Optimizing Site Speed

June 30th, 2011 by Ben Hwang

speed It’s always a chore in making sure features are put in, and making sure that it doesn’t slow down for the rest of the site. Fortunately, there’s always room for improvement. A couple of changes have gone today for the engine itself. We’re going to start seeing a lot more action on the client browser end. That means that the work will be done at the client side and the server will cease to be always sending new data over unless it absolutely has to do so.

This in turn will increase the speed of the product itself. Second, the size of the files have been dramatically decreased. This has been done through compression and some server magic that optimizes the delivery itself. That should increase some viewable differences in performance. Last of all, we’re beginning to see some improvements on some of the content. Due to some reports by clients where there were vast amounts of data being delivered due to the number of transactions, we’ve done something about the viewing window on that data. That in turn has taken the load off of both the client and ourselves.

Wish there was a breather window somewhere in there, but there’s always new things to do. If there are issues, feel free to let us know!  As usual, we’re always striving to be the best web based accounting product you guys can have!
