Working With the Dolphin 7.1 Cache System

Last Updated on Saturday, 19 January 2013 12:00 Written by Mscott Saturday, 19 January 2013 12:00

Hello and welcome! In today’s blog, I am going to explain the Dolphin 7.1 cache options and how to use them.  If you are an Arvixe client who has a VPS or dedicated server you have the ability to install EAccelerator, XCache, APC or Memcache. These are all PHP opcode cachers which compile the PHP code and cache it in memory. This reduces the average load time and speeds up any PHP based website. To use any of these cache engines you must have PHP running as FastCGI, Fcgid, CGI, or DSO.  For the purpose of this tutorial I am going to use the file cache system which does not require any of these to be installed. It is available to anyone, including shared hosting clients and clients who chose to run PHP as suPHP.

Optimizing SocialEngine 4 Performance.

There’s always complains left and right about SocialEngine 4 being slow but the truth is you may have just have to turn Production Mode on. Go to the admin panel of your SE4 install, on the home page look at the lower right panel and you will see “System Mode” and underneath them you’ll have two buttons (Development and Production Mode). Click on Production Mode to speed up the performance of your SE4 site.

In addition to that, go to Settings > Performance and Caching to improve the performance further. You will see options under Caching Feature where the default is based on File-based which uses disk space for caching. You can choose either memcache or APC as they have a better performance over a file-based caching system.

Arvixe’s webhosting is optimized for SocialEngine4 and is highly recommended by Webligo as a webhost for your SocialEngine website.
