( [id://3333]=superdoc: print w/replies, xml ) Need Help??

I'd imagine that generating static pages would also reduce load on the web server, make the site faster, and so on. The trick would be regenerating the pages every time the DB changes (in a significant way...), rather than once a night via cron job.

If the site's very dynamic, live updates would be the way to go, but otherwise, I'd be afraid that they'd be a waste of resources.

Update: There's some good discussion on high traffic dynamic+cached sites at Opening too many files?.

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
    <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
  • Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
