Bookmarking Service

Sunday, August 19, 2007

I've gotten a couple comments recently that The Problem Site has been running slow. I spent some time playing with it to see if I could figure out what was going on. This was a great problem solving exercise for me!

Eventually I ended up testing the whole site out on an entirely different web server, and it still was being slow. So I started removing things from the site, to see what would happen...

...and I finally found the culprit...

A few weeks ago I added in the AddThis.com bookmarking service. It's a nice, easy way for people to bookmark the site's pages, but it was causing a horrible slow-down in page loading. As soon as I removed the AddThis.com service, the site went back to normal.

So, I'll be exploring other options to help people bookmark pages they like.

In the meantime, I hope you enjoy being back to the regular speed!
