help, page too slow!

justins

Hello,

I've got this page that uses about 30 include() calls to call up data from 30 other pages. The final page that is produced has no images and is quite small (would probably only take a few seconds to load at 56k if it were a normal page). The problem is that a new connection is made to the server for each include() call. This takes several seconds each time, with the result that the final page takes minutes rather than seconds to load.

What I really want is for the entire page to be compiled on the server in one go and then sent back to the browser as a single page and therefore save all the time on the 30 seperate connections. Does anyone know of a way to do this?

I suppose the tidiest way would be to put the data on the pages into a database and call it from there but each page needs to be user updateble and password protected and my knowledge of php / mySQL isn't up to this....

Thanks,

Justin

Firstly why are you having 30includes in your page. Thats just stupid. You should firstly try and make less includes. I try to have a max of 5tops, and thats slow enough.

Hi,

All of the 30 pages need to be able to be viewed seperately and updated seperately with a password, as well as being able to put them togehter in one page. They're already set up to be updateable using a cgi script, but they have to remain seperate pages for this to work....
