Making the most of your webserver

If some processing can be achieved using JavaScript, such as form validation, then use that. JavaScript is processed by a vistors computer, not byrepparttar webserver, reducing your servers work load even more.

3. Reuse Everytime you reuse a graphic, instead of adding new ones on each page,repparttar 132502 visitors computer, afterrepparttar 132503 first viewing, loadsrepparttar 132504 from its cache.

This is also true of CSS. Saving your CSS as an external file, as opposed to emedding CSS markup in each web page, means that afterrepparttar 132505 server loads itrepparttar 132506 first time,repparttar 132507 visitors computer will load it from then on everytime a new page is opened.

4. Reduce database queries Webservers also have to process instructions by your dynamic code to access your database. Obviously then,repparttar 132508 more you ask of your databases,repparttar 132509 more workrepparttar 132510 server does. If you ensure that your database queries only ask for information that you will make use of, you can substantially reduce workloads. For example, SQL queries like "SELECT * FROM table_name" arerepparttar 132511 worst kind to send, especially if a table is made up of 20 fields and you will only be processing 3 of them. A query like "SELECT field1, field2, field3 FROM table_name" would then make more sense. Using WHERE in a query to limitrepparttar 132512 number of records returned also helps.

5. Other advantages Usingrepparttar 132513 above techniques will not only reduce your servers workload, but it also results in less webspace usage, less bandwidth usage andrepparttar 132514 pages themselves will be quicker to load anyway due to reductions in file sizes, and files loaded byrepparttar 132515 visitor's cache as opposed to from your server.
