Google’s New Speed Tool Makes Websites Run with Blazing Speed

Posted by on October 1, 2011 8 comments

Google initiatives towards making the Web faster are setting new dimensions now. Google latest release, A free software that could make many sites load twice as fast, is one such result.

Web performance is a primary issue today. Increasing the speed of a web page, whether by serving less bytes -through better compression or caching-, minimizing round-trips and optimizing the order of resource download for the browser as some ways to achieve high performance.

The software is known as mod_pagespeed is an open-source Apache module that automatically optimizes web pages and resources to improve the performance of their web pages when serving content with the Apache HTTP Server. The software will be automatically updated.

It includes filters for optimizing JPEG and PNG images & also  optimizes JavaScript, HTML and CSS stylesheets.

Google already offers a tool called Page Speed that measures the speed at which a website loads and suggests ways to make improvements.

Supported platforms

  • CentOS/Fedora (32-bit and 64-bit)
  • Debian/Ubuntu (32-bit and 64-bit)
  • Apache 2.2

Installation

Installing mod_pagespeed will add the Google repository so your system will automatically keep mod_pagespeed up to date. More on Installation[...]

To install the packages, on Debian/Ubuntu, please run (as root) the following command:

dpkg -i mod-pagespeed-*.deb
apt-get -f install

For CentOS/Fedora, please execute (also as root):

yum install at  (if you do not already have 'at' installed)
rpm -i mod-pagespeed-*.rpm

Where it can be used?

Performing on-the-fly optimization in the Apache™ 2 HTTP Server, it can help:

  • Webmasters
  • Companies using content management systems.
  • Web developers

“We think making the whole Web faster is critical to Google’s success,” says Rabbat, Product Manager for the new project.

Google tested mod_pagespeed on a representative sample of websites and found that it made some sites load three times faster, depending on how much optimization had already been done.

How to Backup and Synchronise Bookmarks in Mozilla Firefox

Posted by on September 23, 2011 No comments

If you bookmark a lot of websites & love to save important webpages as bookmarks, it’s always a good idea to have them backed them up somewhere. The best backup place, of course, is the Internet where all your bookmarks stay safe from any possible hardware failures that may cripple your PC.

We are going to How to effectively backup and synchronize your bookmarks in Mozilla Firefox, one of the most widely used web browsers.

Delicious for all!

Del.icio.usDelicious is no stranger to us, being the largest online bookmark organizing and sharing service. Meanwhile, Delicious also offers official add-ons for Firefox and Internet Explorer that keep the bookmarks in your browser and your Delicious account completely synchronized. If you’re using another browser, simply grab the Bookmark on Delicious bookmark-let and use it to save bookmarks in your Delicious account (rather than your browser).

You can add Inforids.com on delicious.

Of course, Delicious isn’t the end of the world, and you can choose from various other options if you want to. Read on!

Mozilla Firefox

We all love Firefox. With over 6000+ add-ons and counting, there are always more than one ways to get something done with this browser. And backing up bookmarks is no exception.

Like IE, manually backing up bookmarks in Firefox is dead simple.

Using Xmarks

Xmarks (previously Foxmarks) is a solid add-on that can sync your bookmarks and even passwords across multiple PCs. In addition, Xmarks can suggest tags for new bookmarks, and show information about your visited sites based on this bookmark database.

Xmarks is also available as Foxmarks for IE 6 / 7 and Safari 3(Mac OS X only), though with significantly less features.

The Best Free Powerful FTP clients for Website Administrators

Posted by on September 10, 2011 No comments

If you maintain a Web site or blog, you need a File Transfer Protocol (FTP) client to interact with the files stored on the host(Server). Mainly used for uploading and downloading files to and from a Web server, FTP clients can also download obscure files and documents from any number of servers around the world. The good ones make the process of uploading and downloading fast and painless with features that eliminate unnecessary steps and offer common security protocols. Instead files transfering, good FTP clients can give give you the power to mangae files at the both ends with the ability to perform more administrative actions on the files.

A number of different clients are available and found many that work quite nicely. But there are things in an FTP client, like drag-and-drop support and user friendly bookmark management might not be as high on your priority list. What’s most important is finding one that offers the best features for your specific needs.

There are plenty of FTP clients you can buy with all the features you need, but why pay if you don’t have to? Here are some free ones that make the process a little easier.

Best Free Powerful FTP clients for Website Administrators

FileZilla offers a paned, side-by-side interface in which you can drag-and-drop files to and from a specified server. It has all the advanced features you might need, like timeout detection and SSL secured connections. The site manager makes it easy to sift through your sites (if you have more than one) so updating specific pages is easy. You can also run multiple simultaneous transfers.

