Something is wrong somewhere, on 4.2.2, you should be way faster than VB5,

No nothing is wrong in vB 4.2 and vB5 is not faster than vB4

What's wrong with this test of a 4.2.2 site?

And your post has nothing to do with what the OP asked.

the site looks pretty clean and the colors are decent with exception of the blinding white background.

Hi i would like to ask you for a fair review of my site http://digiwebs.com, and give me suggestions/opinions even criticism, because when people criticize you tend to pay more attention to that.

You will note that when you go to the site the what's new content comes up first but i am trying to get that removed.

Please tell me what i can improve on, or even change to make the site better.

Thank you in advance.

That's.... Pretty slow. 4.3 seconds for only 37 requests and 593kb of data.

Your header image is actually only 118kb.

I didn't say it was fast, I said it was faster than the OP's site, which means his site has issues.

When his host feels like it, he gets 3.8 seconds load time and even gets a B for time to first byte.

Nicely done, OP

Better than half what it was. Nice job guys.:up:

Still think the background is too bright, other than that, it looks good.

Either you're using a mod to boost these stats or your conversion rate is 0.1%.
I have paid to start getting some traffic to my site

Also, i can't tell at a first glance what this forum is about. I also notice that your second link above for "applications" doesn't actually produce anything.
The forum is for webmasters, application is for members, not guests.

The colors are fairly easy on the eyes, which is cool. Why does your background color (gray) end mid page though? As far as that, i think the white works better anyway.
At the time we were changing color, now fixed, we have added Green and Blue colors with boxed and fluid for all colors.

Your about us in footer doesn't really say much and your affiliate links don't point anywhere (might wanna fix that for conversions, same with social media icons).
The affiliate links has started but i don't have others yet, Social media icons have not got url's just # because that will come later, the footer area will be looked at soon, due to spending a lot of time securing the site fully.

For your forums such as "market" and "hire", I would suggest using our Extra Threadfields mod (link in signature or profile). You can use the mod to add things to the market such as "Price" and what not, and then for hire you can have "type of job, date available, etc".
That sounds like a great idea, i will look into that, thank you.

Hope that helps.
