Chapter 25. Optimizing PHP-Nuke

Once your PHP-Nuke site is up and running, you can relax and watch it grow. But as it grows, your expectations will grow too: better visibility with the search engines, better protection of your content, better response times from the database - in short, the idea of optimization will start occupying your thoughts more and more. In this chapter we cover some advanced optimization topics:

• Search engines and dynamic URLs (Section 25.1),

• mod_rewrite (Section 25.2),

• Regular expressions (Section 25.3),

• The .htaccess file (Section 25.4),

• How to make PHP-Nuke search engine friendly (Section 25.5),

• How to make PHP-Nuke hot link stealth (Section 25.6),

• How to make a dynamic CSS (Section 25.7),

• How to proceed when MySQL is slow (Section 25.8).
