i have been try do this but i can not find where and what file to try it in

When a visitor to your site visits a page, it can takes around 200 – 500 milliseconds for the backend server to put together the HTML version of the page. During this time the browser remains idle. The flush() function in php will help by loading the partially ready HTML page to the browser and it can start fetching the components, while the backend server is busy with the rest of the contents.

To insert the flush() function in your site, open up the header.php file and find the </head> tag and insert the <?php flush(); ?> function right after it.

</head> <?php flush(); ?> <body>

sorry)) if you're looking for html document you need to do that in the html_document.html of your master pages.

tammy harris Nov 24 '15

no theme general html has the opening <body>
tag it is generated somewhere else

anything in general html is in between

<body>
general html
</body>

which is crazy as the general html in themes should have both tag

but none do

Tammy,

how is the result?

tammy harris Nov 24 '15

i dont know lol is to hard to tell maybe i need clear my browser cache or something

I wouldn't use this. With flush, you can't use gzip. Along with other drawbacks. Plus, most of the site is going to be cached on the second page load.
