fighting for TYPO free code


Take the survey

Whoami

My name is Michiel Roos. I currently work for Netcreators in Holland. I like tech stuff like Linux, TYPO3, Gumstix and Roombas but I also like to dig in the dirt and try to grow veggies and other things. Some of you may know me as author of nc_staticfilecache and maintainder of the DAM project.

Tue, 16 Jun 2009

YSlow says:

Enable far future expires headers for static resources

Mon, 15 Jun 2009

Web pages are becoming increasingly complex with more scripts, style sheets, images, and Flash on them. A first-time visit to a page may require several HTTP requests to load all the components.
