Have been tweaking the website to improve performance. I found that I could tell the webserver to compress the pages before sending them. That by itself was a good bump in speed.

However, I also noticed the page was completely reloading each request instead of relying on the browser’s cached version of the page (the version that is temporarily stored on your hard drive). It wasn’t even using these files. I’m sure it was doing that to make sure people always see the freshest information. But since I don’t update the page every thirty seconds, it seems a little silly to do a complete reload. So each page will now only reload every 12 minutes.

The pictures and other graphics will only reload every 9 months. How’s that for persistence? What this means is that the website will seem faster and will seem to get even faster each time you visit. We’ll see if that actually holds true.

As always, let me know if you have any problems.
