Cache your WordPress with WP-Cache

7 November 2007 9 Comments

I am running WP-Cache plugin on this website. Since I use it on my website, I can feel the difference. The time taken for my website to load up is much faster when I using it.

WP-Cache is a plugin that will cache your WordPress and stores them to static files. When a page is requested, WordPress will load the static file instead of compiling the PHP code and building the page from the database. This will really reduce the time from several tenths of seconds to less than a milisecond as said by the plugin author, Ricardo Galli Granada.

The installation is not really difficult but you might having a problem to create the symbolic link because you need to have a shell access to do it. But thanks to Torkil Johnsen for sharing this method to us.

If you are Malaysian and use WordPress as your blog engine, I want to invite you to join our community at www.wpmalaysia.com/forum/. There you can ask for supports, give opinions and help other members to solve their WordPress problems.

I know many of Malaysian WordPress users are afraid to ask at WordPress support forum because they need to use English to communicate. But here at WP Malaysia, you no need to afraid because we use Malay language to communicate to each others.

But, if you prefer to speak in English, you are still being invited. We, the community members still will give you supports and entertain you with our helps as long as we could.

Protect PHP files with Free PHP Encoder

3 July 2007 23 Comments

Free PHP Encoder should become useful. Because for me as a WordPress theme coder don’t like users to remove my link from the footer. I really hate them (not really but don’t like) when they remove my link and make like the theme was made by them. So, to protect the PHP file from being edited by the users, I have encrypted the file so they can’t edit the footer file. But, how do I do that?

I use an encoder to encrypt and lock the file. Free PHP Encoder will encrypt the source code and can only be decoded when the users request the file from their internet browsers. Although they can request the file, but they can’t modify it. Even I can’t retrieve back the source code if I lost the original file. So with this encryption, your link on the footer will be safe.

Upgrade your WordPress to 2.2.1 now!

WordPress developer team always try to catch up and fix bugs and security issues as soon as users report it. Although the updates release frequently, whether you want it or not, you must always do the upgrade to all of your WordPress powered sites.

Usually each upgrade has new bug fixes and security patches. So you must download the latest WordPress version and upgrade your WordPress after the download finished. Don’t delay the upgrade or you might will end up by getting a message by someone on your website.

But don’t think your WordPress site is safe just because you have upgraded it to the latest version. There are many ways the attackers can do to hack or to deface your website. So you must do the database backup daily (recommended) or at least weekly.
