Your sites just got a whole lot faster

We all hate having to wait for anything. Waiting in line at the café for that first coffee of the day can feel like a lifetime. Websites are no exception to this pain. If you are like us, you spend a lot of time on the 'net and your time is incredibly valuable. Because of this, we're proud to announce that all blog pages should see page load times decrease by over 50%!

We have accomplished this tremendous improvement by employing what is called a "reverse proxy" called Varnish. For those less technically inclined, a reverse proxy is a piece of software that maintains cached copies of web pages so that the load on our servers is reduced. Displaying these cached copies is orders of magnitude faster than hitting our servers.

Thanks to Varnish, you should be seeing noticeably faster load times on your blog pages.

Note: Varnish is currently not enabled for those of you on custom domains. We are planning to add this in the near future.
