Revamped backend with better caching to make sure FantasySP stays fast and will continue to be fast for many months to come. It has been about two weeks in the making and lots of late nights. I managed to do this without any downtime whatsoever, which is pretty remarkable considering how many changes had to take place under the hood. I will continue to monitor the speed of the site in-case any further tweaks are necessary.
But that’s not it. There is more good news.
Team / Trade Analyzer Updates
The Trade/Team Analyzer for all 4 major sports have undergone a face-lift and major speed enhancements. The analyzers interface has undergone improvements in the past, but this is the biggest overhaul it has had in many months. Previously, graphs and player breakdown information would appear when mousing over particular icons or text. A window would appear that sometimes would jump off-screen where it was unreadable.
The new trade analyzers have tooltips when mousing over particular icons, and when clicked, opens up a dialog box that encompasses everything you need to know about the player. You can see it live with this nba trade. It’s easier to read and easier to navigate.
Unlike before, the player graphs are now interactive. When you mouseover the data in the graph you’ll see totals pop up making it easy to follow and understand. These new player graphs are also found on their player pages, such as Kobe Bryant’s.
Team Ratings
Fantasy team graphs have also been updated to showcase our new charts. Have a look at my fantasy basketball team’s chart, which showcases how my team has performed across the season. You can historical scoring charts for starters or the full roster. Team FantasySP.com is currently sporting a less than spectacular 0-6 record thanks to some key injuries. 🙁
Enjoy all these changes as these are just a glimpse on what is about to come. Stay tuned.
