Hi xoopers,

I am very new to XOOPS and portals and this is my first attempt at creating a portal website. If anyone is interested I will have the new theme available as soon as it is fine tuned. Please take a minute and let me know what you think. Suggestions would be nice...

Thanks,

I Like

On a visual fron it looks great in IE6. Have you tested with Mozilla/Firebird, Opera, NN etc?

On the tech side as far as performance goes I think you have done very well .


On initial site load:


Total site size: 54114 bytes (52.8k) (very good!)

Total http requests: 15 (very good!)

Total site loading time: 10.1 seconds (decent)

Average transfer rate: 5.23 KB/S




On browser refresh:

Total site size: 17447 bytes (17.03k) (excellent!)

Total http requests: 15 (very good!)

Total site loading time: 8.4 seconds (good)

Average transfer rate: 2.02 KB/S


I used IBM Page Detailer Basic to get the stats apart from avg transfer rate. I wouldn't put too much weight into the total site loading times or average transfer rates as my work connection despite being a 2MB E1 link is still rather average for accessing a lot of sites. Still, it should give you a good idea of what 56kers experience of your site will be like .

Thank you for the xtreme stats on my site.

And yes I have tested it on Mozilla/Firebird and Netscape. But I haven't tested it on Opera I keep my computer free of Adware and Spyware so when I have my security software clean everything out it effects opera so I refuse to use it. But if anyone out there is using opera your comments would be appreciated.

And thanks again Brash,

hey Xpider,

very good customization on your modules and forms, all seem to consistent with your theme. i did notice the different font sizes; is this by design?

very good work!

Sorry but you should reconsider. I dislike spyware as much as anyone else but there are several tools out there as adware which are well worth it.

Especially with Opera you get a real fair deal using it for free with ads. And you can even choose between what ads you want to see.

One more thing is that i really think as a webmaster Opera is by now a browser that should be used to test the website too. You might still have some Opera lovers under your visitors.

Main point: As far as i can see your website looks ok when used with Opera 7.50
