Daniel0 Posted June 4, 2009 Share Posted June 4, 2009 AND if EVER i can get my site to load as fast as thiers, I WILL surely be back here to gloat about how great i really am It loads pretty fast, but no faster than Google for me even though I have a few extensions that modify the result page after it's been downloaded.
