This project started as a personal tool with a forgettable URL. Now it has a proper home: cruiseden.com. All the old URLs redirect automatically, so bookmarks and saved links still work. The www subdomain redirects too.
While setting up the new domain, we also tackled some performance work. The homepage was taking longer to load than it should have. After profiling, we tracked it down to a couple of expensive database queries that ran on every page load. Port filter data now caches for 15 minutes instead of re-querying each time, and some non-critical database writes were moved to happen after the page finishes rendering instead of before. The result: noticeably faster page loads across the site.
