Jason -Website Speed Idea!

[Inmortal]

Ok after being with you guys for a couple of months I came up with this idea. I my self have a really slow internet and what I oticed is that everytime I go mining or digging the holy page loads, so what I was thinking is that instead of the whole page loading, dont load the cards page in the bottom. Like... When I go mining and get minerals the whole page reloads, that is unessesary load. Also if possible if before you join the game all picutres are store in your computer and when you travel, the pictures get loaded from your computer. Something like that.


Thnx

While what you are asking would decrease the total page load it would also require a complete rewrite of how the site works.  I would actually like to do this, but it will be rather time intensive.

Oh yes, but you have to look at it this way... Its better to take your time to code something that is going to work and its good, then waste time to fix something that in the near future it has to be twiked again.

Thank you for your Reply

I would agree, and that's why the new code I'm writing for Phobos is more efficient and tightly designed.  Phobos will be a proving ground for this idea.  Once it's up and open and we see if and how much quicker it runs, I'll go back and work on Mars.

How about removing the card stats at the game window ?
Since we already have the stats on the stat page and can use it to transform the cards to moves and stuff anyway.
I personally see no use to have this ine the game window at all since i always use the stats page to do whatever i need to do.

I suppose I could make the card list optional in the same manner as the store ticker.

If this made a significant difference in game speed I guess I would like it, however I don't see how it would. I kinda like the stats in the game window, so maybe an option like the store ticker would be nice.

I know that game speed is an issue, but to me, (and this is only me) it really doesn't matter, if it's slow at say 10p.m., then I just come back in a couple of hours and try again, for me it's usually fast real early in the a.m.. So that's when I play.
Adding the cards so they could be turned on and off is a good idea if indeed it really did speed up page loading.

I've noticed that often the lag seems to relate to number of graphics that we have crammed into that little space.  I'm thinking if we had the option to turn of the cards, it would cut down on the number of graphics that have to be reloaded on each page load.
