Re: [cfaussie] Aussie Winter Olympics Site Goes Live
Great looking site Geoff! The responsive elements are very fluid and the design is great. I think the expanding more panels that shuffle the layout is a nice touch as well given the large amount of content available. One small suggestion for the Athletes page would be to make use of the nice little sport icons against each athlete profile thumbnail either as an overlay or appended to the hopeful text though i can see this might get a little tight. But without that you have no idea what sport the athlete represents unless you click through or use the filter randomly above.

Re: [cfaussie] Aussie Winter Olympics Site Goes Live
Yeah - figured a CDN would help a lot, simply because the images would be distributed across the world. What sort of geographical distribution do you see? I would have thought that given the international nature, you would see a good chunk of it come from overseas. Having the CDN would help with pagespeed load times, I would figure.

Aussie Olympic Team sites are fairly parochial -- the vast majority of traffic is from here at home. Having the CDN would help with pagespeed load times, I would figure. Maybe for initial loads -- hopefully after that if the settings are right, most of it should be reloaded from the browser cache. You'd only have images to contend with and we're trying to lazy load all of those.
