Agreed - it's a beautiful site, but way too slow. I get the following results on a search:
Adioso Wingtip 31035 ms, Expedia 82331 ms, Cheapoair 38141 ms
And the home page takes about 20-30 seconds to load.
I'd love to hear about Adioso's backend - anyone from the company here to discuss it? Do you have any caching?
- tomhoward 14y agoYeah I'm a co-founder, though not an engineer - they're all busy spinning up more servers :) We'll be writing more posts about the core tech in coming weeks, but feel free to let us know what you'd most like to know about.
- mctx 14y agoI've been doing some work with AWS/Heroku recently - just interested in if you're using a cloud service, VPS or physical servers, and what kind of tech powers the site. I'm looking forward to reading more posts and using the service when it's a bit snappier!
- barrkel 14y agoThe pages are also too wide. Having to do both horizontal and vertical scrolling is severe usability setback. (I do not run my browser maximized, because too many other sites (e.g. HN) would use up the whole window, making text hard to read. Text is much easier to read when the lines are reasonably short than when they extend across the whole monitor width. And besides, I want to see other windows on my desktop than just my browser.)
