Remove query string from static ressources

    Hello,

     

    all my CSS and js resources get included with a query string smoothbox4.js?c=29 for example.

    I want to remove this as it improves caching of those files and make my site slower.

     

    OT: how to tune social engine? I have many members and content now, and my website gets slower and slower by every new member. I did some performance testing with dynatrace and found that there could be some improvements in queries in version 4.10

     

    I think when removing those query string, my site speed will improve x2!

     

    regards

    I have found a solution:

     

    goto: application/modules/Core/layouts/scripts/default.tmpl and comment out the whole if block

    <pre style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #000000; font-family: 'Courier New'; font-size: 9,0pt;">if (!empty($dat->attributes['src'])) { }<br>and</pre> <pre style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #000000; font-family: 'Courier New'; font-size: 9,0pt;">if (false === strpos($dat->attributes['src'], '?')) {<br><br>Im not sure if that breaks something yet.<br><br>Also FireFox sending Pragma: no-cache and Cache-Control: no-cache which is strange!! Someone knows why this is??<br><br><br><br></pre>

    Also FireFox sending Pragma: no-cache and Cache-Control: no-cache which is strange!! Someone knows why this is??

    I edited your above post. We do not allow that word here nor anything that looks like that word. I find that word offensive. 

    As for your other posts here, thanks for posting. Are you saying you found a solution or that you've not?

    Ok reading your first comment, you say the site is slower. Is this in front end or admin or both? I think I know of a post someplace for some tips. I'll see if I can find it.

    https://support.socialengine.com/php/customer/en/portal/articles/1637065-socialengine-performance-and-speed-enhancement-tips?b_id=14386 try those tips. One more tip - clear your error logs. It can get massive. Go to your admin panel and the log browser and delete the error logs after you've checked it to see any errors on the site. Fix errors on the site if you see some.
