ohhh new website
cables and servers! must be srs business
testimonials too
And those are really ARP's cables and servers, no less. Not just crappy stockphotos.
they're very high quality pictures
i'm thinking the image quality should probably be dropped a little, but i'm not sure by how much.
it's fast for me - but the main page is 4.5MB big.
i kind of wish  users could decide on image quality more.
like that's probably find on 20 megabit+ internet, but probably a bit too sow on 10 megabit and lower
and i suuspect with the "asia optimized routes" that there are some asia users.
but at least the page doesn't pause while loading the big images.
wow apparently the biggest storm on erath is happening atm
oh maybe that means at the moment rather than history :)
i wonder what it'd be like if it was closer.
Typically "smart" sites will pick an image based on the user's resolution. (eg. Apple has shown off their retina displays on their website)
hmm
resolution isn't really a good test though
Not for bandwidth, no
like 1080p and 4k both want good quality images if you have plenty of bandwidth
the web site looks relaly nice in 4k :)
but like you can have 4k with low bandwidth too
so yeah some kind of general quality setting would be nice
so like when using 3g youu may set it to low
and with fast net you set to high and normal users set to medium
although it's a bit hard to test - as it's initial page that can be slower
It would probably simpler to lookup the IP and determine whether the connection is 3g, dsl, etc.
that wouuld't work very well in asia, and with quite a few providers that don't show connection type in reverse lookup.
i wonder if any cdn's do anything automatica.
as they could map users connection speeds through repeated access i imagine.
mercutio: it may not be in the rDNS but I suspect the ISPs sell that data to geoip databases
ahh ok
still i'd prefer a browser setting
there is actuually a quality setting
That's what she said!!
you just can't set it
(geoip databases have much more than just location. and ISPs like making extra money)

ahh
Precisely
still it's expensive
For individuals, definitely.
I wonder if any shared hosting providers buy a site license for their customers
fever isn't cutting it for me anymore. Whats the go to web based rss reader folks use these days? (I still miss Google Reader)
rss2email for me
