Faster Better Stronger
Posted in FFR News, Server Updates on February 5th, 2011
Howdy!
While this should not affect your ability to play the game or browse the site in any way, we are experimenting this weekend with a multitude of different web servers to see just how much we can accelerate page loads for everyone. Let us know if you find any problem pages and we will address them asap. Personally I have seen an average improvement of around 0.4 seconds. Do things feel any faster for you?
Cheers,
Synthlight

I think my 30% package loss to this site during these hours is gone now! Smooth syntlight

Definitely notice quicker page loads. Keep it up

Just to clarify a bit: from 10ish to ~18 PM Server time during the last week I’ve had major issues with the server. Pages on the site took a while to load, and a song in the game took minutes to load. It seems to be resolved now.

Difference is noticeable. Nice

Much faster for me in Chrome, thanks.
Posted at 12:38pm on February 5th, 2011
Quicker in firefox.
Posted at 12:54pm on February 5th, 2011
Seems faster to me, though I may just be imagining things.
Should have warned us ahead of time though, so we could take note of our old page load times, for a more accurate comparison.

I see a minor improvement, but an improvement nonetheless.
Posted at 1:19pm on February 5th, 2011
Improved.
Posted at 1:20pm on February 5th, 2011
I would love to see an improvement in the flash stuff in-game because since the site has become non-profit there seems to be significantly more bugs/lag.
Posted at 1:29pm on February 5th, 2011
Slight speed improvement. Was already lightning fast to me.
Posted at 1:31pm on February 5th, 2011

Posted at 2:10pm on February 5th, 2011

Posted at 3:17am on February 7th, 2011
Averaged anywhere from 0.023 – 0.202 (from 30 different pages) depending on the page activity I know some used to take .6+ so this is an improvement.
Posted at 7:16am on February 7th, 2011
Didn’t even know till I noticed the front page being all jacked up, but the load speeds are better.
Posted at 8:20am on February 7th, 2011
yus
Posted at 10:06am on February 7th, 2011
Problem… flashfashrevolution.com/index.php the page doesnt load up. No images. Just words. And with that I couldnt log in from there. I had to find the update, click on comments and then it’ll lead me HERE and everything would load up fine with images banner and stuff. THEN I would have to log in and what not.
I couldnt even go to the FFR game from the home index page.
Posted at 10:19am on February 7th, 2011
Damn. 0.115. Nice.
Posted at 12:55pm on February 7th, 2011
uhhhh, everything says not available?
Posted at 12:55pm on February 7th, 2011
Mines same as Desuu’s ^^^
Posted at 1:34pm on February 7th, 2011
Yep. Having the same issue as Desuu.
Posted at 6:40pm on February 7th, 2011

http://www.flashflashrevolution.com/
without the www. things fail.
Posted at 7:06pm on February 7th, 2011
lol, any fix coming soon? i’m so used to typing no www. in. (not complaining though, not a big deal)
Posted at 12:42am on February 8th, 2011

I JUST got on after an hour or 2
Posted at 4:40am on February 8th, 2011
When Synthlight wanders back in he’ll fix it. Until then, be normal and type in the www.
Posted at 11:54am on February 8th, 2011
