Has SPCR site load speed improved?

Has SPCR site load speed improved since the server move/upgrade two days ago? I notice an improvement but wonder what others see.

Yep, its improved! It loads fast and smooth. :D
Befor the upgrade the top banner appaerd always fisrt and within a sec or 2 the rest was loaded. Now its almost at the same time on my screen.
I think its a good improvement!

For me, it's been more "consistantly" fast.

For me it's the same as most times. Except I haven't had a slow day like previously used to happen from time to time. But with only two evenenings since the migration, that doesn't really say anything.

That it is faster for Mike isn't strange. Websites hosted in Amsterdam (were my ISP is) are mostly fast here too. But Amsterdam-Texas or Amsterdam-Vancouver doesn't really differ. (This all of course assumes to host has enough power and bandwidth.)

Hard to quantify, but my subjective feel is pretty much the same. (Based on simultaneously opening several favourite Tabs in Firefox, SPCR Forums always was about last to load, and still is.) However it may be better in that I have yet to have any extremely slow moments which were pretty frequent in the past.

It seems consistently snappier to me. In the past it could be sluggish at different times. I think it's a worthwhile upgrade.
