I made a new, simpler, less copyright infringing header, it’s more efficient and it’s just simpler.
It seems that many people who have been visiting the site don’t have a screen bigger than 1024×768, instead of changing the width of the blog back to the old size, I would like to say, get a new monitor and/or resolution… They’re like $300 at Office Works, and probably cheaper off the Internet.
I was just looking through the stats and you guys have been taking heaps of time to load this page! I can understand 10 seconds for non-US viewers (No I’m Aussie), but 40 seconds to 5 minutes is absolute BS!
So.. I’m going to make a cache system for this blog! It will convert everything to html, and update it only what’s changed, ie comments, edits, new posts etc… Instead of fetching the info from the database, sticking it into a php, then converting it to html to give you you…
Should be faster, and I mean SHOULD…
So far I have got the front page down from 288 seconds to 15 seconds… The feed now loads instantly…
Also, a normal post with a 1 700×300 thumbnail picture with about 200 words, takes less than 10 seconds to load!
It will be even slower the first time stuff is seen, cause that’s how I write my php.
I exported a list of what it’s done so far: (Note: the times were the ORIGINAL times for it to load 100%)
I have chosen to stay with k2 as the base for my theme, I don’t want to have to create EVERYTHING from scratch, so what you are looking at is what Michael’s Blog will look like for a long time, with a few changes of course…
AJAX (Asynchronous JavaScript and XML), or Ajax, is a web development technique used for creating interactive web applications. The intent is to make web pages feel more responsive by exchanging small amounts of data with the server behind the scenes so that the entire web page does not have to be reloaded each time the user requests a change. This is intended to increase the web page’s interactivity, speed, functionality, and usability.
AJAX is asynchronous in that extra data is requested from the server and loaded in the background without interfering with the display and behaviour of the existing page. JavaScript is the scripting language in which AJAX function calls are usually made. Data is retrieved using the XMLHttpRequest object that is available to scripting languages run in modern browsers. There is, however, no requirement that the asynchronous content be formatted in XML.
