Board Optimization - Forum Load Time Indicator

Ever wanted to see just how fast your board is loading?? Its a bit slow but your not sure how slow?? Just loaded a new hack - Is your board just as fast???

Well now you'll know with this simple little hack that sits queitly at the bottom of your footer. A timer starts when the page begins to parse and ends when it has completed loading all of the content. The result is the time in seconds of how fast (or slow) your forums are loading.

The Instructions are so simple too

ACP> Style Manager > Your Forum Style

1. Copy the code below into your forum's style headerinclude

<script type="text/javascript">
<!-- Begin
/* This script and many more are available free online at
The JavaScript Source!! http://javascript.internet.com

var startTime=new Date();

function currentTime(){
  var a=Math.floor((new Date()-startTime)/100)/10;
  if (a%1==0) a+=".0";
  document.getElementById("endTime").innerHTML=a;
}

window.onload=function(){
  clearTimeout(loopTime);
}

// End -->
</script>

and post this code into the Footer

<div align="center">
<script type="text/javascript">
<!-- Begin
  document.write('This Page took <span id="endTime">0.0</span> seconds to load.');
  var loopTime=setInterval("currentTime()",100);
// End -->
</script>
</div>

Thats it, short, and sweet enjoy

Please Click install if you use this

Btw, this doesn't work well with the WebSite thumbnail mod here.

I had just installed the timer here, worked like a charm. Installed the website thumbnail and the timer doesn't stop counting..lol.

Install and you will see what I mean.

Only 2 small bits of code to paste, one in the headerinclude, and one in your footer easy

It's a cool mod, simple, clean and effective.

However I had to uninstall it until the bugs get worked out b/c it looks funny watching it count forever..lol.

this will help you.

choose the skin you want this showing and,

Insert this bottom of the header template:

<script type="text/javascript">
<!-- Begin


var startTime=new Date();

function currentTime(){
  var a=Math.floor((new Date()-startTime)/100)/10;
  if (a%1==0) a+=".0";
  document.getElementById("endTime").innerHTML=a;
}

window.onload=function(){
  clearTimeout(loopTime);
}

// End -->
</script>

Ive Inserted this bit of code on the next line below the vb time code in footer template as i wanted it to show below the time but you can add it where you chose:

<div class="smallfont" align="center"><b><script type="text/javascript">
<!-- Begin
  document.write('This Page took <span id="endTime">0.0</span> seconds to load.');
  var loopTime=setInterval("currentTime()",100);
// End -->
</script>
</b>
