We have received a lot of feedback that http://mylovelybluesky.com is hard to enter / load / visit but we have not really understand what are the actual experiences each of you facing. I would like to take some of your time to help me filling in this survey so that we can understand more what did you face normally when you cannot enter our page or having hard time to finally get in.
So far, we are using QWest broadband service here in Colorado Springs which is an 1.5Mbps download service and have not met much problem on loading the page. ( The front page’s size is running on an average of 2MB normally )
I cannot promise that we can do everything according to the survey feedback but they will definately able to allows us to understand more what are the expriences / frustrations that you may have when visiting our blog and try to improve that experiences if we can.
Apology for the multiply vote buttons as this is the only poll system I manage to find to use at the moment.
Thank you.
Regards,
Kuen Hoong

I would go more for a faster loading site than I would other things. This site does seem to load slower than other wordpress sites – and I think that the sidebar is part of it- but it might also be the host. If you haven’t installed wp-super-cache – consider that. Also there is something called wp-widget-cache – that helped us a lot.

Does it happen to only this website ?

Matt, thanks for the suggestion. We are looking over and over the widget bar to see what we can removes but seems those are the thing we wish to have on the bar. I didn’t do wp-super-cache nor wp-widget-cache and will consider that. I think part of the reason is this is a non optimized theme that I heavily edited away from the original theme and has not clean up my mess yet ( not sure to rewrite or clean up ) There are actually 7 x widgetized bar in this theme now and i think loading each of them gave some problems too. The mp3 + player are hosted on my own page but has reduced to much lower bitrate after a gain normalization. I think I have to spend some time clean up the theme + css as it is in a mess now.

Thanks for the feedback everyone. I hopes to collect the data for another few days before removing it from the sticky.

I knew about those.. the reason for this survey is to see if it is ok to keep those heavy stuffs. I could imagine a page with no song, no chatbox or tracking is not what I would like to have.

I decided to dump the previous theme that I sort of heavily modified and not optimized. (Also full of redundant codes, error codes). Picked one that is almost same with what I tried to do on the last theme until I got something out that can “meet people”
About the Songs, I have tried to remove it for couple of hours but myself prefer to have the background music somehow. So, I guess the mp3 player is a keeper. ( It is the main contribution to the slow loading actually. )
Reply
I forgot to mention that the MP3 player actually only starting to stream the songs once the page is scroll and displaying it IF the brower is a Firefox. IE and Chrome will however directly load it once page is opened. It is actually one of the main cause to the page loading especially for Malaysia’s turtle speed streamyx.

already done your survey, hope it would help you to improve
