I think it might be analytics slowing it down a bit, because I don't see anything else in your source.

Thanks for letting me know, that does help. I know that the standard deviation of that number would be a lot greater on the old version, since I know under times of heavier load I'd sometimes sit through load times of 5-10 seconds. At least this time around things will be more consistent. BTW- as I'm not familiar with Fasterfox- does that judge total page load? ie, does it wait for the ads to display, or is it just the duration to download the HTML file?

Either way, as I mentioned, there's a number of things I can do to help speed things up even more, so over the next week or so we'll hopefully see that number drop even further.

The old version in FF with Fasterfox, t1 connection used to load in 1.171 seconds, this one loads in 3.672 seconds, may not seem a lot to some but on a t1, really bad.

That is pretty strange... definitely shouldn't have happened. I'll look into it and get things transferred back over for you.

Hmm.. something very strange just happened here. I created a new account under the name of PxlGfx (my site is pxlgfx.com). I have another site called cornoncob.com and I wanted to claim the tutorials I submitted under cornoncob for pxlgfx. When I went to do this, something went wrong and for some reason, all the tutorials that were under the username cornoncob were moved over to the user, Ikzy: http://www.good-tutorials.com/user/Ikzy/submitted

I hope I didn't do anything bad.... -Dan

I have to say, that's really strange... is there anyone else that it just feels sluggish for? I've been on it all day and I can wholeheartedly say that it seems to be a dramatic improvement in speed, particularly in rendering time. If someone else can verify either way (faster, slower, or you simply can't tell), feel free to chime in.

I must say that it does load a bit slower for me, even on a T1 connection, but keep up the great work Zach.

Dylan- when you rate a tutorial in the Queue, it'll disappear on page refresh, sort of as a way so you don't have to remember which tutorials you've rated and which you haven't. It should have saved the rating- it just might not show up again in the listing.

Problem I'm having is in the que section when I rate a tutorial the rating I just gave doesn't show. Hope it gets fixed.

I'm kind of disappointed with the load time - it has increased considerably, at least for me. Hopefully it will pass :D

Otherwise, everything is looking good :)

Suggestion: I think this site needs a forum
