Optimizations On The New Site

Posted By: Michael Thomas - 10:10:21 Mon, February 09, 2009

I've been working steadily on completely rewriting GPUReview from scratch these past months, and things are starting to come together. I'm nearing completion on the single card pages and the comparison page, and I thought you guys might like to see some of the optimizations I've been doing to make the site faster. Below are graphs of the old site vs the new site in terms of the content that makes up the single card page. The new site already has more features than the old site, and yet, it's many times smaller:

So one of things that you guys will notice is the speed of nagivation between various pages. If you click on one of the card page links on the left side of this page you will notice like a one second delay while the page loads up. Then click on the GPUReview logo at the top to return to the front page. Once again there is a short delay. Those little pauses will be gone when the new site launches. Hurray!

Wow... nice job!
I mean like from 313K to 59K... thats awsome. I have a only 1mb net and this improves the loading times significantly.
