Site speed

Post by IanKennedy »

Well it's been about a month now so here we go again. A poll about the speed. The poll will run for two weeks.

How can a site be "too fast" to load? :) All the latest updates to web browsers, Firefox 4/5, IE9, etc, promise faster page rendering as a main feature!

Anyway, I haven't had any difficulties with this particular site in the last month (I recently had an issue with the web in general which was resolved by re-setting my cable modem and router).

Like it's already been said, how can it be 'too fast'? :)

Other than this the site loads just fine even when I'm on a 3G wireless connection, so I'd say things are just about right.

It's very fast in a variety of browsers either over a wifi or a ethernet cable connection. It's also very snappy over wifi or 3g connection on my phone. I don't really see how much faster it's going to get on any of them.

So fast the hard drive implodes and you have a singularity to deal with? :lol:

It's fast enough for me.

Haven't had any problems with the speed since the change over. All going good :)

In the interest of balance I added the too fast categories, it seems someone thinks it is ;) Who thinks it's far too slow, and are they serious?

I voted and wanted to add that I have been using my iPhone to read and comment. It has been working much better of late then when I first used the mobile site. :)
