- The problem I'm describing is happening consistently to 4-6 people on their phones and laptops, so I don't think it has anything to do with extensions etc., but I ran the same audit on another computer, still on Chrome but no extensions, and I got a 4/100.
Ok, extensions mostly out then.
4-6 people is still a pretty limited subset.
We have an experienced developer in Canada who developed several games for BGA and she never talked with us about excessive slowness.
Other people in Canada or USA experiencing the same type of excessive slowness? Or having a great time? Feedback welcome!
Also, I'm on the Internet all day and BGA is the only site I have this problem with.
Allright, but that doesn't really help or prove anything.
The internet is a large space and you can miss a lot of problems
- Chess got an 8 / 100 on a fresh game.
Ok.
If logs can make a noticeable difference then it would be great if we could turn off them off!
Well, having an option to disable anything and everything is not sustainable. Also, that would break some functionnalities and make it basically impossible to follow what happened on turn based games when coming to take a turn.
- Do you use any North American hosting? Again, I'm not a webdev, but my understanding is that this can make a big difference, eg. I think this is why most big sites host from multiple data centres - so they can provide good service to users on multiple continents?
Yes, we use a CDN for faster download of the site static ressources accross multiple continents.
Everything cannot be deported anywhere though, and comparing BGA to "most big sites" is flattering, but you should consider that maybe we don't have the same time/money ressources as the big players. I wish we did
About measurements, could you also post a "network tab" screenshot from Chrome developer console for the site load?
