Images on projects overview extremely slow to load #36

Closed awnumar closed 7 years ago

awnumar commented 7 years ago

Title is self-explanatory. Images on the project overview are very very slow to load. Is there anything that can be done to improve them, or at least something to indicate that they're loading?

I have the same issue, even with Netlify images would load at around 1 second or so.

But when I open your project overview I noticed that the images loaded at around 3 seconds, that's way longer than the time my images loaded.

Then I started to dig around, I live in Indonesia, when I dig my website, I got served from an Amazon server in Singapore. But when I dig your website, I got served from an Amazon server in Japan.

This could be the case with the ALIAS processing server location of DNSimple.

I know this since I had this kind of issue when using another DNS service, so I move my DNS to Cloudflare.

As a comparison try pinging cryptolosophy.io and www.cryptolosophy.io and then compare the ping time.

See my results here, note the IP address are different.

I would suggest you to contact DNSimple support for help or move your DNS to Cloudflare. Another solution you can try is to preload the images.

Hope this helps

@tanto259 Oh sick, thanks for the reply. That actually explains a lot -- I remember reading something about Netlify's CDN only working properly for the www subdomain. I'll look into it and report back.

tanto259 commented 7 years ago

For reference, DNSimple have 5 servers worldwide (3 in USA, 1 in Netherlands and 1 in Japan). This would explain why I am served from Japan.

Ping times are similar for me for both sub-domains, hovering around ~30ms. The IPs are different though so the similar times are probably explained by me being in the UK. Will ping a support request at Netlify see if they know what's up.

I'll close this issue since I've since removed the entire projects section from my version of the site. If someone else (@tanto259) is suffering from the same problem, feel free to re-open this.
