An easy way to speed up the site

Web pages (what you're looking at now) are made up of text called HTML. If you right click this page and hit View Page Source (or equivalent), you'll be able to see it. Now, some of the things in there are called elements. For example, near the top of the HTML you can see a line that looks like this:[quote][/quote]Elements within the HTML also have things called attributes, which is what I've underlined for you (there are three). Here's the problem: If you look at each of the attributes in the HTML for all of Bungie.net's pages, they're all [b][u]double quotes[/u][/b]! If the Web Team replaced all of the double quotes with single quotes, there wouldn't be so many characters that need to be sent. Thus, there would be less bandwidth being because the page sizes are smaller, reducing the strain on Bungie's servers and your connection. It's a win for everyone! I implore the Web Team to implement this change in the next site update.

Why not go even further and make em half quotes?[/quote] Psh, lets up the ante and go quarter quotes.[/quote]Do you think the page would load in a more fancy-fashion if we used triplet quotes?
