You Asked, We Deliver: Why CineD.com Feels Blazing Fast Now

Announcement

by Nino LeitnerDecember 2^nd, 2022

Does CineD.com feel considerably faster to you than it did before? That’s great to hear – our development team worked hard in the background to make that happen.

We’re very proud to announce that after months of tweaking the engine, you should experience a considerable increase in site performance and speed from now on. More steps are still being taken to increase site speed even more, but let’s break down what’s been done so far.

How did we make the site faster?

• Since our product update this morning, we are loading specific parts of the pages (articles) asynchronously, so the main content is available quicker.
• Popular pages are preloaded to reduce the server load.
• External data is updated with specific intervals to reduce traffic and free critical bandwidth for our visitors.
• We are using a CDN (Content Delivery Network) to geographically spread our content like images so it can be served by a server closest to our visitors. 

Log in to maximize speed

In order to maximize the access speed of CineD, you should be logged into the site. If you haven’t registered yet (it’s free), you can do so here.

Constantly optimizing site speed

New features require new measures to keep the site fresh and snappy. We introduced a number of new features over the last years, most notably the CineD Databases and the Gear Guides, both of which contain hundreds and sometimes thousands of sub-pages, generating a lot of additional traffic on the site. In order to keep everything running smoothly, our development team is constantly optimizing server loads to deliver our services to all corners of the world, no matter where you are.

Get in touch if you encounter issues

By all means, we make mistakes too, so please get in touch via our contact form in case you run into any issues or strange behavior at all. We will get back to you as soon as we can.

Big shout-out to our development team, they did a remarkable job on this project, and I’m very proud of them!
