WrongPlanet: New, incredible speed optimazition now in effec

Post Reply New Topic

Hi all,
Starting today (actually yesterday afternoon), you should notice WrongPlanet loading much more quickly. I worked with my network support specialists to implement efficient http cache-control headers which will cause our servers to tell your browser not to waste time downloading the same images (and color/font themes) over and over again. I also optimized the size of the stylesheet. Let me know if you experienced any issues due to these changes. You may have noticed weird color/border abnormalities yesterday evening but those were temporary and can be fixed by reloading the stylesheet.

We also implemented mod_deflate, an apache compression module which greatly reduces the size of pages sent to your browser.

Again, let me know if you notice a difference or experience any problems.

Thanks for the feedback in advance!

Oh SWEET. My parent's internet credit is running out, so not loading the same images all the time will greatly help! Thanks a lot!

Very good, Alex! I like this change!

Now, I know Wrongplanet will be used quickly, efficiently, and for good reason!

you can already see a difference in bandwidth:

Yes!

I'm noticing the results Alex. Great work!! and I'm on a slow connection atm
