Last week I migrated the site over to a new database server system. Similar to the
web server upgrade several month back, this is a hardware side-grade and a major software upgrade. New system, and many major upgrades to the software, and many general maintenance updates. Since there are huge improvements that come with the new software, I expect that the site performance should now be further improved.
Also, the trial run of the encrypted connections went quite well, so I have made the change global. All URLs on the celica-gts.com domain now enforce HTTPS. This is a very good thing for security and privacy because all of the data being sent to and from your web browser is now encrypted.
Please let me know if you notice any issues.
