seotoaster is fast!

Speed is an important factor in web site optimization and seotoaster takes also care of making your website faster for a better user experience. Starting with version 1.8, here is how you can increase the speed of your already fast toaster.

1) Tell seotoaster to concatenate all your CSS files.

In place of the links to your CSS, use {%concatcss}

You can make your website faster to download by concatenating your javascripts and CSS. Seotoaster has this variable {%concatcss} that tells the system to take all the CSS you uploaded with your theme stitch it alltogether and make only one file: "concat.css"

The result is only one request to the server to get the styles, while allowing you to create as many CSS files as you want, knowing that you will load only one at the end.

Code example to apply the concatcss feature on your website to increase its speed.

First, comment your CSS links.


then insert the concatcss widget in place of your CSS.
{%concatcss}

Minifie your code, cache all javascripts and CSS files. Use Mr Ali Farhadi's smartoptimizer.

One great way to achieve speed on your website is to cache and minifi your files. Seotoaster uses Zend cache to optimize the already fast seo cms, but you can add another layer by using Mr. Ali Farhadi's great smartoptimizer script that is already embedded in seotoaster package.

How to enable smartoptimizer with seotoaster?

1) Make the folder smartoptimizer/cache writable: 755/707/777 Depending on your server config.

2) put the file ".xrules" (Extension of htaccess) in the root. Because seotoaster re-generates the .htaccess regularly (Creating 301 redirects), .xrules acts as an addendum to the htaccess and will not be re-written.

Download .xrules here and place it in the root of your website.

--> Remember to rename and add the "." before xrule. the name of the file MUST be ".xrules"

once you have applied those 2 features on your seotoaster optimized website, why don't you download "pagespeed" and see the result by yourself?
