This just shows a blank, light grey page. I assume it should do more than that.

EDIT: It loaded, after more than 10 seconds. The HTML loaded in less than a second, as did the images, but your 500 kilobytes of JavaScript (what? why?) took 10 seconds to download. And the page was blank until everything had loaded.

Thanks,

May have been our server sputtering a bit. JS is just rails, bootstrap and a few others, will need to look into size.

Google Chrome Version 31.0.1650.63 m on Windows 7 works fine. Are you running any script or ad blockers?
Hey Waterlion,

Yes it should. Browser/Device?

Chrome 31.0.1650.63 on a not-slow connection, no extensions. See my edit, the JS file took a long time to load.

After a few cache-resets and refreshes, it reduces to 5 seconds. It might have been a cold CloudFront cache but still. I'm no front-end expert, but I'm not sure you need all those functions just to show a splash page and validate a form.
