but..
why does it do ob_start(); two times? Is it required or wans't you meant to do it?

"Minification": Use GZip. GZip > minification
Compiling JS: This is not actually compilation of JS it seems, rather "minification" as you so eloquently put it. GZip would cover this if you install it correctly.

I've made this a book mark as a reference just in case I need it 😁

You can't install APC on shared hosting. Most people use shared hosting right now. You could use both to save space (that's what I do).

You shouldn't have to cache, minify or all of that on a project you're hosting on a shared host, as Wolf said.

http://www.php.net/manual/en/mysqlinfo.api.choosing.php Wrote:It is recommended to use either the mysqli or PDO_MySQL extensions. It is not recommended to use the old mysql extension for new development, as it has been deprecated as of PHP 5.5.0 and will be removed in the future. A detailed feature comparison matrix is provided below. The overall performance of all three extensions is considered to be about the same. Although the performance of the extension contributes only a fraction of the total run time of a PHP web request. Often, the impact is as low as 0.1%.
