gzip encoding and cakephp

[phpcurious]

Hi,

I want to try gzip encoding to make output from cakephp faster.
anyone already tried this? Did it really help?
or should I try memcache instead?

Hi phpcurious,

cakephp 1.2 already has a built in file engine
go to app/config/core.php

Cache::config('default', array('engine' => 'File'));

It's really fast no need to use third party.

Jojo,

Memcache is used for the view cache itself, and it reduces the time to
process the PHP stack. It stores the processed view of any action that
you have marked for caching.

Some tips:
* If a cached version of a view has been found by CakePHP, the
dispatcher WILL NOT go to the controller for processing. It will go
directly to the cached view and make use of the pre-processed variable
values that came with the cache view when it was generated.
* This does not apply to variables from sessions (useful if you need
to output login related information for the user, like username or
email address).

GZip compression, on the other hand, is used post-process, but before
transporting the resources to the user's browser. It's very useful to
apply it to other static properties of the site (like
css,js,gif,png,jpg,etc...). You can apply GZip compression
(mod_deflate) server-wide (httpd.conf) or by directory, if allowed
(using .htaccess in your webroot/img or webroot/css directories).

I use a combination of Memcache, APC, and GZip to serve up my pages.

Check the docs on Apache's mod_deflate so you can get some samples.

Cheers,
OJ

thanks to all for the tips!
