Weekly Status Report: 9/26-10/2
This week I worked on fixing some display issues on Firefox and Safari. I also updated the donate bar when we broken $50k. I also finished up a couple scripts which check un-approved users. Old users were grandparented in, but new users have to give a valid e-mail address and confirm it with a code.
The rest of my time has been spent doing caching things. There’s some new code that’ll be going live in the Guide hopefully later tonight which will hopefully make things a little better. Then Ben and I will be discussing what we think the best way to make the guide keep going faster is. I’ve been doing some logging, and I’m getting some good data. Currently the slowest pages overall are the 1st channel submit step, the channel details pages and the subscription-hit pages. The slowest pages to render are the front page, the languages and popular pages, and the channel submit pages. Searching is also slow, but on average it takes about 1 fewer second to render than the popular page.
