This is very useful information for my own project, thanks. BaconBizConf sounds like a really fun conference too.

The new is definitely an improvement, but both load fairly slowly - I would try improve this next, or at least allow staged loading so visitors have something to start looking at quickly while the rest loads.

This is surprising. It's just HTML on S3 with cloudflare in front. Maybe Typekit is slowing it down...

Awesome. I'm glad it helped. BaconBizConf was awesome, I highly recommend it for bootstrappers.

It may just be my own setup but to me it seemed slower to load than many other sites I visit.

Looks good but I wasn't sure what was being "launched". Is it software or the book?

Probably a dumb question, what is the benefit from using Cloudflare? If I naively set up a page like this I would have just done S3 directly, right?

Just a book. Software soon. I wanted to start with something small that I could do relatively quickly, so I'm writing a book. Then I will convert readers of my book into customers for my software.

Do you have any stats from your analytics you could share? It would be great to see the business side effect.
