I want a forum this fast

Reduce the amount of off site resources (facebook, twitter, google, other social networking crap) images and addons working on the background.

Just wondering whether twitter and facebook widgets add to the page loading times.

Yes, quite a bit as well. These are what I found to be really slowing my site down, and as no one really used them, I disabled them all.

Thanks, will put an end to the FB crap.

I find CloudFlare slowed things done for us. Connection issues were just that.... issues we didn't need to deal with.

Keep in mind also that all these "fast sites" also do not have any plug-ins, 3rd party products, or add-ons.

We enabled Cloudflare yesterday and since the DNS updated its caused our site nothing but problems, even disabling the cloudflare optimisation (and supposedly just using cloudflare as a dns only) causes problems.

The idea is good, it would apear the implementation is poor.

How can I get my forum to be this fast. Ive never seen a forum so quick. http://forum.dlang.org/

I nearly posted this up a few months back, I believe it's written in D. Some interesting points made in this reddit thread about it.

Actually responded to your personal message already.

We need a stronger server sadly enough. It's up now. I guess it's not too bad. We've seen oneheck of a jump in membership and visits by search engine guests recently. Not to mention Taiga Chat is on every page and it's very server intensive (I'm waitnig for DI's new pro release).
