In case you have performance issues and your 'Tavi installation feels slow, these are things you can try out to speed things up. Please report back what helped or if you have other ideas.

  1. Install a PHP cache. This will reduce the bytecode compile time. See [php.net] for a list of products.
  2. 'Tavi does reverse name lookups to save hostnames with the revision history of a page. Try and replace all occurrences of gethostbyaddr($REMOTE_ADDR) with $REMOTE_ADDR.
  3. Link to the CSS stylesheet directly in template/common.php instead of going over ?action=style
  4. Dispense with the logo in the upper right corner, especially if it comes from a different server.
  5. If your wiki comprises of many pages the maintainance function that is called on every page view may be the problem. See TaviSuggestions/MaintenancePractices for possible solutions.
  6. Make sure the webserver and database run on the same host. This should be the case in most hosting setups anyway.
