General Site speed
Hi All
We've made a few changes today which should *hopefully* see improvements in speed for people on slow connections.
The change was made at about 15:25 today. Could you let us know if you can tell a difference in speed either good or bad, and let us know what speed connection you have.
Note. There is a slight possibility that it will actually be very slightly slower for high speed connections, although it is likely that it's quicker for everyone.
Cheers
Simon

Well Simon, I was going to say that it's no different for my 1mb connection, but having pressed the poll button, it seemed to take ages to register.

Have you done something to NSR as the layout and Forum Jump bit is completely different to other forums for me. More like the old SN layout?? Very top left of page reads lov="#FFFFFF>dyno Sorry if I have posted this in wrong place. DL
PS I am set in classic mode. Can't comment on speed as I find this varies in the day.

Seemed a bit better on the shat shared 512k connection at work, can't tell any difference at home (1mb). However, IE is still a lot slower with the pages (when doing back etc) than Opera!

I think the render rate is a lot quicker, but then again I know whats been done
Click to start downloading rate will still be the same (be it about 100th/ms slower) as I guess server load is quite high, but the drawing of the physical pages should be a lot more nippy under all connection types.
Anyone got a < 512k connection care to comment?

nope, definitely slower now, tried it at home (pc/opera - 1mb) and at work (mac/safari - 512k)
seems to take ages to decide to go to a page and i also get a weird redraw problem at home when the correct fonts don't show up and i get Times

Actually seems slower on 2MB connection.
Also some pages are being corrupted when using back button on IE 5.5 or IE6 - header information messed up so style of page is missing.
Back to the drawing board maybe?

Simon - it might be interesting to have a poll on who uses:-
1. Which browser to access ScoobyNet
2. What type of connection - dial up/Broadband/Cable/LAN - and what speed.
Just so you can assess how each category of user is affected re site speed.

i'm still experiencing problems - feels like i'm on 56k not 1mb seems to want to re-cache all the icons everytime a page refreshes

hmm.. that's odd. I'll check that out.
I'm just trialing GZIPing all the pages prior to them being sent to you (if you have a browser that supports it - which most do I think). This means that there will be marginally (like a tenth of second or something) before you get anything, but then the amount of data you need to download is compressed so is much smaller. It SHOULD again improve the speed for slow connections.
The downside is that it doesn't render anything on the page until you have the whole page downloaded. So it's a difficult balancing act.
I have a feeling we'll switch it back off, unless people report much better performance.
It also saves us a fortune in bandwidth, but we already have the bandwidth costs covered, so we're not too worried about that.
All the best
