iFinity site came up and I did have a good read.

Generally, their own site is still to slow on first load. after that, some pages take way too long to load some pages take 10 seconds after click and some are ok at about 4 sec after click.

However, according to the Bruce Chapman Blog here it is faster by about 40% compared with Default DNN Friendly URL

The problem is that in the case of test.mro-info.com still does not cut it. I am after much more improvements.

As an example here is a site that My daughter did for her final year University project http://teencancercircle.com/ which is a charity site with social networking angle done in WordPress. She is using my couple of years old basic virtual server from 1and1 which is not particularly fast. Yet the speed is amazing.

Other competing technologies like Magneto also behave much faster yet with perfect URL rewriter technology.

which are examples of other platforms we need to compete with.

Anyhow, I will let you know if PageBlaster is going to save the day for us

 Thank you Etienne

I will have a good look on Monday, I did since then installed the community edition of Page Blaster, and I have found some performance enhancements.

I will advise my client to take the professional version on Monday.

Generally the large number of categories are probably responsible for  slower than usual performance from this instance of DNN 5.4.2 than others we host.

We are using Telerik which suppose to be the fastest for rendering the menu. But there may be some area we can also improve on.
