ObSrv Performance Improvements

Read More

I’ve improved the load speed of the ObSrv home page. Sometimes it would take a long time to load.

I’ve also improved the speed of the image feeds. It still can be sluggish at times – that’s because it’s heavily used, but to counteract this, the Image Feed will ignore requests from the same computer if they come more frequently than about once every 3 or 4 seconds.

For most people this won’t be a problem, and the only time you really notice delays on the Image Feed is if you try and display it in your browser.

If site performance is still an issue for you, please let me know.
