Cache (static) content from other website on my own webserver

By User



My website is loading slowly and I ran this test: http://www.webpagetest.org/result/120227_MD_3CQZM/1/performance_optimization/





Which indicates that files stored on gametrackers.com is not being cached. Apache and joomla already cache content that is on my server.





I'm using a script from gametrackers.com to show my teamspeak 3 statistics on my website 1 However this script sometimes loads slowly duo to issues with gametrackers.com server and that's why I'd like to store a copy of it on my own webserver as cache and refresh it every 30 minutes from the gametrackers website.





If the gametrackers website is down(which is quite common) it should keep the last successful cache check.





How would I do this with apache 2.4.1 and possibly php?





If its possible I'd also like to use css sprites because webpagetest.org indicates:





The following images served from gametracker.com should be combined into as few images as possible using CSS sprites.

  1. Tips For AllFebruary 28, 2012 at 7:24 AM

    CSS Sprites are a concept image resource where you use one image with several icons and other items positioned so you can with only one request load several images.

    If the images aren´t on your site, it will be very difficult to implement that, and to do so you need strict patterns.

    Check: http://coding.smashingmagazine.com/2009/04/27/the-mystery-of-css-sprites-techniques-tools-and-tutorials/

    If you have a vps / dedicated server you can use mod_pagespeed it does several combination of things that web site optimizers like, automatically.

    But don´t just believe that web site optimizers and testing tools like that are accurate.

    They just suggest measures that could help, some practical, some don´t.

    Good luck.

Slow Android emulator

By User
I have a 2.67 GHz Celeron processor, 1.21 GB of RAM on a x86 Windows XP Professional machine. My understanding is that the Android emulator should start fairly quickly on such a machine, but for me it does not. I have followed all instructions in setting up the IDE, SDKs, JDKs and such and have had some success in staring the emulator quickly but is very particulary. How can I, if possible, fix this problem?
