Title: Istock speed
Post by: Monty-m-gue on December 07, 2012, 15:00

Does anyone else notice a discernible difference in loading speed on iStock website?

Seems fast.

Still very slow for me. In fact, I'm now in the habit of clicking a link on the site, then going to another browser tab to do something else while I wait for the iStock page to load. Half the time I forget to go back, it's so slow.

Search is fast, contributor side stuff like My Uploads, stats etc all still very slow.
Better that way than vice versa.
Inspections are on a pre-Christmas boost. I just got one accepted about 100 mins from upload.

Yep. I am getting approved in hours. :)
Overall speed feels about the same.

You can't fault the inspections on iStock, no matter what else is wrong with the site.

I find rapid inspection a bit unnerving for some reason. It's like they're waiting to pounce!

Yes, same here. Search uses to be fast, entering in the istock page is light-fast.
