Everything is running fine now

All is well.

Site has been shaky in the past few days

This has been because I am trying to walk the fine line between stability and performance. I am also hoping we reach the sweet spot soon. I am tired of trying to fix the same problem over and over again.

Significant performance improvements done to site

We just updated the site to provide a significant performance boost while reducing our costs.

More speed improvements pushed out right now...

Just figured out another way to improve the performance which I know is sometimes tiresome. Hopefully this makes the site much faster than before. If there are any issues those will be fixed later.

Speed problems fixed

I noticed in the past few days that the site was loading very slowly making it an unpleasant experience for browsing it. Yesterday night I have added an extra caching server to the system speeding it up considerably. Still testing the site to verify all is well.

News issue fixed

I think due to the large number of articles we store, since July 4 till today morning the site was not showing any news anwhere. This has been fixed now - it was a windows azure error internally which will not happen again.

Severe performance problems fixed

The severe performance issues making the site very slow has been fixed now.

Read items issue fixed now

We have been trying to figure out ways in which we could hide the read items in a more reliable manner without affecting site performance. This implementation is now done and the site has been updated.
