In this chapter, we learned the following performance tips:
Used the Throttle module to throttle our blocks and modules.
Used the Devel module to generate test content, users, and categories.
Configured caching for our Views and learned how to enable and disable caching per View. We also looked at how the Devel module returns information about our Views build times based on these cache settings.
Learned how to clear our Views cache.
Looked at how the Panels module uses caching and how you can enable caching per panel.
Let's take a break! When we come back in Chapter 5, we'll take a look at contributed modules that are built for specific types of performance monitoring. This will include the Boost, Memcache, DB Maintenance, Block Cache, Advanced Cache, and File Based Caching modules.
