Speed and Performance Issues.

Hi Everyone, last night we discovered very slow performance in loading time. It appears that when people are hitting our site, it’s taking a while to officially launch the page open. Earlier during the day, things seemed to be running quite nicely, however it looks like we are having those hiccups again at this time. We will be spending the night working with our techs in solving this issue....

Performance Upgrades, and Tools Announcement

Hi Everyone, Last night we cleaned up some minor things that should now improve speed. Our homepage also has less going on, for faster loading times. We’ve looked into some research and have observed results that “prettier” web pages with a lot going on tend to load slower than others. That is particularly why our homepage is quite simple. Because of this, URLs are literally...
