehr schlechte Wahl, aber trotzdem gibt es genügend Serverdienste, die unter Linux mit wenigen Ressourcen zurechtkommen und von denen habe ich hier eine Liste mit Beiträgen aus unserem Blog und Wiki erstellt.

Dockstar: Debian bootet nicht - Lösungsansätze
march 2011 by frogpond
Was tun, wenn die Dockstar nicht anpingbar ist, obwohl in der Netconsole Starting Kernel steht? Das kann oft mehrere Gründe haben, in diesem Post werde ich darauf eingehen, wie man solche Probleme behebt und in Zukunft am Besten verhindern kann. Ein Grund kann ein defektes beziehungsweise beschädigtes Dateisystem sein, ein anderer ein Kernel Upgrade via apt. Doch zu den Ursachen und Lösungsansätzen jetzt mehr.

Nginx: Webserver klein und schnell | ADMIN
february 2011 by frogpond
Wenn es um Webserver geht, fällt den meisten Administratoren als erstes Apache ein, der in der globalen Statistik des Web auch an erster Stelle steht. Kleinere und schnellere Alternativen gewinnen jedoch immer mehr Anhänger, so zum Beispiel Lighttpd und Cherokee. Als zusätzlicher Wettbewerber stieg vor einiger Zeit der Nginx-Server (ausgesprochen englisch "Engine-ex") in den Ring. Er steht für hohe Performance, Stabilität, umfangreiche Features, einfache Konfiguration und geringen Ressourcenverbrauch. Das Resultat der Bemühungen des Programmierers Igor Sysoev verrichtet seinen Dienst in vielen großen Sites, zum Beispiel Wordpress.com, Hulu und Linuxquestions.org. Ungewöhnlich: Außer als Webserver kann Nginx auch als Proxy für die Mail-Protokolle IMAP und POP3 auftreten.
