HTTP_REFERER

A friend of mine ask me if a server can know where we come from before we go to that server (referal link).
YES. This information is the field "HTTP_REFERRER" in $_SERVER of the coming request.
Here is an example:
http://113.161.96.198/referal/

For the reason of SEO, some guys do not want any server know about this referal link that points to their own server.
Here are some solutions:
HTML5:
Add norefer attribute
 No REFERRER

PHP redirect:
<?php
header( 'Location: http://113.161.96.198/referal/' ) ;
?>
.... lot of solutions lol

SQL query optimization

SELECT query {EXPLAIN | DESCRIBE | DESC}  We usually use this command to check to see if how many rows the query goes through. Especially for the INDEX column checking. Search LIKE '%key%' consumes more resource than LIKE 'key%' Denormalisation This database design helps to speed up the data reading. Because the SQL query no need to join data between tables.
