Greatly improved site speed
└ posted on Tuesday, 27 April 2010, by Novil
Good news, everyone! Our website now loads much faster since the ads now load after the rest of site has loaded first. The speed improvement seems to be much bigger than I expected. The pages now often load within the blink of an eye instead of taking several seconds like they did before since the browser no longer has to wait for the fancy Flash banner in the last position of the ad chain to render the page. This speed improvement will especially benefit new readers who want to read all the comics in the archive.

Nice, how’d you set it up that way?
I followed the advice in this article: Speed up page load times when running Google ads.

Holy cr**, that’s a fast load time, basically immediately, instead of maybe 10 seconds o,0
Awesome for a person with a schizophrenic connection speed ^,^

Yay! I have really slow internet, and sometimes it takes more than a minute to load. This one took like 5 seconds!

I put in a host block list long ago. Glad others will now see the benefits of treating ads as second class data.
