The overall responsiveness and reliability of PHP web applications is determined by a wide range of factors. PHP developers and web administrators often struggle with a patchwork of technologies to identify and remove bottlenecks and causes of failure. Zend Platform offers a comprehensive solution to this problem. At every stage of the application lifecycle it helps developers and administrators understand and improve the quality, performance and reliability of their PHP applications.

Zend Platform improves the performance of PHP applications by caching pre-optimized PHP byte code and content in a number of ways, including file or URL based page caching, client-side caching and in-memory or disk based data caching. In addition to the powerful caching functionality, Zend Platform also offers automatic output compression to save bandwidth, enhanced job-queues for deferred and offline processing and an improved download server for optimized delivery of large content and media files.

In this webinar we use a imaginary photo-sharing website, created using Zend Framework, to demonstrate the impact on performance and responsiveness by the various Zend Platform options.

PHP developers and administrators PHP websites who need to improve the performance of their web applications. They will learn how to detect the possible bottlenecks and solve them, using the latest release of Zend Platform, version 3.6.
