[QUOTE="Phil Graham, post: 47384, member: 430"] Re: Speedy Adam, Thanks, we've worked very hard on it! For the peanut gallery, here's perspective on soundforums.net traffic in light of the new, faster speed: [LIST] [*]Monday, Jan 30th, we served 2x the page views of the old servers' worst traffic day ever, which was last Friday. [*]The site's traffic has increased in the last 30 days, and Monday's traffic was 6x the daily average from 2k11. [/LIST]So not only is the site much faster, [I]it is faster serving 6x the historical page load[/I]. I should clarify that a big chunk of the recent traffic spikes has been our fixing of sitemaps and Google's subsequent complete re-indexing of the site with the new rewrite rules. There's not been a sudden explosion in user base :) The next move, if finances allow, will be mirrored VPS on two separate continents that are load balanced and split the traffic. This will improve redundancy and make worldwide performance more consistent. -Phil (+David, Jeff, and Bennett) [/QUOTE]
