Really useful way to take stress to you server is sending to the browser proper header establishing when your content will expire and until when needs to be cached.
Imagine how many less request you will have since the browser have that info already cached!
How to do it in PHP, just put this code at the top of your code, before anything it’s output.
$expire=60*60*24*1;// seconds, minutes, hours, days
header('Pragma: public');
header('Cache-Control: maxage='.$expire);
header('Expires: ' . gmdate('D, d M Y H:i:s', time()+$expire) . ' GMT');
header('Last-Modified: ' . gmdate('D, d M Y H:i:s') . ' GMT');Just be aware of the time you put, if your site needs to have the latest fresh news it may be not be agood Idea to use more than few minutes expire.

Today is the 1st year birthday of Open Classifieds.
Actually the idea it’s older but the first release (0.8) it’s just 1 year old.
Since then there’s been more than 16.000 downloads and as far as I know few thousands of sites currently using it ;)
I want also to use this post to ask for help.
The growth of downloads and forum posts it’s been increasing considerable. This brings lot of work…
I need help to continue developing and to maintain this soft.
Currently the 2.0 version is not even started due to the lack of help.
Also here there’s a list of things you help with!
- Development
- Design
- Documentation (the FAQs are really old v1.5.4)
- Translate the site to any other language
- Donations to pay hosting!
- And any other kind of help it’s welcome.
UPDATE:
Chi, an Australian friend of mine, did this awesome new design for OC, but needs to be coded to HTML+CSS, after that I can make it work in OC ;)

BTW I’m at the Campus Party Europe, having lot of fun ;)
