No GZIP?

[Daijoubu]

Why isn't GZIP enabled??

50kb of HTML can be compressed down to around 8kb!

Yes there's a small overhead, but the size reduction and download time is lowered by ~75%!

You can also lower the compression to level 1 CPU usage bothers you and still benefit most of the compression

.htaccess:

php_value zlib.output_compression_level 1

PHP:

ini_set ('zlib.output_compression_level', 1);

And this server softwares are really behind

This box's still running Apache 1.3.26 which have many known vulberabilities, lastest is 1.3.29

You should tell your host it's about time to update

PHP4.2.3? Plently of bugs have been fixed. 4.3.5 is in RC3 and lastest stable version is 4.3.4, which is out for awhile already

I have no idea which version of MySQL you're running, but i guess it's 3.58.x

Newest production level is MySQL 4.0.17 which feature query caching and helps alot with performance

I already told iceedtea about that, for phpbb, you can install a template cache which also speeds up the board and only takes about a minute to install!
