[OpenLayers-Users] Alternatives to get rid of WFS layers

[Phil Scadden]

I've posted here a number of times on WMS/WFS. My advice is never use WFS when you can do WMS instead. In particular, you use WMS for all display. I use WFS when I want attribute information and I get that on demand with getfeature queries, which can be onHover. If there isnt too much geometry, then I return WFS geometry and draw it to show selections etc. but for objects with dense geometry SldSelect works better. Rethink the application as WMS and you will get far better performance.
