Performance Improvements

You should see a significant improvement in page load time now.

Over the last few hours I’ve learnt several new optimization techniques, many of which have worked wonders on KapNuz.

Take for instance, the page load time for the main page. It has dropped from 21 seconds to <1 second now!

The main culprit turned out to be the way I was handling the website favicon’s. With caching and some smart cron jobs, the page load time has improved drastically.

With a bulk of the performance improvements done, I can now focus on getting the 50 odd pending categories uploaded to the website.
