It's a small one (119 kb) Which files are you talking about? I see multiple files on the front page which are way to big. The top 3 are enormous. My analysis of scc_update_child_in_cape is correct. See my first post in this thread. Did not do the other 2. My eyes confirmed the other 2. I now come into WCG at the forums and bypass the front page. Do you have access to the Apache logs?? Check them. Sgt. Joe: but at least the connection seems normal as far as speed goes You don't see the top 3 images on the front page just crawling?[Edit 1 times, last edit by BobbyB at Oct 4, 2022 2:55:24 PM] |

Sorry, my post was a bit off-topic. I meant the image in the "sharing" section of the My Contribution page. The one with the woman at the computer. It wasn't really about the size (119 kb) but rather about the space it takes on the page. I feel like that image adds zero to the sharing feature.

Sgt. Joe: but at least the connection seems normal as far as speed goes You don't see the top 3 images on the front page just crawling? Nope,it actually loads pretty quickly. One of the few things working approximately correctly here. Cheers

It isn't really all that off-topic. The thread is about the slowness of the site (from Russia initially). Your comment is about the space it takes (and thus the size in KiB) and what it adds to the sharing feature. Correct it adds zero as does all that other empty space on the front page. I'm guessing the designers think it looks "cool". It does not. If it were optimised and zipped in (as it should) then maybe....
----------------------------------------I mentioned the Apache logs because I thought you were part of the admins. That woman_at_computer is 119KiB but if reduced in size to 400x400 px it could be 23KiB (it shows up at about 400px on that page and about 638px on another). All images on the site are overweight; some obese. That max-age of 15 minutes for images is across the site. I picked up the badge image scc1_1_72.png and it is Last-Modified: Wed, 02 Feb 2022 19:02:52 GMT so it has to be dowloaded once on each browser session. This is the same for all the badges and any other little image on the site. All that bloat really adds up in the end. Make that 30 days or more. It seems today we just throw more CPUs and bandwidth at something to solve any speed problem. Sgt Joe: you say pretty quickly. So there is a little delay. At the size they show up the 3 should just be instantaneous. [Edit 4 times, last edit by BobbyB at Oct 5, 2022 3:25:29 AM] |

They could solve much of the problem if they reverted to the old design (hopefully they kept the code for it.) I liked the old design much better, even after all this time. Cheers

I gave up (female dog ing) complaining about the new front page a long time ago. They will never get it. |

Agreed! For some time, as this happened around the time of the announcement of the move to Krembil, I thought that it was some UX folks at Krembil, who don't know a first thing about WCG, that made those changes to the website. But the more I see how things are going now, I think that this was just some nonsense move by some UX folks at IBM, who just didn't care because the stuff was moving out of their responsibility soon anyway...
