Why is nairaland so fast, even when your network is slow? What are they using? How? Someone should explain. |

I think Seun did some serious redesigning with basic codes to an smf theme, or it was created from scratch |

tempest01: Even at that, it can't be this fast, though it may play a role |

That's because there aren't heavy things to load, videos and all. Just text and 4mb max size pictures, there must also be a little bit of technology to make it faster. 1 Like |

Nairaland obtain it speed using three things: - A good dedicated server - Minimalistic website design - Cloudflare and CDN |
| Re: How Was Nairaland Able To Achieve Its Speed by Nobody: 3:11pm On Feb 26, 2016 |
playnaija: Using CDN for Nairaland is technically and financially unwise, Content Distribution Networks are meant for websites with broader users from various countries. Using a CDN to serve us here in Naija does not make sense except if the server is located in a far away country. But still most of their users are Nigerian. |

Text text-image ratio is very high. Nairaland is not heavy at all, so it loads fast. Facebook is heavy, and with the use of lots of technologies loads faster than regular websites that are even heavier. |

dhtml18: i agree, that apart, oga seun minimized the use of javascript to the bearest minimum 1 Like |

sleepingdemon: Which is dangerous when it is too minimal, at least we could have instant messaging feature that doesn't reload the browser with ajax and all. I would've ignored the poor design self if ajax was implemented by Seun. But it's all good sha. |

Fulaman198: Doesn't still matter, according to alexa.com almost %100 of NL's users are Nigerians...why then use a CDN to deliver to us, when you can host with WhoGoHost and serve us locally. Well it's no big deal, especially if there's a lot of money. |
