Technical FAQ
This
page is for technical questions about this website.
If you have
any questions about this website not answered below,
please contact me on info@bfcsa.co.uk
Yahoo!
I have prevented Yahoo!
from indexing this site as it was attempting to index it
100s of times per week - downloading five times as much
as Google in one week.
Please note that the
Yahoo! search engine may no longer be up to date for
searching this site. This doesn't affect any other search
engines.
This has nothing to do
with how many times it is used to find the site by
visitors. On the contrary, in one week Google UK* was
used 250 times compared to Yahoo!'s 15.
* This doesn't include
Google from other countries.
Fasterfox
The Fasterfox extension
for Firefox prefetches pages by downloading all the links
on any given page. This has the advantage that if you
click on a link it has already been downloaded in the
background and the page will appear straightaway. But it
has the big disadvantage to the BFCSA in that we have to
pay for all the bandwidth this uses up. Especially when
you take into account the fact that hardly anyone will
visit more than a few pages in any one visit.
However, Fasterfox
honours the robots.txt file, so I'll let it off ;-) This
site prevents Fasterfox prefetching as described on the Fasterfox FAQ.
