Liquid Fire Posted February 14, 2008 Share Posted February 14, 2008 All data has been collected form fireFox and firebug. Ok I have noticed somthing very strange with server load time. Lets say i initially load a page for the first time. for this perticular page it loaded 332KB(none from cache) worth of js, css, images and is took 3.71 seconds to load that with with the total load time of the page at 4.266 seconds. Now if i press F5 it again loads 332KB data but 315 or it is from cache and the load for that laod with 3.32 seconds and load page load was 3.890 seconds. now if i focus the url and just press enter without changing the address, which i thought was teh same thing as a F5 refresh, it only loads 269KB(and firbug does not show any images being loaded event tho i seem them) and only take 766micro second with total page load time of 1.203 seconds. This seems to be true for IE as well(don't know specific load time tho). So my question is exactly what is the difference from doing a f5 and hitting enter from the url boc to load a page? is there some sort fo setting to get f5 to refresh as quick as hitting enter in the url box?

powerspike Posted February 15, 2008 Share Posted February 15, 2008 i believe the way reload works, is that it checks if all the files are the same, where as if you goto the url again (re-visiting - not reloading) it doesn't check "static" files. I have seen this as well, personally i don't worry about it at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
