Hey guys,

Just noticed your site loads fine in IE10 then kicks me out saying I'm using IE6...

Might want to fix that.

Wow, that is really fast. This article is really detailed and has given me lots of things to look at tonight.

I'm assuming based on the WPMinify mention that this is a WP site - would be curious to know if the speed improvements were all in html/css/js and caching, or if there was anything done to WP as well.

This should be fixed now, a purge CDN cache did the trick

Thanks! We use WP Engine to host the site, which they have a pretty nice system set in place to host WordPress. They have a page on their system architecture here: http://wpengine.com/our-infrastructure/

Basically, it just comes down to caching in a brilliant way. But other than that, we did not do anything special to WordPress itself.

Hehe, it's my favorite! Solarized Dark is a beast in the terminal too.
