eBharatJobs Performance Updates

eBharatJobs.com is one of India's most used job search engine. We continuously keep working on improving the user experience.

Recently we have been working heavily on optimizing the load speed of ebharatjobs. Google has announced that they are now considering page speed for ranking websites, so it becomes very important for websites to improve their loading time.

We first introduced APC for caching the files in memory. It helped a lot, since were were using few files and caching them in memory helped much more.

Drupal Module: ApacheSolr Attached Images

We have just released a new drupal module to index and search attached images of nodes.

An ApacheSolr helper module to index, query and retrieve attached images' file paths and ids of content nodes.

Benefits:
- You need not run resource intensive node_load() to get list of attached images for each items in results.
- Image paths / ids are available in apachesolr results array.
- Image path can be passed to imagecache preset

And this can be easily used in search results and other search screens such as themed "more like this" pages.

Dependencies:
