We pointed out that their home page was loading data from about 100 twitter feeds, 30 facebook items, snapchats, blogs and other assorted crap before the page would even start to render. We had them disable that stuff and lo and behold! It rendered in less than a second. Standard rule: Do NOT make your page rendering block on external events, feeds, whatnot. People will blame your page, not the events that are blocking it. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - Rick Stevens, Systems Engineer, AllDigital ricks@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx - - AIM/Skype: therps2 ICQ: 226437340 Yahoo: origrps2 - - - - If your broker is so damned smart...why is he still working? - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to users-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
