What is the difference those?
AddType x-mapp-php5 .php
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php
AddType x-httpd-php .php
?
The page loading speed significantly decreases when I have AddType application/x-httpd-php .php
.
Why would that be?
The AddType directive maps the given filename extensions onto the specified content type. media-type is the media type to use for filenames containing extension .
The AddEncoding directive maps the given filename extensions to the specified encoding type. MIME-enc is the MIME encoding that is used for documents containing the extension. This mapping is added to any already in force, overriding any mappings that already exist for the same extension.
. htaccess files (or "distributed configuration files") provide a way to make configuration changes on a per-directory basis. A file, containing one or more configuration directives, is placed in a particular document directory, and the directives apply to that directory, and all subdirectories thereof.
htaccess file is usually present in your C:/xampp/htdocs/wordpress if you are in windows or /opt/lampp/htdocs/wordpress if you are on linux or mac if you can't find it simply... ( for Windows ) enable show hidden files in file manager...
It tells apache what mime-type to return when encountering that extension. See the docs here: http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/mod/mod_mime.html#addtype
Mime-types are used for several things in Apache.
With AddHandler
you can bind a handler (like PHP) to a specific mime-type. So using a different mime-type for PHP could result in a different parser being used.
