This repo just contain some PHP + JS files that runs my personal page at http://joseluisnuñez.es. It just use some nice jquery plugins for visually shown some links to my online profiles and randomly retrieve some high quality image from unsplash.com for the background.

It also implements a light PHP-based URL shortener using a MySQL server.

If you like it, feel free to clone the repo and/or upload the files to your webserver. Remember: 1.- Change values in custom.php to match your environment 2.- If you want to configure and use the shortener, create a database in your MySQL server (see my own values in the custom.php file). 3.- Be sure that the .htaccess is considered by your web server (it includes some rewrite rules that are required for the shortener). Include these lines in your Apache configuration file <Directory "/path/to/your/root/document"> Options Includes AllowOverride All Options FollowSymLinks 4.- Decide the method you will use to implement your shortener database (choose between File-backed database and the MySQL engine) 5.- In case you prefer the MySQL engine, create a database and a user to interact with it. Please edit the config file and update values for the database name, user and password 6.- You can now enjoy your page

In order to measure your system performance and chose between File system or database, run this quick test

1. Choose an URL that will be the used to compere between a direct acccess or access through shortener
2. Select the proper values in the config file to use the Database. Run the shortener for the URL chosen on 1
3. Change the config file to use the File System and run the shortener for the same URL
4. Edit the test.php file at /features and change the URLs used as parameters for the function pingDomain at the end. Use your own URL chosen in 1 and the short versions got in 2 and 3
5. Check the number of iterations (line 18)
6. Use the browser to execute the test.php script. ou'll get a CSV file that can be imported in excel
7. Calculate the average time of getting a responde (columns 2 and 3). It will be the faster configuration the one where you get the lowest average

As a reference, I run it with these results

• Iterations: 1000
• Average time in seconds of direct response for http://www.google.com: 0,0205349
• Average time in seconds of response using the File system as an ad-hoc data base: 0,0761040
• Average time in seconds of response using the MySQL database: 0,0766574
• Time in seconds longer of the worst option (MySQL database in my case): 0,0005534
