Hi guys,

I just accessed the website and it's now 5 minutes already, the website is
still loading with lots of blank spaces. Probably some blocks which are
still being loaded.

Also about the banner ads above the header, is that serious?

The font used are not suitable for long reads.

However the colors used are not bad, probably the only good thing about the
new website.

I refreshed the website and here the thinks that i noticed:

   - my browser made 133 requests and the page was still blank. Only on the
   134th request that the layout appeared.
   - way to much javascript errors for a production environment.
   - trying to load https scripts over not https website.
   - still have console.log messages in your scripts.
   - New layout, but using old asset versions? Why are you still using
   1.4.4 when latest is v2.1.4?


And i would like to also add that, using responsive design for such a
website, which eager loads everythings, is probably the worst choice made
for this new layout, since it has lots of dynamic data and i doubt that
server side caching using files or db are being used. I would opt for
adaptive design and work on lazy loading as much resource as possible. And
also to display just an image with a play button instead of the youtube
video, which is also a technique to lazy load videos. When the user will
click on the image, then you load the video and play it. This can bring the
load time to like 10-15 seconds or maybe even less.

Regards
Yuv
