Some time ago I stumbled upon this post and I decided to implement it in the Fleb Framework. It’s about cache and preloading. I also optimized the initialization of a Website created with Fleb. You can now define which files need to be preloaded before the main site starts. There is a new node you can set in structure.xml, “preload_cache”. It’s optional. If set, the files (images and SWFs) are loaded to cache before the site starts.

Example:

<preload_cache>
<data file="mainBtn.swf" bytes="63351"/>
<data file="images/b1africanl001.jpg" bytes="16384"/>
<data file="images/b2architecturals018.jpg" bytes="16759"/>
<data file="images/b4architecture_interiors002.jpg" bytes="19810"/>
<data file="images/b6nature_animals_sea000.jpg" bytes="18644"/>
<data file="images/b10mechanics019.jpg" bytes="19458"/>
<data file="images/b12architecture_interiors002.jpg" bytes="16384"/>
<data file="images/b19nature_animals_sea039.jpg" bytes="13505"/>
</preload_cache>
