When I first started using CakePHP a few years ago, we had a lot of complaints about speed. If you do some Google searches comparing CakePHP to other frameworks, it seems to be near the bottom of the pack. I previously wrote a few articles on optimizing CakePHP here:
- Optimizing CakePHP Websites
- Caching Queries in CakePHP
- Optimize your CSS and JS with CakePHP in minutes
Implementing the following tips certainly helped; however, if there are issues with the core framework response time, no amount of optimization will truley help. So after reading up on CakePHP 2.0 and it's recent speed improvements, I wanted to do some straight CakePHP comparisons. Below are 10 load times for CakePHP 1.2, 1.3, and the new 2.0. These load times are of a brand new install simply loading the default home view, no database connection or any model loading.
As you can see, between CakePHP 1.2 and 1.3 there were some significant speed improvements. Almost every request was below 0.1 seconds where 1.2 only had only one request below 0.1!
So far, there doesn't seem to be much of an improvement between 1.3 and 2.0, but there is still time. Keep up the good work CakePHP dev team! Published on Mar 7, 2011 Tags: CakePHP Tutorial
