This past weekend saw a significant boost to the capacity of our site, with an install in our datacenter doubling the number of application servers. The results so far from our testing tools have been positive, with the WebJunction home page (www.webjunction.org) seeing sub-9 second response times when measured from 40 global cities across a variety of test setups. This is down from the 20 second plus home page load times from just two weeks ago. More work remains on deeper pages on the site, but we’re excited about this positive step in the right direction.
As always, if you have specific questions or problems, please email us at support@webjunction.org or share them in the help & support discussions. Watch BlogJunction for additional weekly updates.

Howdy WebJunction friends and OCLC Colleagues:
These performance updates are very helpful! I struggled some in previous weeks with response time and a few blind links, but personally have not been bothered by slow responses or links to nowhere since last weekend’s upgrades. The assistance and training from individuals such as Kathleen, Zola, Linda, Rachel, Denise, Clayton, Michael, William and others are superb! What a treat for me to be associated and working with all of you!! Many thanks, Rich
Rich, this is great to hear. Thank you!!
