Optimizing page loading
by chris Hodgson » Sun Feb 05, 2012 4:33 pm
I noticed the other day that the loading time of main index was a little slow, so I've switched a few bits off (facebook feed and random gallery image), in order to keep page size to a minimum, and load times to less than 2 seconds

A fraction over 2 seconds Chris.
A 'Veteran' -- whether active duty, discharged, retired, or reserve -- is someone who, at one point in his life, wrote a blank check made payable to his country for an amount of 'up to, and including his life.'

That's about what I'd expect Bob I did a page analysis this morning, and we were getting a bit too close to 1mb in size for complete page load. Got that down to about 600kb now, which is a lot more acceptable

I never thought it slow in the first place mate.

Yeah, it was no issue for me at 988kb in size. But when ya on a slower connection, or hitting peak web traffic, it can slow it down quite a bit. I'm currently getting 1.15 to 2.4 second load times in Europe, and 1.8 to 3.2 seconds from Texas USA Which when you compare that to other forums, it's about on the money 
It helps that our server is in the UK too, rather than some cheap n nasty thing, stuck in some aged data centre in the USA
