PHPRunner Tips and Tricks

Just thought I'd share two quick tips that I use with PHPRunner and Websites.

  1. Quickly clearing cache. (I am using PHPRunner.com for the example but you can use it with sites you are developing to see your changes.)
  2. Resizing your PNG's and JPG's for faster page loads.



  1. In Google Chrome, turn on your developer tools by hitting the F12 key.


Then take your mouse and click and hold on the refresh icon next to the URL bar. A new menu will appear after a few seconds.


Then select your option to clear the cache for just this page. (I like this better because it is quick and you can clear just one page's cache, you must be in the developer tools (F12) for this to be seen).
2) Second quick tip is what I use for graphic file size reduction.

There is a free website / utility, www.TinyPNG.com , that allows you to drag and drop your graphics up to their site and it automatically optimizes them.

I have seen other websites that offer this too but for me, this one is the easiest to use.
