MikeP: Thanks.

I guess that the BBC site is having to do lots of tracking to ensure that the correct content is provided to UK and non-UK visitors.

The only tracking that I use is Google Analytics. Which I really like because of the "real time" view it has, and also the ability to work on my Nexus 4.

Just in case that anyone is interested, I have found two tools very useful for improving site performance.

First is the excellent Google Chrome browser's "PageSpeed Insights". Just press F12 (or choose "Developer options") and the last option for PageSpeed.

For an external test, I use Pingdom's excellent Website speed test

Also, I have two "exciting" new features for UK Free TV, which I'm going to post up "beta" version of very shortly.

I've done some extra changes.

1. I have moved the Twitter feed to a separate box on the right hand side;

2. I have changed the software and capabilities of the AWS "image" servers. The three servers now share the load of providing images more equally.

3. I have updated the "http cache" headers to make changing from one page to the next better;

4. I have changed the way the font loads for the headers: the redraw of that text is now much better from a visual point-of-view
