Hi, i noticed on my sites and also on other processwire sites, that the time to the first byte is quite long (> 500ms). Is there a way to speed up this waiting time, without using plugins like ProCache? i benchmarked some sites from the showcase and from Processwire weekly and nearly all of them perform bad at First Byte Time. is this related to Processwire or just standard behaviour for php/cms sites?

Great site! I noticed the fast loading times (especially "time to first byte"). do you use ProCache or any other caching solution? thanks.

@felix thanks for these great ressources! do you use or is it possible to use the processwire template caching with flush and/or critical css? thanks!

i didn't fully understand the purpose but it sounds like i could use this in one of my next projects. danke!

@kongondo thanks!

yeah, i've set it to 4 (just to make sure it's high enough), but the parent item is only marked current, when i include the children (include_children => 1). but, with these settings the childpages are also included in the html of the menu, which i don't want. here are my settings: $menuOptions = array( 'current_class' => 'current', 'include_children' => 1,//show 'natural' MB non-native descendant items as part of navigation 'm_max_level' => 1,//how deep to fetch 'include_children' 'current_class_level' => 4,//how high up the ancestral tree to apply 'current_class' ); thanks!

Sorry to bother you, but i have a question regarding the current menu item. I know, you discussed this with dazzyweb, but i couldn't the right answer. I have a projects overview page with multiple projects underneath. I just want to include the overview page in my menu and not all the projects. But i want to mark the parent page (project overview) as current, when i'm on a child page (project detail). Is this possible? How would i do that? Thanks!

Sorry to confuse you. ;-) These are my settings for Pia. Just for completeness, here are the other image related modules i use: Images FocusArea Image Extra What can i do to help you further with this issue?

Hallo Horst, I did a small Screencast to show you my steps to reproduce this error: http://cl.ly/3p0b411B441L I hope it's useful. I also just updated to the latest dev-version, but the error still remains. Thanks!

I used Slick on several projects and it worked really well. There's also http://www.idangero.us/swiper/ which is similar to slick but with more options regarding the transitions and layout.

I got an error when i tried to crop an image with the new processwire croppingfeature and PIA installed.
