Building static pages ./. Encoded and scripted pages : Performance
Hello!

Regarding the Links v2.0, if PHP3 is used in the html templates than it may not show an increased performance.

Whereas in Links SQL there may be a dramatic improvement in the performance. Alex, if a PHP3 scripting is used for generating webpages on line which are in the database, would it increase the performance.

Yesterday you commented to Xanthis that the Links SQL database of the demo has about 23,000 links occupying 25MB of webspace.

If one has webpages scripted and embeded within the templates that it creates a set of basic website pages and they are always updated when a surfer calls for it. True? Would it be efficient.

Using SQL version, it is ofcourse very important to also understand the possibilities of SQL features and mod_perl features in relation to the use of Links program. Such an information is not readily found elsewhere. So use of Links SQL also requires a discussion of its features and understanding them.

There are two ways to go: static vs dynamic. Both Links and Links SQL works with the static method where all pages are generated and saved to the server. This allows for very fast access/retrieval as visitors browsing your directory are just pulling up regular html pages, not invoking any programming.

Hope this helps,

Alex
