Fast by Default - Elgg Performances and SEO by NoELAb.com
1. Boost your Database performance
Every time your site references, for example your Site Address (like $CONFIG->wwwroot) via Elgg template variable, a query must be made to your database. This seems happens more often than you may realize, as there are a number of template variable and parameters that access the same kind of informations.
The plugin tries to eliminate these unnecessary database queries by enabling us to hardcode the values directly into the PHP construct. By defining the ELGG_XXX constants in your site’s plugin start.php file, you can boost performance by reducing the number of queries made to your Elgg database.
This is the way in this plugin. Look at ---> mod/noelab_seo_speed/start.php
/* Initialise the elgg seo speed */

global $CONFIG;
