Site Launch Frequently Asked Questions
I'm in Australia, clicking on a search result takes about 15-20 seconds for the content to load. So frustrating when it loads only to find it's not the content I'm looking for. Then I have to return to the search again, which takes at least 5+ seconds to load if I'm lucky. Search again for the same term I already searched for... wait another 10 seconds for the search results to load that I was looking at a moment ago, play lucky dip again based only on the title and a cropped sentence... wait 15-20 seconds... repeat... it all adds up. The fact is that information that would have taken maybe 30 seconds to locate on the old site, you could now expect to take about 5 minutes. I found I can get through faster if I open up about 10 tabs of the search page and paste my search term into all of them one by one, then return to each one to open all the results in parallel so I don't have to wait later. It's so lame.
If I actually have to login to do something, like make this comment, there goes at least another 30 seconds of my life with all the very slow redirection business going on there.
