It is odd that the problems plagued readers, but not the Episcopal Café team. Well, no matter. It’s good to have the problem fixed.<br /><br />By the way, you did submit a comment earlier, but it was flagged by Blogger as Spam. I have no idea why.

We did not, and told him so over our email group; one member of the team occasionally had problems, but we didn't know if they were related to his internet setup. The rest of the team (myself included) didn't have issues with speed or performance on the site.<br /><br />Jon continued to receive complaints about the site speed. In my day job I'm a web developer; the Café is not one of my clients, but I decided to do some testing because we continued to get complaints. I had some free time one weekend, and discovered that the javascript animation could cause issues for different users, depending on a number of variables.<br /><br />This was a pre-built aspect of the theme we purchased, not something we added or created; once I saw that the issue was reproducible, and could be confirmed, I told Jon who asked me to immediately fix it in order to improve the user experience.<br /><br />I'm sorry if it felt like you were ignored or misled; the simple truth is that we did not initially know there was a problem with the site. I can't speak for Jon, but I appreciate your perseverance and I am sure he does as well; because of you & a few other people, we were able to track down & fix some of the performance issues!<br /><br />The site is a work in process, with no dedicated web team, but in my free time I'm continuing to try and fine-tune it. Thanks for being such a dedicated reader & letting us know about your issues--it's really appreciated!David Streeverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12851627519388966547noreply@blogger.com