Core FTP LE is a feature-packed FTP client that’s free to home users and students. This one offers drag-and-drop transfers, a session manager, auto-transfers, and much more with an easy to understand interface. It’s a wonder this one costs nothing.

If you need a good FTP client or are looking to switch from your old one, check out one of these free programs. As always, let me know in the comments if you have a FTP client you like better (so I can use it!).

Top 3 Ways to Download Unlimited Videos from Any Website for Free

Posted by on September 7, 2011 No comments

Web is an ocean of videos & there are numerous video sites. We all love watching videos. YouTube has gained popularity from a wide range of audiences – from kids who love to watch cartoon shows to adults who browse through TV shows they miss. It uses Adobe Flash Video technology to display its videos. It now has three main video formats: standard, high and 720p HD. However, it does not usually show download links for its videos since they want videos to be viewed through their website. Third-party programs (browser plugins, software applications, and websites) now offer a way to download YouTube videos.

Here are the top 3 ways to download videos for free.

[1] VideoDownloader Mozilla Firefox Plugin

Can download videos from many video streaming sites including YouTube or any page that has embedded music or video. When installed, a small VideoDownloader icon will be added in the browser’s status bar and toolbar. Clicking the icon while navigating in a supported page will open a dialog box. You just have to right click and save the file into your system. The file downloaded is in FLV format.

Add to FireFox (Older Versions)

[2] Orbit Download Manager ‘s Grab++

Just Download Orbit Download Manager & install it. Its Free. Enable its Grab++ tool & reload the webpages with videos, music etc you want to download. It will automatically grasp them & allow you to save them onto your system.

Download Orbit Downloader

[3] YouTube downloader (Free)

YouTube downloader is the most popular third-party, free and is easy to use software for downloading YouTube videos. Once the program is installed, it will just ask for the link of the video you want to download. After hitting the OK button, it will ask you for the file name and where would you want to save the file. The software can also download videos from other sites such as Google Video and Yahoo Video. It can convert the downloaded videos to formats compatible to your iPods, PSP, cell phones, and other media players.

How To Use BitTorrent to Download Torrents | Step by Step Guide for Beginners

Posted by on July 5, 2010 2 comments

In my previous article on Torrents, Ultimate Beginners Guide for Torrents, Ken asked me this in his comment

I do not know how to start a Torrent, search for a torrent or download a torrent because I Know Nothing at all about Torrents and would like to know if you can help me, Please?

So, here is a step by step tutorial to

1. Download and Install a BitTorrent Client

2. Find and Download a File

If you want to learn from basics & understand more about torrents, torrent trackers, BitTorrent Clients, Limewires & how does torrent works? you can see this & can learn about a faster & better search engine for torrents, Kisckasstorrents here.

Download and Install a BitTorrent Client

  • Click on Save File.
  • When the download is finished, go to BitComet Setup(.exe File) double-click on it.
  • Click Run, Ok, Next, I Agree, I Agree, Next and Install. The program will install. Click Finish. The program will start up.

Find and Download a File

  • Click on the text field near the top left of the page, and type in your desired ebook, game name etc. Click Search.
  • You will be taken to a search-results page.
  • You will probably see a page like this, with a mix of files with different sizes.
  • Click on the name (widest column) of a torrent that sounds good. That row will expand to display some ads, a Download .torrent link, and information about the files that the torrent links to. Click on the Download .torrent link.

To the right you see a number of Seeds and Leechers for each Torrent. A Seed is a user who has the whole file and is sharing it. A Leecher is someone who, like you, is in the process of downloading the file.

So you’ll want to pick a version of the file that has lots of Seeds and Leechers, so that the download is faster and more certain to be successful.

  • If you have never downloaded a torrent before, a window will pop up, asking what you want to do with this file. Choose “Open with BitComet”, check “Do this automatically for files like this from now on” or “Always use this program to open similar files”.
  • BitComet should open automatically and ask you if you want to download this file. Click OK.
  • Wait patiently for the file to download. When it’s done, the file will be in the C:Downloads folder.

Install BitComet Free BitTorrent Client & Speed up Downloading[Video]

Looking on Common File Extensions

  • If the file is a .MP3, .RM then it is an audio file which you can play in a music player.
  • If the file is a .AVi, .MP4, etc, then it is a movie file you can watch on your computer or transfer to a DVD, iPod, PSP, etc.
  • If the file ends with .RAR or .ZIP, then it’s basically a kind of archive ZIP file, and you need to decompress it using WinRAR.
  • If the file ends with VOB, ISO, CUE/BIN, or if it’s a VIDEO_TS folder, then it can be burned onto a DVD for viewing on a DVD player.

Remember, downloading media on BitTorrent is illegal.
