Faster Search
Hey,

Please go to http://www.nobags.com and perform a search. It is really slow. I am not sure how to speed it up and I am told this is not down to the server. Could you please tell me anyway of speeding this up?

Cheers,
A Beaton

I didn't find it to be slow at all... Perhaps an issue with traffic congestion in general?

Sincerely,

My experience as well. The only thing I found slow was the loading of the page. You have several images with no height and width tags and these images have to be loaded before anything else can display. You're homepage took over 30 seconds to load on 28 kb connection. The search responded within 2 seconds, but the page took another 25 seconds to load. Presumably because of the missing height and width tags.

Good luck. I like what you've done.

A good way to test the speed independent of the connection is from telnet to type:

time perl search.cgi query=something

and then at the bottom you'll see how long it took.

Cheers,
