I am using many include to show small sections of my site. Is it fine to use many include or I should just reduce them (as much possible). How much more time does a include function cost?
My home page loads very slowly. What is the way to make it load faster. (My homepage shows almost same content on home page for an hour daily (and it shows some different data in some sections only). Can I cache it..what is the best solution available for caching or some other way with which i can make things faster.)
If the information only lasts for one hour and will be changed, then it’s no reason using cache for that section of information, because the next time people visit, they will get another information and the cached one goes waste.
And, I don’t think there is much difference between including a file and including a file’s content in the current page, since they will all be executed similarly. The use of
include()just makes your code look cleaner, easier to control and maintain.Turning now to the question why your homepage loads too slow, I think it’s not a problem with your
include()'s, but could be a problem with your way of processing data. As somebody commented in your post, use Xdebug to find what makes your homepage slow.Good luck.
