Fast CSS Loading for XenForo

Optimizing website performance is crucial, and one effective way to achieve this in XenForo is through fast CSS loading. Our solution leverages a cache.php file to create and serve CSS caches directly to users, bypassing the standard XenForo rendering process. This approach significantly improves performance, reduces server RAM usage, and minimizes file transfer sizes through advanced compression.

All CSS paths on your site are stored as static files in the internal_data/css directory. For each CSS path, two types of files are generated: the standard CSS file and a pre-compressed Gzip CSS file at level 9 - the highest compression level - ready to serve instantly to users.

These cached files are managed automatically. They are created or deleted dynamically based on the CSS paths used on your site, ensuring that users always receive the most up-to-date styles without unnecessary server overhead.

By using this fast CSS loading system, XenForo websites can experience reduced latency, lower memory consumption, and faster page rendering, enhancing the overall user experience while maintaining simplicity and reliability in CSS delivery.

Installation Steps:
1. Download and Configure cache.php

• Download the provided cache.php file. (XenVn Setting -> Attachments -> Attachment Download Acceleration -> Fast Display Images)
• Upload cache.php to the XenForo root directory.

Adjust: define('CACHE', ['image' => true, 'css' => true]); to select working modes. For example:
define('CACHE', ['image' => true, 'css' => true]); -> Default. Fast Display Images and Fast CSS Loading for XenForo.
define('CACHE', ['image' => true, 'css' => false]); -> Only Fast Display Images for XenForo.
define('CACHE', ['image' => false, 'css' => true]); -> Only Fast CSS Loading for XenForo.

To view X-Memory-Usage header information, set:
define('DEBUG', true);
