Graphics optimizations on forum

To AVSIM Staff,

 

Do you know that the main logo image here weights 87Kb? I mean this one. And these are the kilobytes server should serve on each page request. By converting this image to JPG (even with highest quality settings) you could reduce it's size 3 times down to about 25Kb without any noticeable visual difference.

 

Not it will save AVSIM servers from overload, but there could be some other similar miss-optimizations.


...and one more thing: 


Looks strange and VERY suspicious. Do not open the link below without some virus barrier!

Note the word 'toxic' here. The screenshot is made right on THIS page. And it's a link to this page:

It is a honeypot - it is used to trap spammers and the like. It is part of our continuing effort to keep them off of AVSIM and to protect you. And yes, we are constantly looking to refine our output loading.

Oh, I see. False alert. Never saw such approach to fight spammers yet.

Good luck with optimizations! We all need AVSIM up and healthy.  :good:
