Connexions Improves Site Performance

Last Thursday, the Connexions team, with the help of Enfold Systems, rolled out a new feature that doesn't change how the site works, but changes how the site performs. We have added additional caching of content pages which is resulting in quicker load times for those pages. From our internal testing, most pages are twice as fast as a result of the caching. The only obvious visual change is the addition of collection ids in module URLs when a module is viewed in a collection's context. An example is

We are continuing to improve the site and would like to hear if you notice the speed improvement. Leave a comment or email us at cnx@cnx.org.
