Good morning everyone,

I am trying to improve the speed of this website im working on and just improve my code in general. My pages are working, but sometimes I am getting connection errors to the database, database resides on the same server as the site, and I am aslo seeing slow load times. I am just trying to improve my code and learn the proper way to format everything, so if anyone has time please take a lot and leave some suggestions or anything you can to help. The site is www.tlgnewspaper.com if you want to take a look.

The code you have posted is basically just a template'ed page being built using php include statements. Other than the php code in your included files, the only php statements are the getLastPhoto() function calls.

 

You would start by pinning down where the code spends the greatest amount of time, either in one or more of the included files or making calls to the getLastPhoto() function. You can use $some_var = microtime(true);, before and after any block of code to get the starting/ending times and subtract the two times to get the amount of time taken for any code block.

Using a proper profiler will also help a lot, as it'll give you a detailed breakdown of everything that happens in your code and how long it takes.

Personally I'm using Zend Studios, but I'm sure there are others out there that doesn't cost money. As well as other commercial profilers, it's just to look around. ;)

This thread is more than a year old. Please don't revive it unless you have something important to add.
