When developing PHP applications, especially in scenarios involving real-time data streams such as live streaming, instant messaging, monitoring systems, or dynamic data updates, improving webpage responsiveness is essential for a smooth user experience. By default, PHP sends all output to the browser only after execution is complete, which can make pages feel sluggish, especially when handling large amounts of data or highly time-sensitive operations. To address this, the ob_flush function can be used to achieve immediate output, reduce latency, and improve webpage fluidity.
