Taking into account how reddit performs, I'll take this as a guide on how not to use cache.
(This is a joke please. Understand it as such. I know reddit has the problems it has because it is severely understaffed)
- dageshi 10y agoHonestly I do recall periods when reddit wasn't performing particularly well but recently it's seemed fine to me.
- akjainaj 10y agoFor me all pages take 3+ seconds to load (generation time), which means reddit is easily the slowest site I visit.
- praneshp 10y agoHave you tried turning off all adblockers on your browser? Or is your time before all those come into play?
- pfg 10y agoFWIW, a GET / (front page) while logged in takes 1-1.5s for me (TTFB). ~3s till load with ads blocked, ~5.5s with ads. Both numbers without caching, but that only seems to shave off about 200ms (most of the time is spent in JS and rendering the site).
- praneshp 10y agoOkay, thank you.
- akjainaj 10y agoFront page does indeed take that. But many links (comment pages) take around 3 seconds as I mentioned (generation time, has nothing to do at all with my browser) and pages with hundreds of comments (like most links in the default subs) can easily take over 5 seconds to generate.
- gempir 10y agoThey are number 19 on Alexa and are seriously understaffed for the traffic they are getting. I think they are holding up just fine. All they monetize is Reddit gold and a few small ads, which I'm not even sure are real ads or just ads for more reddit itself
