Why does the home page load slowly while the other pages load quickly ?
This website was developed using the latest web technology. When you load the home page it compiles the program running in the background first. When subsequent pages are requested the program is already compiled and the page will be served almost immediately (quicker than conventional pages). Most of the pages on this website are dynamically set up from a database running in the background and there is very little static content. This is the reason why events, listings and advertisements change every time you browse the pages. This also enables us to make a mass of information available in seconds. The programming was done in VB.NET with a backend database.
