PawBroon Posted April 3, 2002 Share Posted April 3, 2002 I'm tweaking some parameters to make your browsing even more enjoyable. IE, Faster... What I'm doing here is to allow the pre caching of MODs Previews while Incoming is loading. There shouldn't be any bandwidth bottleneck but I'd be glad if some of you fellas could go click on the INCOMING link of my latest update in News and check how quick the required page is loading. Once you're on the Previews for April, please click on some pics to see if the popups are instantaneous. Thanks for your help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mattias Posted April 3, 2002 Share Posted April 3, 2002 Page is loading quick, as does the pictures. ADSL connection. -- A very nice site by the way M. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PawBroon Posted April 3, 2002 Author Share Posted April 3, 2002 Thanks Mattias. I'm ADSL too so I couldn't judge but the previews are supposed to be very fast now once clicked. So guys, the more of you do that test, the better of the 56Kers and al... If you want to be extra sure as a comparison, click on some of March previews since only April has been tweaked for testing purpose. Thanks for your help and for making this a better site for all to enjoy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Måkjager Posted April 3, 2002 Share Posted April 3, 2002 Marcel... i clicked on the link in your sig to take me to M&M and it took me a count of 180 before all the buttons appeared on the page. This is way slower than before it seems to me..a poor 56k enduser Måk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PawBroon Posted April 3, 2002 Author Share Posted April 3, 2002 Woohoo! My plot to get rid of all Mac 56Kers is working. Thanks for this Paul. I'm afraid it's not ME though... Hadn't changed the home page or the way it would load. Just changed News and Incoming. So those 3 minutes of lagging might be either because of Wanadoo or because you tried just when I was uploading some tests or others. Glad you tried though. Do it again later on since it seems to be fast WinElse... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Måkjager Posted April 3, 2002 Share Posted April 3, 2002 Great Marcel...only took a count of 90 this time Mb my wee country should declare war on some of our friends...mb then the victors will see fit to give us affordable broadband access Måk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PawBroon Posted April 4, 2002 Author Share Posted April 4, 2002 Anybody else? Quite frankly, it would be nice of you to speak up. After all, it does load fast for me and considering I'm the one doing the Reviews, I'm meant to know what's in them beforehand anyway. Don't be so passive all of you non broadbanders. If you can't even be bothered to give your opinion, why should I tweak the site for you to browse it faster? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marco Bergman Posted April 4, 2002 Share Posted April 4, 2002 On a 56K modem from the far end of the Earth, incomming page definately loads faster. Biggest holdup now is the animation on the title page; normally I wait for the buttons to appear and click on, bypassing it entirely. ( animation takes up to a minute to load, usually.)

Splinty Posted April 4, 2002 Share Posted April 4, 2002 I got about the same results as Marco. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Radar Posted April 4, 2002 Share Posted April 4, 2002 I got about the same results as Marco and Splinty. Another point about the animation..the words flash by so fast I can't read what it says. The buttons came up rather fast but the page as a whole was held up by the animation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PawBroon Posted April 4, 2002 Author Share Posted April 4, 2002 Ok guys. Thanks for your feedback. Being an ADSL user, I am hard pressed to realize how cumbersome it could be for you to load. Dreamweaver told me that this page was to load in mere seconds but I guess it was far off the mark. Now that was for the Homepage which will be changed on the spot. Do you guys load News and the LATEST Incoming WHEN CLICKED FROM THE LINK in News fast? The tweak is supposed to pre load in cache the previews so that you 56Kers would have an almost instantaneous popup when you click on April's previews. If it's faster, then I'll pre cache all the other previews reached from News. Thanks again to all of you who took some time to go check my site and gave me feedback.

Stoffel Posted April 4, 2002 Share Posted April 4, 2002 wanadoo basic cable connection here(115,2kbps) took me 31 seconds to load the entire page:) Henk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Apache Posted April 4, 2002 Share Posted April 4, 2002 Definitely quicker. 20 secs for front page. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PawBroon Posted April 4, 2002 Author Share Posted April 4, 2002 Yup. I've changed most things. No more Flash. Pre loading of most pics etc. Incoming should be improved some for example. As a side note, MODs & MODers has been updated AGAIN. Wait for one SuperTed to announce it... Thanks for your feedback mate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Apache Posted April 6, 2002 Share Posted April 6, 2002 Really fast!!! 4 seconds for front page, 3 seconds for mods! (cache cleared before visiting site too). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PawBroon Posted April 6, 2002 Author Share Posted April 6, 2002 Thanks for your feedback Apache. I guess I'll be doing further updates this way then. I hope it's better for all of you 56Kers too. As a Rule of Thumb, if you find anything trully ungodly in M&Ms, just drop me a mail... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
