- Turns out our Redis install was broken. Redis is a cache system that can speed up various things with PHP (if actually used). GOL uses it in a few places, so this was a problem. It's now fixed. Turns out I didn't have anything in place to tell me if Redis wasn't available, woops, I do now.
- We're now using Redis to store article views, instead of hitting the database to update each individual view. I noticed recently some stalls, which was the SQL server timing out at times from lots of visits during heavier traffic. The database gets updated every 30 minutes via a cron to match up the Redis views cache to the database row for articles. This one single thing should improve load times a fair bit.
Not entirely sure on the title placement at the top, might put it back to the bottom. Might also add a "Featured" icon of some kind to it - thoughts anyone?
