Joomla Tips #1 : Turning On Caching
User Rating: / 18

Joomla TipsTo improve your Joomla website's performance, just turn on "caching" on the "Cache" tab from Joomla's Global Configuration. When caching is turned on, Joomla creates a static file or "cache" of your website data on the disk. When the static file is found, the system retrieves the data from the disk rather than from the database. This improves performance because it saves system resources by not making redundant SQL calls to the database. And it will also speed up the display time of the pages.

You can set cache refresh rate in seconds. If you don't constantly update your contents, you might want to set it longer. And to further improve it, go to all your modules configuration and select "yes" to cache option (not available in all modules).

Fortunately, most webhosting provider have this feature on their control panel. Just click and it's done or you can even schedule it.

This is a problem for some website that uses a dark background. It's because, TinyMCE uses the default theme templates CSS by default. If you are editing on the admin side, just turn off CSS for the TinyMCE and use a different CSS.

Solution:
Go to the parameters of TinyMCE mambot and set Template CSS classes to no.
Specify at Custom CSS Classes another css file, where you respecify classes for the editor.
