\"Ludicrous<\/a>
\nIn my last post<\/a> I wrote about the process of creating our new Knowledge Base but that did not answer the question of how the new KB will improve the experience for users and contributors.<\/p>\n

There are so many exciting parts to the new Knowledge Base that it’s hard to know what to talk about first. The biggest improvement was also the most requested \u2013 speed<\/strong>. With our old KB it was often hard to find out why pages timed out and even harder to actually do anything about it. With the new system we know every detail and can tweak the performance, move things around and make sure that users will see a page in an instant. As has been shown time<\/a> and time<\/a> again<\/a>, speed is the ultimate measure of usefulness. Even a 3 second response time will often lead to users leaving the site or being unsatisfied with the interaction no matter how good the content. So we’ve focused heavily on this.<\/p>\n

The latest numbers we have show a huge improvement in response times \u2013 to be precise, a 28-fold increase in handled requests per second! That’s incredible indeed. The best part is that it will make the KB more useful for users as well as contributors. Gone are the days of timed out dashboards and slow loading pages.<\/p>\n

What you can do!<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Of course speed is not the only improvement with this new system. Over the next few weeks leading up to the release, we will write more about specific new features and improvements. But you don’t have to wait for the November 30th release to see for yourself. Take a look at the work-in-progress on our staging server<\/a>.<\/p>\n

If you are interested, help us make it as bug free as possible by joining us for a QA day on November 12th<\/a>. From 8am to 5pm PST we’ll gather in #sumo on IRC to make sure the KB is ready for the release. We’d love to see you there!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
