Looks good! I did one byte's worth of copyediting—but forgot to log in so you'll never prove it was me!

One question about this claim:
That's roughly an increase of 300,000 to 1.3 million additional page views a day into our projects!

I read that to claim that people using the portal would not view those pages anyway. Would it be more accurate to say something like, "...additional page views a day from the portal into our projects!" or some such?

It's always cool to reflect on how a few percentage points increase in performance can affect hundreds of thousands or even millions of people!

Thanks Chris! 

I added some info back in - I thought telling a story about why we did the testing and what we'll be going forward with was important. I know with these additions, I made it a little word-ier, but hopefully the blog and community folks will like it too. :)

Here's my edits.

Cheers,

Deb

After some feedback from the blog folks I have an updated draft to share. Please take a look and provide any corrections. I think it tells the bigger story of changes coming to production, and explains our research quite well (not the other way around!).

I simplified the language, made it about 100 words shorter, put the big news at the top, and removed passive voice and adverbs.


Here's a diff of my slew of changes.
