    ..well..i know you have spent a lot of time building the website but currently its so slow it probably scares away half of the new visitors


    so im suggesting either re-coding it,simplifying it,making a whole new website(thats an option too since its new season) or just a separate site for registering and account management


    actually one of the basic rules when maing website is to never ever make index page slow to load

    thats because the website is hosted remotely and most servers will never afford that ( to pay a separate dedi for website )

    And no .. it doesn t scare the new commers since most players are visiting the website just for reset. They will just give it a go ingame and they will see that there is no lag there


    PS: This website differs from the S4 one. It has same template but it's fully recoded using ajax, etc

    i did and i know its a bit different but i was referring to the index page,its identical

    @sephiroth:they have to register first and if the site crashes several times when they are trying to register i doubt they have the nerves to try again and again


    and just like i said,from website builer's view the site needs some tinkering coz its perfect example of good site gone wrong

    one MAJOR rule.Never.Ever.Make.The.Index.To.Load.Slowly.

    yeah its slow,but i know its sort of hard to fix it,ive build my share of sites.
    i still remember the 2hours it toke me to sign up tot his server tho,well worth it xD
    other problems back then in s3 tho,not the lag.

    for me it loads pretty fast and most ppl i've asked. I'm planning on switching to an europe dedicated soon with the website so this delay could be gone when the transfer is finished
