Hey guys, can you do me a favor?

Go to some main marvel and dc reading order pages and count how long they take to load (fully load, browser done loading). Do it for a few and come here and list the results?

The site is running very slow since the 3.1 update and I'd like to get an average load time and see if there' s a big difference between the marvel and dc categories.

the quicklists actually load really quick since they're cached (hence, quick lists) so they database doesn't actually have to do any work to export the links. It's just a static html file that gets updated every couple days or when I force a refresh.

3 seconds, really? That's pretty good, actually! I'm seeing 5-10 seconds for the viewing order lists.

I'm not particularly concerned about the individual book or blog post pages, it seems to be the main pages that are the worst.

I've got a cable connection, though sometimes it's kind of crappy. My concern was mostly with the server response time though, which wouldn't depend on the user's connection speed.

that sounds more like I thought it would be.. I guess it's because the marvel database is roughly twice the size of the dc one. there's got to be a way to speed it up, though!

I'm worried people will give up :-/

note that the current reading order pages only show 50 books where they used to show 100! And it used to be quicker showing 100 than it is with 50 now!

I'll keep working on it tomorrow.

I'm waiting on word back from a few people I've asked to help, forum posts, etc. I have a feeling it's something to do with a plugin incompatibility, in which case I might need to wait until that's updated :-/

Don't even get me started on that trash, haha

god it's the worst. Sometimes I'll be browsing cbdb and open like 20 tabs of various issues and get hit with it 10 times overlapped.

Ok guys, the front page is now independently cached, so it should load SUPER quick. 

Can you let me know if it's working well for you, both logged in and logged out (the caching works differently depending on if you are logged in – obviously it serves you unique content for collection management, etc.)
