Statistica is actually a very simple application allowing you to track values in web.
Let’s assume you’ve found ANY value you want to track, e.x. currency rates, petrol price or laptop prices.
Now imagine you can load ANY website and manually and naturally SELECT a value you want to track. Statistica will add information about this value to it’s database and will track for example few times a day. Additionally, you’ll get a nice visualization of prices.
How is this possible ? It’s as simple as using XPath along with some XML Parser and properly configured database.
Statistica
As far as Statistica is not even in alpha stage, I will notice here on updates.

Wordpress Optimization is really simple.
“WordPress is a state-of-the-art publishing platform with a focus on aesthetics, web standards, and usability. WordPress is both free and priceless at the same time.”
Everyone uses WordPress, but hardly anyone tend to optimize its installation.
As WordPress is just a publishing platform (CMS), it may be optimized using tips from all Complex Optimization Guide chapters, but the chapter you are reading right now, is dedicated especially for WordPress.

AJAX
This chapter is strongly connected with few others, for example JavaScript Optimization, HTTP Requests Optimization or Compression / Caching.
AJAX is an acronym of words Asynchronous JavaScript And XML, so this is not a new technology, but a new approach to the existing technologies.

MySQL Performance with and without Query Cache

PHP Optimization
PHP Optimization may affect a server load really hard.
Optimized PHP code, needs less CPU, less memory and less load time, which means, that you spent less money for that purposes and your site users will be more satisfied from loading times.
You can split up PHP optimization in two parts. Server side PHP optimization, which will be covered in Server Optimization chapter, PHP Optimization subchapter; and code optimization.
Most of the tips mentioned below, is so called micro-optimizations. Micro-optimizations should be implemented by habit as they actually won’t dramatically speed up your website in most of real cases, unless you really mess up the code from the beginning to the end.

Cookie delay time
What is a Static Content?
Static content, is a content that is unchangeable, so your browser has to download it only once, and it is stored in it’s cache. When you request a static content, no cookies are sent, which results in lower traffic and higher speed. Example of static content may be images, which are actually unchangeable, or JavaScript/CSS files.
