Update
Ikipress is no longer being developed, instead one may checkout ‘Wordscript‘, which is multi-language project designed to interface with Wordpress databases directly via API’s that deliver JSON feeds without using any of the Wordpress codebase. Currently API’s have been written in PHP,Ruby, and Node.js. Versions in Perl and Python are planned.
What is Ikipress
Ikipress is a project that aims to re-engineer the way wordpress pages are delivered through advanced SQL statements. This allows Ikipress to take advantage of new mysqli features (like multiquery) to significantly decrease page load times, memory and the number of queries used to render the page.
What is myparse
Myparse is lightweight LAMP framework, Ikipress is a collection of themes, user variables, and a plugin that works with Myparse to create a flexible and easy to understand editing environment.
Sites can easily take advantage of full-page caching by uncommenting two lines in the config.php. When a page is cached, a connection is not made to the database, nor any user_vars or other libraries are loaded, just the index.php.
This permits pages to typically appear in .0001 to .0005 seconds and use around 120k of RAM.
Theming
Ikipress themes are stored in a table and work exactly like every other myparse template.
Theming does not require advanced php knowledge, but rudimentary knowledge of SQL and phpmyadmin is recommended to create more advanced templates.
