Trying to get some feedback since we have gone to the Amazon 'cloud' for content delivery. Can you check out www.choicr.com and then reply with the browser and load-up time it took you? Thanks so much for the feedback.
It does take a little bit, and the content seems to be rendered by layers (first the black one, then the logo, then the gradient).<p>Once its all loaded, awesome design :)
Pretty slow here in Sweden on first load with empty cache. The main culprit seems to be <a href="http://my.betali.st/widget/4qvp5few.js" rel="nofollow">http://my.betali.st/widget/4qvp5few.js</a> which takes 450 ms to load.<p>I also ran Firebug with Page Speed and it reported 65/100 on the scorecard. YSlow reports 86/100 with the ruleset set to "Small site or blog".
