So running this forum thru Pingdom Website Speed Test (Enter a URL to test the page load time, analyze it, and find bottlenecks) at https://tools.pingdom.com/

The results are actually quite good, as you can see:

Questions:
  • I assume the secret subdomain of "sf.arcade-museum.com" is used for image hosting/caching?
  • The favicon.ico used for this site/forums is what? the lymphoma hand or is that the webmagic logo? I really can't recall.

Thanks and enjoy!

reloading klov forums and checking the console shows that the sf subdomain is loading a number of scripts/APIs.
 
re: 'sf' s=static, f=forums. We discovered that using a CDN for the forums degraded rather than improved performance, and worse than that, made the viewing experience seriously unstable for many. So that didn't work. However, we did start start moving static content (scripts and images) to a different domain so we could run just that content through a CDN. It measurably increased forum performance for some users, particularly those far away from our Los Angeles HQ.
