Support:
We rebuilt our support section from the ground up. Using the latest Bootstrap 3.30 and jquery 1.11.1. The support section is now also viewable with IE8 and higher (and all modern browsers) using html5shiv.js 3.7.2 and respond.js. 
- Support section is now responsive, viewable with your computer, tablet and smart phone.
- Live search, where possible. (results shown while you enter your key word.)

Forum and wiki:
The templates codes used for the forum and wiki where old, really old. They both are original modules from ExpressionEngine, maintained but no features added. So what we did, we rebuilt the templates using Bootstrap 3.30. This took time but we think really added that extras we needed.
- Responsive, viewable with your computer, tablet and smart phone.
- prefix, specially used in our "Bug Reports" section. 
- responsive images and video

Passing 200 designscans:
We are proud to announce that we past the 200 DesignScans last week.

Next:
We will start rolling out our new design for the back-end.
DesignScan pro will be activated and access for the Designers and Developers.

​CMS:
We upgraded our ExpressionEngine version from 2.7.3 to 2.9.0. ExpressionEngine is the core for DesignScan. This update has first been done on our developer version of DesignScan.me so that all problems where solved before moving to the live version.

It took longer than we participated, but we did it. Lot of modules, plug-ins and extensions needed to be updated or code slightly altered to run with the new EE 2.9.

• Template codes needed to be altered (due to a new conditionals parser)
• Testing member section and payment module (mayor update as well)

​Image:
From now on we use “lossless” compression for our image compression.

• gifsicle
• pngquant
• pngout
• jpegoptim

gifsicle -b -O2 --no-names --no-comments --same-delay --same-loopcount --no-warnings {{path}}
pngquant --quality=70-85 --ext=.png --force {{path}}
pngout -q {{path}}
jpegoptim --strip-all --all-progressive -q {{path}}

This resulted in significant savings in terms of KB's.

​

Optimising:
We combined and minified our stylesheets and javascript files.

• for css: minify
• for js: jsmin

Resulting in appealing 1 stylesheet file and 1 javascript file.
Our HTML is minified as well, look at our websites source code.
 

Caching:
We use APC (Alternative PHP Cache) as php Opcode.
Redis for key-value cache and store
Server: Gzip enabled.
 

Result:

Passing 100 designscans:
