| Hi John, As you know, I bought PB for the rule replacement to do some URL hacking. I will try out the PB compression some other time, so I will continue to use the core compression. I have set the config to "None" for the compression option - I assume I don't need to remove the Compression line in the web.config? Is it possible to run PB and still use the core compression? And lastly, have you ever done speed tests vs the core? I prefer to use the core as much as possible unless there is a good reason (makes upgrading so much easier). If PB was much faster I would switch to that, but otherwise I will just use the URL replacement functionality. Thanks Rodney Smart-Thinker.com | |
thanks

| I have never tried running PageBlaster with compression disabled and core compression on, but there really is no reason to use the core compression if you are using PageBlaster. The speed of compression is going to be the same, but PageBlaster handles the excludes better in my opinion.
I would have actually built PageBlaster without compression, but I couldn't get it to work seperately with Blowery compression at the time, so I included it in the module.
Where PageBlaster really gives a performance boost in in Page Caching. With page caching the performance has been measured at 300% improvement.
If you want to try it, make sure that the core compression module is listed at the top of the HttpModules list, with PageBlaster coming after it in the list. | | | |

| Ok, it did not work anyway - there was literally no output so I removed the core line.
I am getting some really wierd output when logged in as admin - I would like to disable caching globally for now - how do I do that?
The URL Replacement stuff works great on the forums! I'm going to try a few more ideas... let me know that referral code please as I will be doing some blog posts on integration.. | |
thanks

| Hi Rodney,
You can disable caching by setting the memory-cache-interval and disk-cach-interval to all zeros in the Snapsis.PageBlaster.config file:
memory-cache-interval="00:00:00:00"
disk-cache-interval="00:00:00:00" You can also do it by creating an excludePath that excludes everything from caching:
path pattern=".*" excludeFrom="Caching" You can sign-up for the Affiliate program here: http://www.snapsis.com/OnlineStore/Earn10onReferrals/tabid/505/Default.aspx And I'll also send you a discount code that you can pass on to your cutomers. | | | |

| John, I am getting some really strange output which I attributed to the caching. I have now turned caching AND compression off and the problem remains.
When these are both off, does PB still do anything with the output?
You can see the problem on PokerDIY when you log in as a user (logout is fine). Half the homepage does not render, and when logged in as Host it really throws up some strange output and does not show the menus.
I sae your comment about the extra tag, but I assumed PG would not touch the output if caching and compression were off? | |
thanks

| | Ok, I logged in and it looks like the extra < /html tag is from a Blog entry. | | | |

| | Thanks - I will look into it - it's just that I could have sworn the problem only started occurring yesterday after the PB install! | |

| Yes, that is a problem with PageBlaster because PageBlaster is still attaching for replacements when you login. PageBlaster doesn't like the extra < /html tag because it can't find the real end of the page that way.
I've been trying to find another way to determine the end of the stream, but with buffering it becomes very difficult.
By the way, you can also remove those language tags from the output querystrings. I can't believe they added that without thinking about the SEO implications. | | | |

| Ok, I see.
Yes, the Language string params can be removed though on the Admin -> Languages menu thank goodness! | |

| I'm taking another crack at allowing more than one < /html tag and I think I have something that will work. I'm currently in the middle of some other enhancements so I can't release it right now, but I should have a working build by Monday. | | | |
