Re: [VuFind-General] Slow page loading

[Andrew N. <and...@vi...>]

Sean - I was just peaking around at some older emails.  I was wondering how your vufind implementation has been going.  Were you able to overcome some of the performance issues?

Would you mind if I listed your site on the vufind.org website?

Thanks
Andrew
