Comment to 'UNA site is much faster now'
  • Yes, it is much faster now and there is reason. Something anyone can do - cleanup. 

    1. We stopped using google fonts. Although some of them look nice, the extra time for losing them isn’t worth it. Just using a good system font stack is cool. 

    2. We removed Intercom platform library. First, we don’t want to track people that closely and second the extra losing time isn’t worth it. 

    3. We have optimised some images. Just good old exporting with extra attention to size. 

    4. All caches and minifiers are enabled in Studio.  

    Overall Speedtest results are excellent now. We could further improve by using CDN, but that’s a bit tricky because of subdomains using una.io for communities on Cloud. One day we’ll do it. 

    Next step will be improving server response time by code optimisation - we keep doing it continuously as we observe more activity on client sites and determine bottlenecks. 

    And ultimately a single-page-app interface will make it feel near-instant. ✌️
