Hi, v2 club!

 

We've been working on streamlining the code for many pages on Chess.com and have finished several pages. We'd like to get some feedback on loading speed for some of these pages. 

 

Below is a list of pages that have been rewritten paired with a page that has not been rewritten. We'd like you to take a moment and load both pages and give your impression of how quickly they loaded. 

 

Please make sure you are NOT in beta for this test. (You can check here: https://www.chess.com/settings/beta)

Also, please let us know how http://www.chess.com/home (New Code) loads for you as well.

 

Thank you!

Newer computers should not see big differences. 

Avatar of Bad_Dobby_Fischer

ok

in https://www.chess.com/news, it loaded more slow than  https://www.chess.com/articles, and both http://www.chess.com/learn-how-to-play-chess and https://www.chess.com/play/apps were slower than the rest (the how to play chess was slower) 

but again, they were all pretty much the same

 Without going in to measuring specifics, I cannot tell the difference.  But, the bigger problem for me is, as I am not used to using v3, I really cannot tell you whether or not this is good or not.

98% of the time, I am in v2.  Still.  I only go in to v3 to clear up a bunch of alerts I don't need to access or to see a message someone sent me from v3 (and v2 doesn't pick up who sent it).

V3 is now a little better is many respects.

But, please, we are not going to get new computers just to play Chess, and  features which merely resemble it.

still not working at all on amazon fire

I have about 4 new players if they'd release a Amazon Fire version of their app.

This new UI is absolute crap.  I did not think the UI at chess.com could lower the bar any further, but the Dev Team accepted the challenge and succeeded in finding a way to make the incomprehensible even more obscure.

Congratulations, chess.com dev team.... you found a new low.
