We have improved load speeds

With growing visitor count, we are constantly working on improving the experience you have when visiting our site and lately we have been working on optimizing the page speed (how quickly the page load)
Page catching
The biggest improvement for most, will be that we now catch most pages. Meaning that the site doesn't need to look up in the database for every repeated visit, only once in a while or when there's been adjustments to the contentMany of our pages are pretty fast already, but for the more heavier pages there will be some improvements
Most pages will load 1-4 microseconds faster. It might not sounds like much, but on the web that's noticeable
Another benefit is that this also reduces our server load. Which means we can have even more visitors, at the same time without impact performance
Lazy loading
We've been using lazy loading for a long time of images, but we have tweeked further on when to use it. Which again helps increase the page speedLazy loading, means images are not being loaded. Before you scroll near where the images are. So images that are in the bottom of the page and not visible when you load the page, will not load before you actually starts scrolling and get close to where the image is. If you never scroll down, the image will never load either. Which both helps load the page quicker and save you data, as you don't need to load images you never see
Proper image sizing
Depending on your screen size (or more accurately, browser window size). Different images will be loaded, depending on your screen size. If you have a small screen, you'll get a smaller image and a larger screen will get a larger imageThis is not something new to our site, but we have further tweaked it. As we saw many was getting bigger images, than necessary for their device. This both helps the page load quicker and save you data, as there's less data to load
