now I cannot say if Silmar Alech flushed the cache to make is test. but if he is able to make a test I would assume that the cache as been cleared. maybe ask him if he cleared the cache.
The cache wasn’t cleared. This is obvious by the fact that it’s a 304 response (Not Modified), which can only occur when the browser has a cached copy. You can try this yourself by simply using the network capture and clicking the top link, with caching enabled of course. Considering you’ve apparently never seen a 304 response, you likely have the option set to clear your cache on each page load.
as for the 4 second I did not see it in either link you gave using the dev tool performance test. everything came out in ms.
on mine it did not take 4 second but like I stated I use edge the only browser that make the page response before all the js is loaded if you get a 4 second and I don’t it could be the reason, you can have more detail by reading this:
https://blogs.windows.com/msedgedev/2017/06/01/input-responsiveness-event-loop-microsoft-edge/#Oz5666XiK7cCKhbz.97The red underlined entry with an arrow is 3992ms. 1000ms = 1s, so 3992ms is 4s rounded.
what is guildwars2 website it is a domain name that once you make the search query will pull up a through a dns server a address to connect to a server that host the domain where the database is stored. that it use a cdn to connect you to the closest server to save the number of hoops is fine, but why would it need a redirect to give you a server resource? since the data is suppose to be on the server?
Remember, this was originally about the images with a 304 response, which you thought was a redirect, when it simply means the resource hasn’t changed and doesn’t need to be downloaded. Do you understand why the images and all other static resources are hosted through the CDN rather than the main servers? You should, since you wrote about it. Hosting those files on the these servers would only increase load times.
in the case of the html path of fire it is the first thing that is suppose to load on a page so why does it need a redirect if it is stored on the server?
yes the html is the first thing to load.
Remember when you copy/pasted this from wikipedia:
URL redirection is done for various reasons: for URL shortening;
That’s basically why. All off the primary topic links are shortened URLs that link to a reference page. That page is the server determining which post you’ve last seen and redirecting you to that post.
Yes, they could have done it without the redirection, but it’s simpler this way and it normally wouldn’t matter.
in the case of the guildwars2 image that will load with css or js why does it need a redirect if it is stored on the server?
I’m guessing this was written before you understood what 304 was? Or perhaps you’re wondering why these resources are hosted through a CDN, although you’ve mentioned it earlier?
healix I know all that I tough that Silmar Alech add cleared is cache before making is test since in is test it stated a 302 and 304 redirect. and if it does not redirect to is cache then it would be redirect to a resource outside.
