Super-fast-website!?!?!

mc says:
How did you guys make your website so fast? I mean I thought it was mainly sensible caching and javascript usage to start with, but the forums are lightning fast too?

Very impressive product and setup regardless. Thanks.

I agree. Super quick. Perhaps it's the AJAXy goodness.

Let's just say that I'm a little bit... performance and scalability obsessed.

A lot of time was spent ensuring that we could handle many users with a limited amount of resources.

By the way, the caching infrastructure is actually turned off right now. It gets faster... ;)

No kidding...this site loads pages faster than Google's homepage. Nice work. Where did you get those site-optimizing skillz?

i think it's the use of CSS that's making it leaner and load faster; and the use of DIV tags.

With CSS, once a site's CSS is downloaded for a session, the browser doesn't need to re-download it again. So the next time you browse a different page on this website, only the web page is downloaded (the CSS is cached in the browser) and all what's needed is rendering it.

In fact, this page is only 1.98KB so far. blazing fast even on a dial-up connection. :)

I left Voo2Do mainly because it was so slow. This site is a dream to use.
