Skyrim

Site performance tweaks and update

  • Comment
Over the course of this weekend Axel and I have been implementing a few performance tweaks on Skyrim Nexus to get the most out of the servers and ensure a more stable and faster browsing experience. It's my opinion that these tweaks have been a great success as the site has been loading a lot faster. If you'd be so kind, please leave some feedback on this article to let me know if you've been experiencing faster browsing on Skyrim Nexus.

A small by-product of one of these tweaks is that some of the file stats; the page views, download and unique download counters, are no longer real-time but update every 10 minutes or so. I think that this small time delay in receiving file stats is a small price to pay for a much more stable Skyrim Nexus but apologise to any mod authors who don't like this minor change. But please know, it's not a bug, and your stats are still being fully recorded and will update regularly.

    I honestly haven't noticed a speed change, the only thing I've noticed is the server selection has been messing up and now im having troubles getting to the downloads sections. I click on files and it just reloads the page over and over again back to the description and no its not just my laptop its on different computers and even my phone.

    Yeah, noticeably faster, thank you. And if the price to pay for this speed is delayed stat update, it's not a downside at all in my opinion.

    Cheers.

    Kent download wasn't working for me on the first day, but London was. Everything is working very well now. The site is faster and queuing up the downloads as well. Thank you for all the hard work.

    Hi,

    i'm not sure if i can "feel" the speed improvement.
    I mean, sometimes it feels like the requested pages are faster loaded, but there are also links to other mods, requested only seconds later, which feel like i have to wait for ages. The same with loading images, it doesn't matter if i want to view a image on a mod page or the image share, some pictures are loading very fast (click and view) and some others need up to 30 seconds.
    I have no idea how to tell it better, but its good to know you are working to improve the speed

    (btw, i have a 50MBit broadband connection, so that is not the problem )
