Hi everyone. I would like to receive a review on my website. www.traderslaboratory.com I started this back in August so its still relatively new. I am always looking for improvement. Any feedback regarding SEO, design, "community feel", etc.. is highly appreciated. Feel free to leave me negative feedbacks too. Thank you Regards, Soultrader
Its a vBulletin - not much to provide feed back - good look. One thing - takes forever for the homepage to load. Too much stuff I think.
Firstly its a standard template so you can't really do much about the structure and positioning of the site. Design wise i love the header section - although you could do with some form of image mouse over effect or at the very least some alt tags. It would be great to see the same gradient style effect as the background for the header sections of the boxes instead of just the dark blue color. Might also be nice to reduce down the recent threads box on the left which creates quite a lot of white space at the bottom of the page.
Thank you. Regarding the website loading speed.. I noticed this is a problem as well but can not find a solution. Is there any tool to check for the website loading speed. Also what can I do to improve this speed. Would changing hosts make a difference? Or swithcing to a VPS? Thanks
http://www.iwebtool.com/speed_test Although those results can't be right - unless the page uses frames perhaps or something... hmmm...
I got the results as: Size: 45.4 KB Load time: 0.57 seconds Average speed per KB: 0.01 seconds Is this considered too slow? Thanks
Try this link; http://www.websiteoptimization.com/services/analyze/index.html the result is a little more realistic! Takes about 5-7 seconds on my connection and im over 5mb...
I got T1 1.44Mbps 2.39 seconds. Which I assume most people are somewhat in this speed. Still slow? Also what can I do to speed it up? Thank you
