Changing the web server configurationGenerally, you shouldn't need to change your httpd.conf, but if you do, this page is to share tips & tricks about Tiki-related configs. Note also that some hosting services do not allow you to change the httpd.conf file, because it may be shared between different accounts running on the same web server. In those cases, some of the configuratesions suggested below can still be done by putting them in the .htaccess file. Exploiting caches for static resource filesThere are many files on your site that never change. Things like image files for icons and logos, CSS files for styles, javascript, etc. Yet, if your web server is not configured properly, each request made by a user will redownload them everytime, without looking in any cache. On some slow servers (or heavily shared server farms like BlueHost), this can add several seconds to the loading time of every page. To avoid this, you must set an expiry date on files which are of a static type. On this type of server, this technique has been known to shave off a couple of seconds from the loading time of pages.
