First thing you should do before deploying your application to production environment
is to disable debug mode. A Yii application runs in debug mode if the constant
`YII_DEBUG` is defined as `true` in `index.php`. Debug mode is useful during
development stage, but it would impact performance because some components
cause extra burden in debug mode. For example, the message logger may record
additional debug information for every message being logged.
`YII_DEBUG` is defined as `true` in `index.php` so to disable debug the following
should be in your `index.php`:
```php
defined('YII_DEBUG') or define('YII_DEBUG', false);
```

### Enabling PHP opcode cache
Enabling the PHP opcode cache improves any PHP application performance and lowers
memory usage. Yii is no exception. It was tested with APC extension that caches
memory usage significantly. Yii is no exception. It was tested with

By default PHP uses files to handle sessions. It is OK for development and
small projects but when it comes to handling concurrent requests it's better to
switch to another storage such as database. You can do so by configuring your
application via `protected/config/main.php`:
```php
return array(
// ...
'components' => array(
'session' => array(
'class' => 'yii\web\DbSession',
// Set the following if want to use DB component other than
// default 'db'.
// 'db' => 'mydb',
// To override default session table set the following
// 'sessionTable' => 'my_session',
),
),
);
```
You can use `CacheSession` to store sessions using cache. Note that some
cache storages such as memcached has no guaranteee that session data will not
be lost leading to unexpected logouts.
