more on site optimization

I reimplemented MTOptimizeHTML on the main page.

Before :
131835 Feb 1 15:17 index.html

After:
114726 Feb 1 16:07 index.html

That 17k difference is some savings (15%), but 114k is still plenty big.

Of course with mod_gzip, it goes down to 27,622, for a 76% savings. That I can deal with.

I think I’ll just keep it on the main page for now and see how it goes.

January 2004 traffic

for the month just ended, the site welcomed 60990 visits and 72067 page views.

Almost 1 million for the prior 12 months: as the monthly trend is upward, a month or two will see us there.

Thanks for making it happen.
