XF Optimise

[Luke F]

This addon is of arguably little use since XenForo 1.1


Based on the now defunct vB4 SuperCharged, this addon does a few things to improve your Page Speed score as well as overall responsiveness.

Features:

• Minify all Javascript with UglifyJS (beats even Closure Compiler)
• Defer Javascript loading (moves script tags to before </body>)
• Minify HTML (not really recommended, but you can give it a try )

Installation:

1. Upload contents of upload folder to your forum root.
2. Ensure the directories /js and /js-old are writeable by PHP (chmod or otherwise).
3. Install addon-XFOptimise.xml file.
4. Go to ACP > Applications > Minify Javascript and wait for around 30 seconds for it to complete the minification process. May take longer since each file must be sent to and processed individually by my server.
5. If you are running nginx (if not, you should be ), see here to take advantage of the .gz files.

Please note that this overwrites all .js files in /js, though a backup is created in /js-old.

Also you should run the Minify Javascript process again after upgrading XenForo or installing addons with Javascript included.

Update: (0.0.x to 0.1.0)

1. Upload contents of upload folder to your forum root, overwriting all files.
2. Upgrade addon using addon-XFOptimise.xml file.

Changelog:

0.1.0: (24/04/2011)

• Added configurable Javascript Blacklist, with existing defaults along with Twitter widgets and AdBrite.
• Improvements to permissions etc. when running minify Javascript (thanks xfrocks).

0.0.3: (22/03/2011)

• Switched to a more reliable file iterator (SPL extension required now).
• Fixed permissions issue (only superadmins had access, now controlled with 'option' flag as previously intended).

0.0.2: (22/03/2011)

• Possibly fixed array_merge error in Minify Javascript function.

0.0.1: (21/03/2011)

• Initial release

Any Opcode cache ? (without down and dirty hacks )

 

[Andy.N]

DI,
Do I need this?

 

[raytrails]

The "Compressed" numbers seems promising - but what are the real world results of this add-on? Percent doesn't tell me that much, but seconds do.

hahahahahahaha you diffidently do not .. CDN is more than enough

Some figures from my forum homepage:

Before XF Optimise:
YSlow: 88 (B)
Page Speed: 78

After Defer Javascript:
YSlow: 90 (A)
Page Speed: 79

After Minify HTML:
No change, other than a tick for Minify HTML in Page Speed
(For a thread or any other page with a lot of HTML this would probably push the score up a bit)

After Minify Javascript:
YSlow: 90 (A)
Page Speed: 82

 

[Digital Doctor]

Is it possible to make xenforo EVEN faster ! Wow.
It's crazy fast already !

Anything weird in your js folder? Such as empty folders etc.

 

[Alien]

Nice work.

 

[chrisj]

Nothing that I can notice easily. I'll do a more in depth search but I have these folders: jquery, swfupload, tinymce, xenforo. I also had an empty html file, index.html (not sure what the purpose of that is).

 

[spiderman]

when I use the addon does not work the chat
I can not add more smilies and there are no chat messages appear more
