WordPress Turbo with Google Gears and WP Turbo

January 11th, 2009 admin Leave a comment Go to comments

After login,  there is a “Turbo” link on the right-top corner before the link of  “Log Out” in your siteadmin page. If you never click it, you should read the follow content I’ve written today(Jan. 11, 2009).

Part I: turbo of admin pages

First, click “Turbo” will lead you to install Google Gear. If you don’t know what’s it, let the dog(Google’s nickname) find it.  Turbo will accelerate your web browser, because it will download and cache the pages you often visit. This “Turbo” link is for turboing your admin pages.

Second,  after installation of Google Gear, restart your web browser, re-login siteadmin page, click “Turbo” again(maybe different), and enable the Gear, mark your website trust. Now, the content will be updating. Waiting, waiting and waiting…, don’t quit before it finish. We’ve finished the part one, siteadmin pages’ turbo.

Third, this is an option, bookmark “Press This” in your tools page. The URL maybe like this

javascript:var%20d=document,w=window,e=w.getSelection,k=d.getSelection,x=d.selection,s=(e?e():(k)?k():(x?x.createRange().text:0)),f=’http://www.yourwebsite.com/wp-admin/press-this.php’,l=d.location,e=encodeURIComponent,g=f+’?u=’+e(l.href)+’&t=’+e(d.title)+’&s=’+e(s)+’&v=2′;function%20a(){if(!w.open(g,’t',’toolbar=0,resizable=0,scrollbars=1,status=1,width=720,height=570′)){l.href=g;}}setTimeout(a,0);void(0);

Part II: turbo of website pages

Fourth, let’s turbo webpage part using a plugin named “WP Turbo”, which is written by a Chinese. The following “Read the rest of this entry »” content is copied from his website.

Refer: http://blog.istef.info/wp-turbo/

Fifth, Go to admin page, modify theme according the guide, add code

<?php if (function_exists(‘wp_turbo_button’)) wp_turbo_button(‘Turbo!’); ?>

in your header or menu php source file.

Congratulation! You’ve turboed your WordPress. If you want know the effect, please click “TURBO!” on this blog’s menu.

Introduction

WP Turbo is a WordPress Plugin, which can make your blog super fast. WP Turbo can find all static files in your current theme and active plugins automatically and then store them locally with Google Gears on the visitors’ computers. After install and enable WP Turbo, all needed static files will serve directly from visitors’ computers but not your server (to be honest, they need to download them all at the first time they visit your site). This can siginificantly reduce the page loading time, which may give your visitors better experiences.

In addition, if you’re holding a really busy site, WP Turbo can reduce your server and bandwith consuming effectively.
