Slow links: Fix for FastCGI servers
On a small handful of servers, links are slow to redirect. This fix works on some servers using FastCGI. If you are not sure if this applies to you and your links are loading slowly, give it a try.
Create a file /gotrythis/.htaccess with the following line and check your links.
RemoveHandler .php
Check your links after. If they stop working altogether or if the domain is no longer syncing or reachable from the dashboard, remove the .htaccess file above.
Details:
This fix will work for servers using FastCGI, which does not allow for asynchronous requests, thus causing the links to load slowly. It tells your server to parse .php files in the /gotrythis/ folder with the default PHP handler, instead of FastCGI.
More Help:
If you are creating this file on your local computer and using FTP to upload it, you will need to name the file htaccess.txt locally and then rename it to .htaccess after you upload it.
