RE: Best forum software from FEO point of view - GreenGecko - 06-17-2013 04:00 PM I only know phpBB and vBulletin, and it's a draw... mainly because avatars/images are stored externally, as are css/js so their expiry is a function of the web server config. Both these two also generate FE cache versions of their pages. RE: Best forum software from FEO point of view - lena - 06-17-2013 07:18 PM Thanks for the feedback, GreenGecko.

One reason why I opened this thread is because I know that SMF snores with respect to image cache-ability, as only avatar images can be delegated to Apache. On the other hand SMF has a very good optimizing tutorial, cf.: http://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?topic=293441.0 Although PHPBB is allegedly better, I still haven't found any good optimizing tutorial. |
