RE: Slow load times.
It is not about the traffic, I think. Many sites with a lot of traffic -and images- load way faster.
I think it's the software. FuseTalk uses ColdFusion, a program that handles media resources, also has modules working independent -as the PM or Chat features- of the main stream of programming, that make the overall product work inefficiently.
Some say it could be the server but I don't know bad commercial servers nowadays.
We quit to buy FuseTalk after comparing it with other products. The only aspect in which it won in our analysis was the user interface.
Edit. Something is missing: the site slows down maybe because the traffic increases or the server gets busy in some point when the software demands too many resources while other brands don't.
