While sipping on an endless supply of coffee and performing speed comparisons for various search queries hotelgymreview.com slowly evolved. From what started as a simple concept grew a need for faster results, better algorithms, and more features.
HotelGymReview.com has gone through several major revisions since the concept was first presented and our mock ups created. We have improved our “Write a Review” form and ranking algorithm, searched for the infamous best server ever, and performed countless optimisations to improve speed, accuracy, and improve our SERP rankings. Our team sees no end to the possibilites ahead of us nor to our favourite website.
HGR was developed using several common languages and technologies including PHP, MySQL, Apache, Debian Linux, JavaScript, Ajax, and of course CSS/XML/XHTML. We have speed tested and compared Amazon’s CloudFront to Rackspace’s Cloud Files, tried our three different servers, and have run several page speed optimisation tests.
Our algorithm to determine the HGR Ranking for hotel results although secretive at the moment was compiled after discussion with experts and our team to determine what criteria would qualify the best results for fitness minded travelers.
HotelGymReview.com is here to stay and to serve our community. Don’t forget to send us your suggestions.
Until Next Time,
