  • MaxClients, MaxKeepAliveRequests e KeepAliveTimeout: ottimizzazione di Apache HTTP Server | Panix websiting – Oggi sappiamo quanto sia importante la velocità di caricamento della pagina sia in termini di usabilità ed user experience, sia in termini SEO, in quanto i motori di ricerca hanno inserito la velocità di caricamento delle pagine nei loro algoritmi di ranking.

    Di recente ho avuto modo di lavorare sull'ottimizzazione di un server web, ed è interessante notare come sia possibile ottenere ottimi risultati intervenendo su tre semplici parametri di configurazione del web server Apache:

    MaxClients
    MaxKeepAliveRequests
    KeepAliveTimeout
    parametri la cui importanza è spesso sottovalutata e che non sempre garantiscono le migliori prestazioni alle loro impostazioni di default.

  • Speeding up Magento with APC or Memcached – Tutorials – Magebase – We often hear complaints about how Magento is slow and performs poorly. Developers know, however, that performance is relative and that we can do a number of things to speed up a Magento site. This article will focus on configuring and using APC and/or Memcached. We have a resources section at the end of this article with links to more performance optimization techniques.

    The options obviously also depend on the specific hosting arrangement. I will assume for the purposes of this article, that you have control over your hosting server and are able to install the necessary add-ons and make configuration changes to Apache and PHP. If you are on a shared environment, you may have to check with your hosting support if you can apply the tips from this article. But, you know that you should at least be on a VPS if you are running Magento.

  • Speed up Magento with simple config tweaks – At Ionata we’ve been using Magento for quite a while now and the more sites we added, the slower our server seemed to become. Magento is quite a big chunk of software and can take up a lot of resources. However after doing some research and carefully tweaking our server configurations, we were pretty amazed to find performance gains of several hundred percent only by changing some settings.

    In this post you’ll find a summary of settings that can boost the speed and responsiveness of your Magento installation. Optimisation can be done for PHP, MySQL, Apache and Magento itself.

  • Apache 2 Basic Configuration on Unix-Like Systems | Nettuts+ – The Apache server is a service that runs in the background, waiting for requests from clients connecting to the ports it listens to, in order to take action. Apache either responds to those requests, or leaves related notes in its log files. Its behavior is controlled through its configuration, using what is known as directives (among other things). We’ll discuss the most basic directives in this article.

  • andihofmeister/squidGuard · GitHub – squidGuard cleanup/rewrite

    The version here is a rewrite of most of the code. While it provides (almost) all features found in SG 1.5, the configuration is not entirely compatible.
    This repostiroy does NOT contain an official version of squidGuard (see below)

  • eAccelerator – eAccelerator is a free open-source PHP accelerator & optimizer. It increases the performance of PHP scripts by caching them in their compiled state, so that the overhead of compiling is almost completely eliminated. It also optimizes scripts to speed up their execution. eAccelerator typically reduces server load and increases the speed of your PHP code by 1-10 times.
  • Server World – Build Network Server – This site explains how to build home server connected to internet with static IP address. You need to get at least one static IP address from your ISP. Please make sure the terms of use from your ISP, and Get one or some IP addresses if possibles. It's possible to build a network server, not with static IP address but with dynamic IP address by using Dynamic DNS, though. But I don't recommend it because there are some limits. It's the best to get at least one static IP address in order to build a network server, there is no limit. To get one static IP address is not so high costs. It's easy to build network server at your home.
    This site explains how to configure a server with commands basically, not with Graphical User Interfaces.
