Website optimization

At the end of August and the start of September, a lot of work has been invested into the optimization of the Pepper&Carrot website. The server of the website had CPU issues during all summer and my host was starting to complain about the project on a weekly basis.

But thanks to the big contributions of Jookia and other fixes preventing hot-linking of resources; the website is now consuming less than 1/4 of what it was before. The structure is now ready to welcome more visitors! The number of visitors is increasing month after month and optimization like this is vital for the project. You can read the history of the fix here to see how it was done. This method will probably be interesting for all owners of PluXML blogs with high traffic!

In the process, I setup http://test.peppercarrot.com : a version of the peppercarrot.com website to test new code. This test area reflects the source code of the Git website repository here. This tool will help to welcome eventual (new?) contributors curious to work on the P&C website. That's all, thank you very much for all the visit. You are one of over 10,000 daily readers! If something is buggy, or doesn't render well on your device, please, let me know!
I don't have Google Analytics but a tool provided by my host to read the log (Urchin);
