  • Suggestions for increasing speed

    Since a lot of people are complaining about how slow the site is, I guess it's time for us to dream up some schemes to improve the situation.

    1. Webpage optimisation. Put all the static stuff into external files that only needs to be loaded once. For example most of the JavaScript code can be placed in .js files and linked externally. Also put more of the formatting into the CSS files.

    2. Restrict file sizes. Except for the on-topic forums all attached files should be 50K or less.

    3. Remove unused features. The "rating" bit comes to the mind. This simplifies webpage layout and reduces file size at the same time.

    4. Ask for donations. So the pipe can be upgraded


    Any other suggestions?

    Is it possible to steal bandwidth? Maybe we could put some of our trolls to good use for a change.

          [time warp back to Januari 2000] Maybe Gamestats could send every Apolytoner a free DSL-modem, together with a free copy of civ3? [/timewarp back to Januari 2000]
