vBET and performance

[Marcin Kalak]

(Since 4.5.2) Turn off option Don't translate numbers. You'll find this option in AdminCP -> vBET -> Translation Options. Has little effect on performance, but it still requires an additional parsing characters. Anyway it is not reccomended to turn if off, because it increases the cost of translation.

Do not display the current date and time. Display the date and time causes additional translations every minute and additional queries to the database even if the data is already in cache.
In order not to display the current date and time:

1. Go to AdminCP->Styles & Templates->Search in templates
2. Search:

   $vbphrase[all_times_are_gmt_x_time_now_is_y]

3. Remove it from all the templates.

From now on, the current date and time will not be displayed.


Please note that other templates can display the time by other variables - in this case, you need to find the variable and remove/comment it.

Do not show any rotating text on page. Rotating text makes that vBET sends more text to be translated.
If you want to put on page rotating text put it in JavaScript (text in JavaScript is not translated) or in notranslate area.

(Since 4.5.3) Turn off option Add alternate tag. Enabling this option increases overhead time to add the tags and sends more data to users. By default, this option is disabled.
