Site Performance Update - Our New Front Page, Editor Issues Resolved

This afternoon we're happy to announce that we've shipped two site updates to help push faster content to you, increase front page performance, and fix an outstanding issue with our editor.

This is the first update we're making to improve front-end performance on the site and we will have another update coming soon.


Our New Front Page

Long end of day recap style news posts no more! We're going to be posting content on the homepage more frequently and have changed the layout to let you see an overview of the most recent topics much easier!

  • Faster News - Minor news that we would normally hold off on until the evening will be posted as soon as it's available.
  • Faster Load Times - Less data transfer means you're waiting less time for the page to finish rendering!
    • A huge win for those on mobile who have had issues visiting the site in the past.
    • No more front page video embeds which were causing browser slowdowns - go to the post itself to see them.
  • Class Popularity?! - A quick overview pie (mmm.. pie) which shows the class distribution of decks created on our site over the past two weeks.
  • Latest Deck Comments - Find decks that people are talking about right now.

Editor Issues Resolved

Many users have experienced issues with our text editor on the forums which would cause the browser to lag / delay when typing. We've narrowed down the issue and gotten it patched up. If you were experiencing issues before, why not try responding to this news post to check it out?


What's Next?

In our next site front-end performance update, we're targeting JavaScript and the way it loads on the site.

  • We've already deployed this update to our sister-site, OverPwn.
  • We're currently testing this update on our development HearthPwn site.
  • Once we're done testing and are certain it is solid, we'll push it live.
