using htaccess (mod rewrite) slow the site down?

Hello,

I am going to use mod rewrite on one of my site. I am just going to use this

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} s=(.*)&q=(.*)
RewriteRule search/page-%1/%2? [R=301,L]
RewriteRule search/page-(.*)/(.*)$ search.php?s=$1&q=$2 [L]

PHP:

My question is: does it make any difference on speed or does it have any other side effects?

Thanks

 

I wouldn't say so, but if there is any difference, it would be very small - Hardly noticeable!

 

Will not make any noticeable difference to the speed of your site.

 

Might be a tiny slowdown to account for the 301 Redirect. Also, the (.*) may not work as expected, put (.*?) if it doesn't.
