Re: Web Optimizer Plugin
@merz1: Textpattern is very simple — it’s its main benefit. But Yslow results (through a lot of other CMSes) are very impressive, right.
About docs: unfortunately there is no active team members who can help with docs, some of articles are available in Russian on webo.in (on in books speedupyourwebsite.ru), but I have a few time to translate them correctly into English. I’m going to enlarge docs number, but primary they will be focused on end-users (your understand), because developers can somehow dig into the underlying code (it’s partly commented :), end-users can’t.
You can try to translate pages automatically through Google — they have some valuable info (I’m going to translate them in the nearest time and publish in Wiki).

About caching: Web Optimizer isn’t aimed to allow ‘full page caching’ for any CMS. There is very simple and very fast caching for raw HTML pages, but it will be broken with any sign of complicated logic (i.e. POST requests or Cookie behavior). The best solution that I’ve seen is Joomla! 1.5 System-Cache plugin (sorry I have a few experience with Drupal) — it creates a cached pages depending on a lot of environmental settings (UA, cookie, params, etc). But I can recommend maybe only approach, not the solution itself.
Web Optimizer will have plugins API to allow its deep integration into CMS (hooks on install, uninstall, pre-cache, after-cache, pre-optimization, after-optimization). But you know there are a lot of requests from different sides and different groups of developers about features, docs, components, plugins, integration, etc. I will try to reserve Web Optimizer as a ‘pure external’ optimization software maybe with a lot of additional stuff to make its integration easier (specific components for well-known or paid CMSes).

Re: Web Optimizer Plugin
Thanks Nikolay. As we are already discussing some of my shared hosting issues in Multiple issues with PHP that works as CGI I can state that
- wbo is an impressive integrated package of different solutions
- I am impressed about the ease of installation, configuration and the automated update feature (see ‘important’).
Important: Keyword: Man in the middle attack. > I am missing security audits. How to detect if somebody hijacks wbo or parts of it to deliver bad content? Not to assume something but wbo is a pretty risky package.
Re. caching: My test show that raw full page HTML caching is working very well in a pretty standard Textpattern installation combined with wbo.
For the integration with TXP it would be great if a plug-in developer could take the existing asy_jpcache plug-in (the very basic remote control part of the existing full page caching solution) and adopt the existing code to use the new plug-in as a remote control for wbo to trigger cache purges or even more.
Tip re. issues & bug reports: code.google.com/p/web-optimizator is the place for filing reports.
