WinCustomize 2K5: Status Report

WinCustomize 2K5: Status Report

Growing Pains

Hooking up a new site that gets millions of visitors each month is a challenge and boy are we being reminded of that.

So where are we?  Well, we're currently working through performance issues across the site. And so we're trying to narrow down ways of improving performance of the site overall.

We have lots of bandwidth. The problem boils down to servers (we need more), optimizing code, and optimizing the database. 

We apologize for performance issues, we're working very very hard to keep things rolling. Stay tuned..

Hello LeegleechN,

To answer your first question about the URL being absolute is because all of the images on WinCustomize point to our Image Server (images.stardock.com) which is a separate server. So doing a path such as "images/sitelogo.jpg" isn't possible.

The second question about alternate styles isn't possible at the moment, as this would affect the way we are caching the website in asp.net.
