Rob, I've just run YSlow on your site and a suggestion it comes up with is to gzip your content: "Compression reduces response times by reducing the size of the HTTP response. Gzip is the most popular and effective compression method currently available and generally reduces the response size by about 70%. Approximately 90% of today's Internet traffic travels through browsers that claim to support gzip." You've got quite a lot of JS and CSS in there, so gzipping could work quite well. YSlow makes several other suggestions that could be worth looking into: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/5369 I've used Heroku for Radiant sites and they employ Varnish, which seems to work exceedingly well for keeping things flying: http://docs.heroku.com/http-caching http://varnish.projects.linpro.no/ Some further good stuff on caching, if you're interested: http://tomayko.com/writings/things-caches-do http://www.mnot.net/cache_docs/ Charles _______________________________________________ Radiant mailing list Post: [email protected] Search: http://radiantcms.org/mailing-list/search/ Site: http://lists.radiantcms.org/mailman/listinfo/radiant
