I've been doing some optimising of this grand old website this evening to try and improve how fast pages appear.

This is a visual comparison to how fast the homepage of the site took to load before and after my optimisations on a slow 3G connection.

I'll be interested to know if people have noticed a faster loading experience of pages.

P.S. The code for this website is as old as 2002 in some places, and we are working on producing a new version of the site which will be responsive etc, optimised for mobile screens

Mine definitely loads faster - shame about the Diary though - no more Birthday threads.

Great work!

I thought I was imagining it 'til I read this thread; definite difference.

Not sure about speed, but trying to read the Popovic topic in PT in an iPhone and 4 times it pushed me to the app store to download Ladbrokes, William Hill, some Titan game and another! Gave up in the end 😔

I took this thread title too literally I am afraid.

I took enormous amounts of speed then went into Transfer Talk - it didn't improve it at all, in fact quite the opposite
