Hi,
site loading speed is slow try to make it faster other than site is very NIce

**smoseley** · 12-10-2010, 04:47 PM

Hmmm... how slow is it? Is it the whole site or just the Facebook components? Those are loaded through the FB Open Graph framework, so I can't control their loading speed. Thanks for the feedback.

Site took a good 4 seconds to load. The page was blank and then after 4 seconds it all rendered at once. I think the site looks very clean and the design is good. I can't say I agree with the site purpose though lol. I just think if marijuana was legal the country would be unproductive and eat too much.(even though we already eat too much) =p

The site is great. Nice blended green bar there..and the content is really driving. Good work but too much loading time taken.

Your site takes too long to load. The first improvement you need is: work on your site to load soon.

****... I hadn't realized how long it takes to load. I think it may be all the JS Libraries I'm using (FB Connect, Google Maps, and Cartographer, which is a 1 MB download itself). Maybe I can load the map with AJAX to decrease load time. Thanks for the feedback guys!

The map on the home page is a little glitchy. See if you can fine tune it.

Bit slow to load and render. Hive off any FB stuff to another page - get rid off those connections and downloads. The map is a major feature and should stay on the home page. General comment: very nice page in looks and on-page functionality.

Just check this out:

HTTP Requests - 92
Total Weight - 2318.3K

You website is too slow and it does to many HTTP Request.

I am really surprise that the clean website you have it is too heavy..

You have alone 24 JavaScript Files with a weight of 2352.6K, which are monsters that affect directly the speed of your site.

the map looks fine looks like you changed it to ajax already, the load time is pretty slow for me and I'm using super highspeed internet from my work..the design is fresh and clean I'm likeing it you have a really good idea too lots of pot heads want pot legal in america so you should have no shortage on traffic so I say you got a good thing going here! good job

It looks good, making it easy to vote with Facebook is awesome. You might want to make one change to the things you access through facebook, now I'm afraid you're going to post something on my wall, which is going to get my mother in law and her sister thinking I am a pothead, lol.

Maybe add something like "why do you think it should be legal/illegal/etc." - I think that would be very interesting to read and would also help argue the case to legalize it. Maybe a discussion board or some sort of place where people can list their thoughts about it.

All in all design is perfectly simple, so wouldn't change anything there. Good luck with it!

even if i like the style of the site very much, i have to say there are many deficiencies.
first, the menu block the back of logo words.
second, there is no any links.
third, the left anf right of the layout looks asymmetric.
fourth, the whole site feels very vague.
in a word, i feel the site finished hastily.

**charlestaylor98** · 12-14-2010, 03:26 AM

put design flaws aside, I think the entire site ,no matter its color or

or content, all looked very monotonous.i advise if your site have not finished, please finish it at once.
