ReCache - Speed up your forum

[deleted]

Ralkage as per our discussion on Discord, looks as if this issue was intermittent and didn't occur after you reenabled ReCache 🤔 please do reach out to @CDK2020 or me if you ever run into issues again 🙂

Glad to see that you seeing performance gainz as well 😉

This issue has suddenly appeared again - exact same set of circumstances @Ralkage @Kyrne :-(

Which appears to be directly attributed to Cloudflare and not Recache... 🙂

Is it possible to use ReCache without Redis? If so how much speed gain does one see without Redis? Thanks.

[deleted]

nitaaikumar Yes, you can. The real difference is that caching is performed at file-based level, and no database queries are cached. Whilst the caching works extremely well at file level, it's nothing in comparison to Redis.

[deleted]

@Kyrne @Ralkage Perhaps Recache should perform minification and combination of the JS and CSS files it generates as part of the cache ? This would speed things up significantly from the page speed perspective.

Kyrne

[deleted] Flarum JS and CSS files are already minified, it just copies those files.

[deleted]

Kyrne ok, but it doesn't consolidate files into one file as far as I can see.

matteocontrini

[deleted] what do you mean? All the JavaScript code registered by extensions is bundled in a single minified file by default on any Flarum installation (plus another file for translations).

[deleted]

matteocontrini From what I see in speed tests, this isn't the case. It recommends bundling several CSS and JS files into one minified file. Admittedly, there are several consolidated files, but the recommendation is to lower the amount of these.

matteocontrini

[deleted] ok but aside from that, what do you actually see in the source code? Flarum only has 1 CSS file and 2 JS minified files (bundle + translations). It's hard to do less than this, it's already a pretty good setup.

[deleted]

matteocontrini Completely agree. When checking the source of the compiled files, they are 100% minified, so no issues there. I was simply curious as to why pagespeed and others seem to think a webmaster can do better 😕

matteocontrini

[deleted] there are ways to embed CSS into a JavaScript file (some frameworks like Vue.js do that by default with webpack), so if you count that and the fact that the 2 JS files could be merged into one, you could actually get to a single JS file and no CSS files. I guess that's what it refers to, but it's quite extreme.

[deleted]

matteocontrini Agreed. Good info - thanks

Does beta11 work?

Kyrne

Leanna as there are no dev breaking changes in beta 11, ReCache should work without any issues.

Kyrne
Clicking save will prompt an error, I'm not sure why

Leanna

ReFlar ReCache1.0.10 I am using the current version. What is the latest version?

Kyrne

Leanna thanks for the report. I'll take a look into it ASAP

Kyrne AndrewBond Leanna it is very likely this error was related to the one fixed in beta 11.1.

AndrewBond

Kyrne I dont know if it is a red herring, but I received a similar error when attempting a save of a SEO plugin on beta 11.

I have since upgraded to beta 11.1 this morning and the error has gone. I appreciate its a different plugin I am working with.
