I didn't forget about you all (mostly because I get reminder emails each day) but I was out of office for a few days.
We are making an adjustment this afternoon to trigger the loading much sooner and hopefully avoid having to see the blurry images load on faster connections. I'll let you all know once it is live to see if there is a noticeable improvement. |
How about....... just putting the fuzzy picture "feature" on the mobile site? Since it's a "feature" for people with data plans. There is literally absolutely ZERO reason to have it on a desktop site in any capacity other than to piss off your member base.
There just isn't a possible rebuttal to that. |

There just isn't a possible rebuttal to that. Basically, Google shows our site pages as loading incredibly slow and we are trying to resolve that problem. We are also working on lazy loading advertisements to speed up the page even further. Lazy loading images does speed up the entire page load and we see the load times decreasing since it has been added. But our settings need to be tweaked so you don't see the blurry images on faster connections because it gives the impression that the site is much slower. |
Your site pages load incredibly slow because you keep adding crap to the site that's not necessary, and most of us run like... 60ppp.

@IB Nolan
Reducing loading times by not loading the images is such fucking bullshit, dude. It's like not loading all the posts in a thread, or limiting posts-per-page to 10 (don't you fucking dare). If you limit the content being loaded, the page might APPEAR to load faster on metrics, but the reality is that the repeated loading of each image as it's scrolled to makes whatever thread that is virtually impossible to quickly scan. You are cheating the metrics by making the forum shittier. Stop it. |
There have been changes made today that seem to improve the loading times significantly. Let me know if the blurred images are as bad as they were prior.
|
No change here, still seeing 3-5 seconds blur and jerky scrolling hesitation while images load. Still crap on my desktop with fast cable service.
|
Idk, seems much faster to me than the forum ever has been.

Thanks for testing.
It seems to come in waves with some large file size pics loading fairly instantly and other smaller images still hanging up at random. The full images should be loaded by the time you have them centered on your screen. I am using this section of the cat thread as a test: https://www.miataturbo.net/insert-bs...5/#post1378917 Let me talk with our image hosting folks to see why the speed and download times aren't consistent. |
Tried that test.
This image took so long to de-fuzzify that I had time to think "man, this sucks", then think "I should screencap this", then find the PrintScreen button on my laptop, then press it. Come on. https://cimg3.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.mia...52670ebf58.png |

Note that Joe has Photoshop or similar to fuzzy up the images.
I'm too lazy, so I just let the forum do it for me. |
