We spent some time to improve the overall application performances (meaning the loading time of each web site page) in order, first, not to handicap the overall site by a resource consuming page, but also to offer to our visitors a fast navigation experience.
To summarize, the application is fast, the code is “clean” and what is sent to your browser is optimized for a very fast display.
On the 28 August, we migrated vinogusto.com from the small (but still quite effective) server that served the site towards a new more powerful dedicated server. Vinogusto is still hosted at ovh (one of the biggest hosting European company) and will benefit from a powerful server that should offer correct performances for the year to come.
We observed that at least 2 AD blocking tools has been disabling all places pictures on Vinogusto.com.
- Symantec internet security suite, with its default options
- Maxthon Tabbed Browser
The effect was the disappearing of all places pictures (the right column of the homepage), on the whole website. Those software make it silently by erasing without warning the <img … html tags.
We corrected the problem that was due to a directory badly named (’ad’ for address)…
We’re sorry not to have pointed the problem sooner.
