I send a message to my server, and this is what was replied. Quote:
Jeremy,
mod_gzip is not configured on the server, but you can achieve the same thing by using PHP. Create a php.ini file in your public_html directory and copy and paste this in there with a less-symbol before the first question mark, and a greater-than symbol after the second question mark:
? ob_start("ob_gzhandler"); ?
Please let us know if that works out for you.
Regards,
Nick

Now... will this help? And then change it to no and 0?
Or should I just leave my settings as is? Which is yes and 1 | | | Join Date: May 2007 | Posts: 267 | Location: Central, Louisiana | Re: vBulletin Optimisation Tips Anyone want to answer? vBSetup Team

and if it is, set the vb gzip option to 0.

gzip is not configured on the server as he stated in the reply.
I was wondering if what he said

I've asked help on like 3 things, but... I got 0 responses basically.
Hope things kick back up. You have gotten busier Brandon, good for you... but it really hurts VBS.

About the gzip, I've already answered this.. Check the link I posted in this thread and increase the number until the performance goes down ;)

3. Restrict Search Engine Crawling
Those spiders..they index your content, but there are always places that you don't want or need them to go.
To restrict the pesky critters to only eating up your Content, do the following.
In your root (public_html) directory, upload the following robots.txt::
Code:
User-agent: *
Disallow: /forums/ajax.php
Disallow: /forums/attachment.php
Disallow: /forums/calendar.php
Disallow: /forums/cron.php
Disallow: /forums/editpost.php
Disallow: /forums/global.php
Disallow: /forums/image.php
Disallow: /forums/inlinemod.php
Disallow: /forums/joinrequests.php
Disallow: /forums/login.php
Disallow: /forums/member.php
Disallow: /forums/memberlist.php
Disallow: /forums/misc.php
Disallow: /forums/moderator.php
Disallow: /forums/newattachment.php
Disallow: /forums/newreply.php
Disallow: /forums/newthread.php
Disallow: /forums/online.php
Disallow: /forums/poll.php
Disallow: /forums/postings.php
Disallow: /forums/printthread.php
Disallow: /forums/private.php
Disallow: /forums/profile.php
Disallow: /forums/register.php
Disallow: /forums/report.php
Disallow: /forums/reputation.php
Disallow: /forums/search.php
Disallow: /forums/sendmessage.php
Disallow: /forums/showgroups.php
Disallow: /forums/subscription.php
Disallow: /forums/threadrate.php
Disallow: /forums/usercp.php
Disallow: /forums/usernote.php
Remove any lines that you WANT the spiders to see.. if you want them to crawl the Calendar, take out Disallow: /forums/calendar.php.
| I don't think this is working for me. I noticed that bots were still doing things like "Searching Forums". Then I realized I don't have "/forums" in my URL. So I got rid of that so it just says "Disallow: /ajax.php". I uploaded the .txt file to my public directory, but still, I think bots are going places I don't think they should be. Any ideas? |
