C...I'm no coder, so most of that stuff is out.<br /><br />Chatwing stays on the main page, because no one ever goes anywhere else ;)Tenkarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05159289652051155824noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1724254580047847936.post-48326514731715400442015-02-20T15:30:01.314-05:002015-02-20T15:30:01.314-05:00Chrome Developer Console Audit suggests the follow...Chrome Developer Console Audit suggests the following. Where you can't combine scripts (such as 3rd party ones) you might consider cutting back on ones you don't really need.<br /><br />Network Utilization<br />1. Combine external CSS. There are 4 CSS files from www.blogger.com that can be combined into 1 file to go from 4 network requests to 1.<br />2. Combine (or remove some) external javascript. 15 Javascript files are served from apis.google.com.<br />3. Combine (or remove some) external javascript. 4 Javascript files are served from www.blogger.com.<br />4. Combine (or remove some) external javascript. 4 Javascript files are served from chatwing.com.<br />5. Combine (or remove some) external javascript. 3 Javascript files are served from translate.googleapis.com.<br />6. Combine (or remove some) external javascript. 5 Javascript files are served from www.google.com.<br />7. chatwing.com/comet is causing the site to be slower than it should be. The audit suggests gzipping it but that isn't an option. My suggestion would be to remove this from the front page at least.<br />8. There are a lot of caching issues on the site (172 files have problems). Either their cache expirations are too fast or they aren't being cached at all. If you need a list, I can send you one or run an audit on your end.<br />9. Make sure your CSS files are loaded before any JS files. This lets the CSS files download in parallel instead of waiting for a script to load. Specifically these are 3681447274-widget_css_2_bundle.css, authorization.css, and translateelement.css.<br />10. There are many other smaller optimizations you can make as proposed by the audit.lowdownfoolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05040609614116029067noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1724254580047847936.post-75800827578003724162015-02-20T15:04:16.297-05:002015-02-20T15:04:16.297-05:00I'll be working on a few more tweaks ;)I'll be working on a few more tweaks ;)Tenkarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05159289652051155824noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1724254580047847936.post-33905455267993534632015-02-20T15:03:33.546-05:002015-02-20T15:03:33.546-05:00i suspect the blog list must be trimmed a bit more...i suspect the blog list must be trimmed a bit more - even though it only displays the last 25 to update, it loads all 132 in the backgroundTenkarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05159289652051155824noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1724254580047847936.post-28966153468925961232015-02-20T15:00:03.801-05:002015-02-20T15:00:03.801-05:00Erik: It is slow for me, but living in the deep wo...Erik: It is slow for me, but living in the deep woods with 1MB of Extended DSL, I'm used to high graphic sites downloading at "dial-up" speeds...Most times I can't even load Amazon since they have went graphic heavy...and my phone company has no solution for me...lol...but no problems, I'll keep an eye out and see if I notice any difference now...at least my spending on Amazon has dropped tremendously.Tony T.https://www.blogger.com/profile/03711808468914135400noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1724254580047847936.post-89340276790077146542015-02-20T14:57:58.044-05:002015-02-20T14:57:58.044-05:00It just fired up way more quickly for me this time...It just fired up way more quickly for me this time.

None of my other computer/browser combos seem to have much trouble with the site. It would only be fair to mention, though, that this machine in question seems to have plenty of other problems in loading plenty of other websites ;)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06108779419657364802noreply@blogger.com
