Connection Speeds – mybeerbuzz 2

I’ve recently heard from a valued mybeerbuzz reader who’s having some trouble loading the new mybeerbuzz 2 page. While I did design the page to be flexible enough to work well on various operating systems, various web browsers and even various graphics settings; this reader is still running a low-speed dial-up network connection. Because of this connection speed, some of the page elements are loading very slowly for him. I have tested the page to see how it loads on slower wireless connections and even some slow cell phone connections and I’m not experiencing the same problems. While the complexity and new features of the page do make it slower than the original page, the load times still seem acceptable to me.

In an effort to gain some more real-world testing, please DO comment or e-Mail and let me know if you are having any issues loading the new pages, and which elements on the page seem to load slowly. mybeerbuzz 2 is still a work in progress so I will be fine tuning as the need arises.

Keep in mind we do RSS feed all of our posts and comments for anyone that would prefer to simply read the posts/comments in their RSS feed reader (See RSS feed links on mybeerbuzz.com).

It’s a delicate balance to add new functionality and new options to help our readers interact and participate with mybeerbuzz, while still balancing the needs or users with slower connections. We remain committed to serving all of our readers in a way that works well for everyone.
