Hey everyone, for the last few months I have been toying around with a social network for web developers to share their new web applications/websites and get feedback on them.

Ranqd / Quality Sites

please let me know what you think.

Really slow load time on the front page. Kind of oddly slow because its taking a while to generate the articles one at a time. What are you hosting on?

I'm hosting it on Godaddy (VPS)

It's loading a bit slow for me too...
I ran your site through a tool to see where the slow down occurs. It looks like it's trying to load a few files that don't exist, and a few images that are located off site.

Ok so I made it load avatars instead of the websnapr image and it goes much much much faster. So the problem is obviously in loading the websnapr images is there anyway to get them to load quicker or have them load after the stories load?

Hello Chuckroast,

Could you share with us the name of the tool you used to see where the slow down in a web site is. It´ll be very helpful.

Thanks in advance.
