Some of you may have noticed that the site was running considerably slower these past few days. I had noticed the slowdown as well, and had been working on trying to pin down the cause of the problems. After much investigation, I think I found the problem. It was related to a system called “FireStats” which was a new site statistic system. You might recall seeing info in the sidebar relating to the Site Statistics as well, and now only a blank space where that information used to be. While having and displaying that information was nice, I would much rather have the site load as quickly as possible, than keep track of statistical information. If anyone ever notices any issues with site load or any other bugs with the site, please don’t hesitate to send me a PM or post in the Sage’s Study.
