for the subdirectory issue, see contemporaneous comment at http://drupal.org/node/101147 for a hack that is working for me.

@Cozmo: Boost has no problem with subdomains (after all, what else is http://www.livedomain.com but a subdomain of livedomain.com?). The limitation is that the Drupal site needs to be in the root directory.

In other news, the 5.x version is now available from drupal.org. And guys, please note that the right place (I should say, the one and only place) to request support for this module is at http://drupal.org/project/boost. Support requests in comments on blogs here and there will most likely simply be ignored by everyone involved.

This is an amazing module. Very, very, very needed.

My biggest question is - without it working on subdomains I personally would be very nervous to light it up on any production site. I always test in a staging area first (stage.LiveDomain.com.) then push live.

What is the recommended course of action?

Whati is the status of the Drupal 5.x port of the boost module?
Why port from drupal.ru isn’t commited to drupal.org (boost module)?

What about sites that display a different theme & layout for mobile devices? I had to turn caching off because it prevented anonymous users on a iPhone from seeing the optimized view since the standard home page was cached.

Justin, can you make the working Drupal 5.x module (with your homepage tweak) available? That’d be great. Thanks.

By the way, if you could use some SEO/usability/copywriting consulting, I am willing to barter to speed up the development of the module.

@Arto: I’d be happy to help maintain Boost, as well as some of the other modules that we’ve talked about. I’ll email you about these before too long.

Great article, Justin - and a cool logo to boot Glad to hear you persevered to get the module working for 5.x. It does indeed still have a lot of rough edges, but once you grok its modus operandi (and you clearly have) it’s based on pretty straightforward concepts underneath.

I’ve added a link to this article to my original blog post about Boost and to the Drupal.org project page, too. If you have the chance, would you please share your changes for 5.x in the issue tracker - this article certainly gives me a kick in the behind to get a release 1.0 of the module out for 5.x soonest. (The project co-maintainer position is also up for grabs if you want it.)
