Zend Framework 2: performance optimization

Posted on Tags , ,

Nowadays the performance of a website is very very important for everything, user experience, Google and so on.

I have found nice PDF from one PHP conference in 2014 by Gary Hockin, this guy is Zend Framework contributor and made these awesome instructions how to optimize our Zend Framework 2 and how to use best practices.

This is the file Maximising Performance in Zend Framework 2

Some additions from me:

  • Siege – how to measure your performance.
  • Xdebug
  • View template map & Classmaps
    • For this, I have made simple deploy.sh bash script to do several things, one of them is to generate the template map
      #!/usr/bin/env bash
      
      # Defaults
      projectRootDir=$(pwd)
      GREEN='\033[0;32m'
      NOCOLOR='\033[0m'
      
      # Go to each module folder and execute template_map and classmap generators
      for i in $(ls -d module/*/); do
       # Exclude our base module
       if [ $i == "module/Base/" ]; then
       continue
       fi
      
       # Go to module directory
       cd ${i%%/};
       # Generate the template map and class map running PHP scripts
       printf ${GREEN}
       php ../../vendor/zendframework/zendframework/bin/classmap_generator.php -w
       php ../../vendor/zendframework/zendframework/bin/templatemap_generator.php -w
       echo "---"
       printf ${NOCOLOR}
       # Back to Root dir
       cd $projectRootDir;
      done
      
      # Do your other stuff, run migrations, clear cache, composer update etc.

That’s it, if you have any comments, your own ideas for optimizations or anything else, please write in the comments.
