Over the past couple of weeks, we’ve been hard at work to improve several areas of our site, in particular optimizing the website to improve loading times substantially.
I don’t want to get too technical, but to give you a few ideas of what has been improved, we have decreased the size of images everywhere on the site, making them load much faster. We have also done a number of things to make the initial page request way faster, giving you about 200% faster page loads and up to 3x faster browsing in the store.
Those that are on a super fast, optic fiber connection with the newest computer hardware might not notice much of a difference (but there will be one for sure ), but those people with “normal” Internet connections, standard hardware will definitely be able to see the difference. Also, if you browse the store from a mobile device or a netbook on a Edge/3G cellular data connection, you’ll be happy to hear that not only is the site that much faster to browse, but we’ve done everything we can to decrease the “cost” of browsing our site for you, basically decreasing the size of all the data you’re requesting so you end up with a lower data usage

Also, if you browse the store from a mobile device or a netbook on a Edge/3G cellular data connection, you’ll be happy to hear that not only is the site that much faster to browse, but we’ve done everything we can to decrease the “cost” of browsing our site for you, basically decreasing the size of all the data you’re requesting so you end up with a lower data usage 
Two weeks ago, we updated the wishlist feature of the site. We had been receiving a number of request for the wishlist and thought it was one part of the site that deserved a nice update.
