Is there anyway we could improve that, and also wanted to know is there any way you could code the mod so that its loaded after the homepage is loaded. I mean that way the users wont have to wait for the whole webpage to load up. Like let the rest of the website load first and this at the very end, if you know what I am trying to say?

Thanks Mooff

Sorry, must have missed your post.

It will have a small effect on load times since it does add additional http requests and data which has to be transfered for the pictures, the javascript in the css files. Then it has to build the slider using javascript.

The effect should not be big though.

If you use the cache, especially "never refresh me" settings it shouldn't affect your server performance at all.


It would be great if vbulletin would be build in a way that it does send out data before it actually goes through all the php files. Unfortunately it does not. And in addition the CMS still is in beta phase. Look through JIRA (the vbulletin bug tracking tool) and you will find a lot performance improvement requests for the CMS. Right now there is a huge difference in vb-forum performance and vb-cms performance. I hope they are going to adress those issues in 4.2.
As for us coding stuff there. Might happen, Osbes has some ideas what we might be able to do there, but, right now other projects are our main priority (sprites for example) and we are talking about several months before we can start looking into it. And even then it isn't clear whether we can actually gain performance there. So best bet is to vote for those issues in JIRA and ask vbulletin to fix them.
