A crazy idea - mark_script_ready()

Uhm, even if you cache you still have to redeclare the constants, actually execute the code that defines the classes and functions, and so on, so no, caching is not the same thing.

Today I had a eureka for making a page load faster

[image] Actually it was late yesterday while surfing for how to implement Laravel file caching. I discovered only two .htaccess lines are required to test if a file is in a cache folder. If the file exists then display the file else fall through and load PHP, Laravel, MySql, etc. It is quite easy to test by displaying a Laravel generated file, viewing the source of the URI and saving to the Cache folder using the named URI with a .html extension. No doubt this is not new to many who are fami…

Further to my above Eureka, as well as extracting the Laravel bare HTML output, I have also used CodeIgniter 3.0 to extract the bare HTML. It is working fine and gets 100% Pingdom Performance Grade.

CodeIgniter:

  // RENDER TO SCREEN
    $this->load->view( $data['page_new'], $data, FALSE); 

  //  if 200===http_response_code() 
  //      WRITE TO "_CACHE_JJ/current/"  
  //   else
  //      WRITE TO "_CACHE_JJ/Found"
     $this->_new_cache_jj($data, $delete= FALSE);

Cached web-pages that bypass PHP & MySQL?

.htaccess
script checks if the file exists in the cached folder and outputs the file

Question:
Does Apache load PHP & MySQL regardless?
