Website speed, performance...

Post by vect0rx » Sun May 28, 2017 3:46 am

Hi, I am a web developer. Specifically with a buttload of back end optimization experience for very high scale. I couldn't help but notice this site loads a ton of stats and metrics every time it's pulled up.

It feels to me like it could be quicker and I likely know how to cache it in such a way that the real time data doesn't suffer but the load on webservers and the browser wait time are both reduced.

Are you interested in discussing?

Hi vectorx,

Thanks for pointing this out. I'm completely aware of this issue. Right now, my focus is on mining server performance and stability, and making sure that the website's code is correct (because some charts are still subject to race conditions, it seems.)

However, we did hire Michael Steward, who is improving the website's code. There have been several requests to make the website more friendly to phones, but right now we are hesitant to make any major investments in the site.

I recall how bad it was in 2014 and 2015, and most mining companies went out of business then. I had hoped that we would not enter a bubble so soon, but given that this bubble is about to take off, we need more certainty about what profitability will be after the crash before making big investments. I'm sure you can understand that, given this period of uncertainty, the website is less important than the mining server.

But Michael is doing his best, albeit slowly, to improve the site, and hopefully you should notice some steady improvements over the coming months.

Thanks for the followup.. I'm new to PH but I'm noticing some really nice "real timey" stuff just leaving the chart or earnings pages loaded.

Cheers
