Change log version 5.3 14/11/2017

General

Performance

• Private-Radar 5.3 is up to 10 times faster than 5.2. We have made many improvements on the back-end and the front-end to make your experience better than ever.
• On the front-end side, we have implemented what is called "lazy loading": modules are only loaded when you need them. This makes the loading of the first page much faster. You will notice it particularly with low bandwidth or on slow computers or tablets / smartphones.
