Yay, we have migrated to a new provider. Quite a lot of new pipes were installed, which has improved our page speed a fair bit, particularly for mobile users.

The old Wix site was particularly annoying for having a jerky cursor which is the terrible input latency. It took 30 seconds before you could interact with the page too!!!

The new site is a vast improvement, though still room for improvement on mobile. No more jankyness!

The other improvements are that the site is responsive now, and I added some proxying so I can mix-in Google Cloud Functions under the same domain and behind a common CDN. I’ll explain that stack in another post.

It took 4 full days to build migrate, which is time I would prefer to use coding on the game, but I think the results are worth it!
