Readers may have noticed the site down for short periods of time recently. This is due to the following.

1. I moved the location the site is hosted. 3 times the cost, but about 20 times the hardware speed. I share a server with 20 times fewer other sites.

2. I have added caching which resulted in the site loading in 2/3 the time.

3. There were module conflicts that slowed loading and caused error messages.

In plain English, the site is on a faster computer, a speedup program has been added, and the software has been tuned up.  We have gone from a maximum load time in the past of about 30 seconds to a load time of 5 to 8 seconds.
