"I removed the Disqus comments"
Wouldn't that by itself be enough to account for the download time differences?
- carlosrg 13y agoYes: "I removed the Disqus comments and the many many lines of CSS from the old site and replaced it with only a couple of lines of CSS alongside a CDN-hosted copy of Twitter Bootstrap. Finally, the Go site is deployed to a free instance of Heroku and the MongoDB hosted on a developer version of Mongolab, while the old Django site was hosted on a Webfaction shared server. All these things influence the validity of a direct speed comparison between the two versions" Indeed, all these things _invalidate_ the direct speed comparison between the two versions.
- ceol 13y agoI don't see how he can say, "Well I moved stuff to a CDN and changed hosts off of a shared server and greatly reduced my CSS file size, but surely it was the fact I changed languages that caused my page times to increase!" No, author, Go had very little to do with your page load times. Both Go and Django are going to serve a simple blog at the same speeds.
- chrismorgan 13y agoSure would be. I would expect that to have quite significantly more effect than any of the other changes, probably more than all the other changes put together.
- bulte-rs 13y agodoesn't disqus start replacing a specific div on a page ready event? If so, disqus loading is 'postponed' to after page loading? Or is it taken into account?
- minimaxir 13y agoDisqus replaces the div on page load, then loads the comments asynchronously. I have Disqus on my Jekyll/Octopress blog and still get millisecond loads.
