The site moved to its own server and got faster
Pages are built in 6 milliseconds instead of 25. The site used to share a machine with unrelated software; now it has one to itself.
The site, the personal account and the payment flow have moved to a separate server. From the outside nothing changed: same address, same links, same accounts. What changed is speed.
How much faster
The time the server takes to build a page, measured from inside both machines so that the network is not measured along with it:
- home page: 7 ms instead of 27;
- the code reference, the heaviest page: 6 ms instead of 22;
- live data, blog, purchase: 5-7 ms instead of 22-26.
The old server shared a machine with a large unrelated system, and CarScan got a small share of it. Now the machine serves the app and the site alone.
What that means on a phone
On an ordinary home connection the first page opens in 56 ms instead of 104, the ones after it in 20 instead of 29. The difference shows most when you open many pages in a row: browsing the code reference, each one appears almost at once.
What moved
Everything: 25 tables with accounts, licences, orders and articles — 264,867 rows, checked row by row. Nothing was lost, no key stopped working, letters go out the same way as before.
Installed apps keep working without an update: the old address stays and forwards requests to the new server. There is nothing you need to do.
