Url forwarding

Post by sabety »

We are creating our home page around a vortex script to inlcude some dynamic content. Using url forwarding, we point the root to our vortex script. Do you recommend this? How does this impact server performance?

The other option is to create a static html home page each time home page content is created in the database, but this is obviously more work in terms of timing and scripting. I thought about php or SSI, but I think John or Kai warned against this due to the performance hit, and I can see why.
thanks

The static-page or server-conf redirect to a Vortex script is probably the most efficient mechanism.
