Server Optimisation

[anthony]

The server may present some issues at times whilst optimisation occurs over the following weeks.

I apologise that this may inconvenience some, but the end benefit is a more stable, faster site for all concerned.

All servers will be optimised accordingly to improve total end benefit.

Don't freak out if you see a strange admin name appear... it is part of the server optimisation happening.

I've unlocked this now after optimisation has begun, to get feedback.

Do you notice any noticeable improvement in page loading?

Tests before and after are now showing half the time page speeds for the USA (2 to 2.5 seconds), around 3 to 3.5 seconds for UK, Australia, as a comparison against set pages before and after. That is with ads too... so premium members that don't show ads should experience faster again, as ads slow down page loading. Pages with Adsense, they will be worse, as Adsense loading is outside of a websites control.

Yes, @anthony pages seem to be loading alot faster...

Thanks. I've actually even noticed the difference on my mobile, which is just nice.

I have a server tech slowly working through it all to find user performance enhancements. He is doing an amazing job.

It's loading incredibly fast for me, even with all the admin bells and whistles on.

Does seem to be a bit quicker on my mobile up here in Canada.

Now, if you could find a way to make winter go by faster, you'd be my personal hero. ;):coldfeet:

Hi. Is this why I can't add any new media when I try to post photos in 'media' ?
