Sponsors page: latency

[reshamas]

@purna135
I've cleared my history on this in Opera, and I still cannot see any of the Sponsor logos:
https://pymcon.com/sponsors/

If I go into Incognito on Chrome, I can see the whole page.

What do I need to do to be able to see the entire Sponsors page (with the logos) and the "Become a Sponsor" section on my Opera browser? It's so odd.

Thanks Reshma for reporting this

I dont think this an issue with anything with the code but whatever is serving the page and how the browsers handle latency.

Perhaps we need to host the site on Netlify or some other faster host, Github is free after all so i doubt its going to serve content the fastest

The advantage of hosting on Netlify is we would see the deploy preview, right?

I also think wed get faster serving which would mitigate issues like this. The downside is we'd have to pay for it and maintain more infra. Perhaps theres others, Meenal knows more about Netlify than I do

Although, as Ravin stated, there should be no code issues, please allow me to test the site in Opera in case there are any browser-related issues.

As expected, I don't see any issues in my Opera browser; if you're still having problems, can we connect over a call to see if there's a cache issue? or can you see your console tab if there is any repost of any broken links?

Hi! yeah netlify does a bit of auto-adjustments and optimizations for different browsers which github pages doesn't. Also, I think netlify is free unless we want it to do high traffic deploys such as "re-deploying every 30 seconds" which isn't needed. I use netlify for a couple of personal things and it works fine.

Currently as well netlify is being used.

https://pymcon.netlify.app/sponsors/

this is the URL of the page in netlify, the only thing we would need to do is - point the A/CNAME things of the domain to netlify name servers. Let me know if that sounds like something we want to do, it's only 2-5 mins of setup.

But before that, @reshamas can you check the link above and see if it works in all browsers for you

Great idea, if netilify is better at hosting then github lets move it over, especially if its free. I havent had experience with netilify hosting so glad to hear its working well for you Meenal
