Site Speed

GrandOldTeam · August 24, 2022

I've just this moment enabled something called Cloudflare Argo.

Apparently it should make the site between 30% and 50% faster.

If you could all let me know whether the website feels faster, or there's any weird glitches with posts caching etc.

No piss taking please, it cost so need to know.

Can it be applied to our midfield?

Pages actually do seem to load right sharpish to be fair.

I deffo noticed it get speedier not long ago. I assumed that Open Reach had stopped digging Portishead up and the internet was improved.

Seems a bit quicker to me. The delay I was getting as it dropped the ads bar in has definitely decreased. That’s on an iPad.

It seems a lot snappier to me. Loads pages very quickly at the moment

Seems quite quick, although it never seemed slow before.

Not sure if it's at all related, but lately I've been having an on and off issue of a page loading properly but then the content goes blank. Zooming in with a pinch seems to bring things back.

I probably just need some sawdust but thought it might be worth a mention

Honestly I think it's my phone and nothing to do with the site.

I never have issues with site speed so haven’t noticed.

Keep up the good work mods.

Crikey have you finally replaced that dial up modem you've been using? Lightning now.

We welcome Cloudfare Aggro.

Can I set up a thread to celebrate it wherever it may occur on the site?

I’ve heard @roydo is now powering things.

Now much quicker on my Stone Age Kindle.

Same here.
I genuinely haven't noticed any difference, but I've never had any problems with the site speed anyway.
I was going to say save your money . . . but looking at the other replies it seems to have made a genuine difference to some. So what do I know? :oops:
