Routinely, databases have been sent to the Performance Team for analysis. Our YSlow and PageSpeed scores have improved significantly. From Tiki4 to Tiki11, there has been significant investment in performance enhancements. Since Tiki11, we think Tiki is generally just as fast or faster than any other comparable PHP web application out there for real World scenarios. |

If we fail to improve the speed, we will publicly acknowledge that the other application is faster and credit you. Tiki already claims to be the:
