Question:

How can I optimize EE?

Answer:

EE specific things to do:

* See the Data and Caching Performance section of the EE manual.
* You can try to Reduce Queries.
* Use Template Caching (2-10 minute caching on the heaviest hit pages and 10-60 minute caches for “static” things such as header/footer usually works well).
* Be sure to turn on Template Caching for embedded Templates, as well.
* Use the disable= parameter in your {exp:weblog:entries} tags.
* You can go to Admin -> SQL Manager -> Manage Database Tables. Scroll to the bottom and repair all tables. After you do that, go to that same page and optimize the database.

Further Info

When you do something such as turn off referrers, you turn off the queries and the processing done when that referrer logging is done. If you are caching database queries there is a certain amount of work required by EE to read, check, and store those cache files, so if you reduce the overall number of queries you stop EE from needing to cache those queries as well.

General server optimization:

If you install Zend Optimizer and turn off the option to run encoded php, you should see a nice lowering of CPU usage.
