Hi all,
On the Dutch Wikipedia we have a recurring discussion about our new main page. It loads very slowly at times. Some claim it's because there's too many images and templates in it, some claim it's because servers are slow, some claim it's due to both factors.
What do experts think? ;-)

Btw: User:Waerth has even gone on strike until the old main page is put back into place... (http://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gebruiker:Waerth)
Thanks,

Hi!
Well considering the general slowness during the last days: I just accessed the main page - it loads quicker than the Neapolitan one.
I don't think that there are real problems with that page - and to tell the truth: I like it - where did you get the icons from?
Ciao, Sabine

I have no idea. :-) Ask Rex (http://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gebruiker:Rex), he designed the new main page.

In fact, it was originally designed for the Hebrew Wikipedia, but was later copied to other Wikis. The icons were designed by a Hebrew wikipedian as well.

Ah, right, thank you. I thought Rex designed it all by himself. Sorry for the misinformation!

About my knlowledge of PHP i can say that the templates are not very slow. I programmed pages with a large number of templates without problems.
The problems can be depend to connection to DB and to the stack that allows only a minimum number of concurrent connections.
