Forum Speed - Quite Quick!
I've been helping out with an unrelated forum and when benchmarking web page loading speeds from the sites I use the most the disco4.com was easily the quickest for a routine part-cached load. Even Google didn't beat it.
So well done Martin.
As ever, still a few improvements to be made (74/100 according to PageSpeed) with images and cacheable resources still tweakable but for outright page loading times it is still pretty quick.
Everybody loves a quick web experience.

Like you don't try to squeeze everything possible out of the forum, giving yourself sleepless nights kicking the server. Have you ever found a different site that is quicker?
All marginal gains are appreciated though. At home I have good bandwidth and no usage cap so all the tweaks would not be noticed. But when away from home I am usually at the wrong end of a very small pipe & every tweak, cached resource and optimised image makes a massive difference.

Not sure how that works it out - the D3C forum is 75/100 using the same test (And is not optimized in many areas according to the PageSpeed) - but it feels quicker than most - possibly because it is quieter, but it is probably on a quicker server as well?Mark.

From my side the D3C site has quite a bit of latency, even on a freshly cached page. It's not moving a huge amount of data but the 620ms pause is over half of the total 'visible' page load time. If you are logged-in the latency reduces considerably but is still a bit lethargic:
