    The cache files are at about 1000 megabytes! But each page loads very fast. Browse through the pages and let me know your experience.

    Caching can be a little high-maintenance, but perhaps the community is due for a nice lengthy caching / spam control tutorial?

    I’d love to see Symbiostock sites all running this fast…its refreshing really. I’ve learned a hard lesson not to compare sales, but since I’ve employed this I find mysales have gone up in the last week (probably because customers don’t need to be patient)

    Without caching, as you know, the page-crunch can be pretty slow.

    Please let me know if everyone is feeling “ready” for this tricky step or not.

    I am ready. I have WP super cache plugin activated. All its options are kind of confusing to say the least. I am sure I am missing quite a lot and would be interested in a lesson or two 😀

    I also have WP supercache activated but very little idea what to do with it other than activated.

    Yes, your site does load fast – mine varies considerably for me.

    If that is the general consensus I’m going to take some time to put together a good tutorial on it, as a final touch to people’s site’s performance now that everyone is nicely familiar with things.

    Without these things my site undergoes melt-down due to spammers ( get hundreds of them an hour brute-forcing my site)

    I quite often find WordFence is temporarily blocking someone who is trying to access my site too often, if I happen to notice and don’t like the look of them I permanently block them but have to check first as sometimes it is from Cascoly’s links

    I am ready. It’s very important for a positive customer experience, I think. I haven’t done it yet, because of the difficulties I’ve read about … so I would be very happy about a tutorial 🙂

    I’ll give it a shot. I’ve been bothered by slow loads on my site.

    Hi Leo, thanks for the tutorial – I dumped BB a long time ago as it stopped Paypal, now I know why 🙂

    I am in the process of installing Bad Behaviour

    Am I right to add
    Paypal.co.uk as well as paypal.com as I use the UK version

    Will
    66.211.170.66
    still be correct ?

    Good question, Christine. I installed Bad Behavior yesterday and the whitelist suggested by Leo doesn’t work for me.
    I’m using paypal.com/de and just received a mail from Paypal telling me that Insant Payment Notifications are not possible for:

    So for now I have deactivated Bad Behavior and reactivated Anti Captcha.

    Don’t give up! This is very important. 😛

    I found this for you guys, and I’ll update the tutorial:

    I did not understand the link to PP at all so did a trial purchase instead – it worked

    I do not know whether I needed paypal.co.uk as well as paypal.com although it seemed logical at the time, but now I know it works with both I am not touching it again 🙂

    Thanks for the lesson. Great to learn something new and put it right to use.

    I have completed the installation. Hope I followed the instructions correctly.

    sweetCaptcha has already stopped 8 spammer. So far I have not had a new client try to sign on so I don’t know if that part is working. I will have to setup a test user.

    WP Super cache is setup and has cycled thru the preload of the cache. Seems to have improved page loads by 50% or more, but that is just a guess. Are there stats collected anywhere that we can track page load times?

    Thanks!
