yappa-ng Extended Setup Information

Restrict Cache

Do you want to Restrict the cache to thumbnails and mini-previews?

The most stress on the server and the most loadtime-delay because of the resizing happens when the server has to resize 10 or more images at once "on the fly". This happens only with the Thumbnails and the Mini-Previews because these are the only ones with more than one shown at the same time. All other resize sizes get shown one after the other and in most cases transfer over the internet and loading into the browser exceeds by far the time GD or ImageMagick needs to convert the image.

On the other hand the thumbnails and the mini-previews need not much disk-space - they are really small!

If you have many images on your/the server and not much harddiskspace to spare use this option!

If you say "yes" to this question only the thumbnails and the mini-previews will get cached - all other resizing will be done "on the fly"!!

Important: To use this option you have to say "yes" to the option "Cache resized images" too!!!


--> Recommended setting for yappa-ng is: as you like and your free harddisk space permits :-)
