Could we get a faster loading "landing page" instead of immediately showing a selection of your pets?

Even with the page now being paginated, it can still be problematic to load. Last night, I just wanted to buy a new pet slot and create a new pet. The page kept throwing 502s at me. It took several attempts to finally access the slot buying page. As for creating a pet, I had to turn to Google to bypass "Your Pets" page after it refused to do anything but give me errors.

I suggest having some kind of "Pet Dashboard" that links to everything on current pets page, but doesn't display your pets. Instead, "Your Pets" would be a separate link on the dashboard, so you only load that page if you need it.

Pet Dashboard would look something like this (with icons, of course):

Your Pets - Pet Slots - Create Pet - Free Food - Spotlight - Change Order - Job Agency - Treasure Slots - Custom Overlays - Name Exchange

Anything else that might be useful to add to a Pet Dashboard? Maybe a link to Adopt R Us, for example?

(I couldn't find a recent topic similar to this. If it's already been suggested and recently active, please link me and lock this one! ^-^)

Edit 1: Added in "Pet Slots" as an option for a Pet Dashboard. I'm thinking this could be a page not only for buying CSC slots, but also detailing other ways to get extra slots? A link to the sP slots at the Millionaire Center, and info on Loyalty Totems and event slots.

Relocating the links to a more accessible location could be an option too (thanks, ). Maybe a "Pets" tab in the navigation menu, with all relevant links under it?

Edit 2: Added Treasure Slots link. Suggest that this leads to GA "bulk transfer" page. See here.

I support this. I find it incredibly annoying how slowly the pets page loads sometimes. Usually I get the loading icon for 30+ seconds, and sometimes longer, until I refresh and it magically appears.

Another option for this could be to remove all the links from the top of the pets page, and relocate them to a more accessible location.

That'd work too. Perhaps Pets should have their own dedicated tab in the top navigation bar, with all the options under it, instead of having "Pets" under the "Personal" tab?

Now that we can transfer treasure chest slots between pets, how about adding a link to that on the pets page?

Everyone can transfer TC slots from one pet to another from a link on the regular TC page of the pet they want to give slots to, but GA users have access to a bulk transfer.

I'd like to see a Treasure Slots link on the pets page, leading to the bulk transfer. I don't know what the page currently shows for non-GA users, but I suggest the following:

  • Statement that bulk TC slot transfer is a feature for GA users.
  • Description of how bulk transfer works
  • Link to GA medals in Cash Shop
  • Directions on how to transfer slots between pets, from an individual pet's TC management page.

This would make the bulk transfer feature more accessible, and put it somewhere people are more likely to see it. Especially useful for new and returning users who likely wouldn't have seen the news post, and may not be aware of it. Hell, I'd almost forgotten the thing existed!

If we can make pet related suggestions for mobile too - I would love to have a functioning pets.php page on mobile.

Also, mobile has absolutely no hint on my active pet or anything. I mean I see my avatar, my money but not my pets, not even the active one. Doesn't make sense imo and I would love to have this fixed.

I support and don't support this suggestion at the same time. I do like the idea of a landing page, so I can quickly access other links like name exchanging etc.

However, just moving the Your Pets page doesn't solve the overall problem. Things like renaming a pet can only be accessed from this page, and isn't even available from picking a pet from the dropdown menu. The pets page needs to be completely recoded. Even with 10 pets per page, it still takes forever to load on a fast internet connection and powerful computer.

The best way to be happy with someone is to be happy alone. That way, company is a matter of choice and not a necessity.

I'm all for a change in the layout for the my pets page to make it faster loading (even on the minimum of 10 pets showing, it still takes a while to load, and trying to load the other pages to find one specific pet (I can never remember which page a certain pet is likely to be on :P) can take what feels like forever) :)

However, I'm not sure that adding in another page with those links would be much better - I would prefer to have the same page, but to have the links at the top to load first, with a button underneath to then load the pets (assuming that would make it faster to load). Definitely Adopt-R-Us needs to be added to those links, as that isn't very easy to find unless you really know your way around ;)

meant to post my support for this forever ago, but either way, the pet page could use some help. honestly, i'd like a text-only version if possible, but a dashboard could be nice depending on how it's implemented. i would definitely like to see links for pet slots, the adopt-r-us, and the bulk transfer page in the header somehow, or on a landing page of some sort if there's not enough room across the top.

I've brought this up since it certainly is very slow to load right now. We have some ideas for improving it, but it'll take some time since it may require a lot of work.

For now, if it has trouble loading for you the first time, try refreshing the page. It should be faster on the second load because the first load is when the data gets cached, but the second load can just load from the cache.

Hey everyone. I spent the past few days working on getting the pets page to load faster. In fact, it loads so fast now that Keith decided we don't need to paginate it anymore! Feeling proud. Go check it out! :)

- thanks for the changes!

I have noticed though that it doesn't tell me how many treasure chest spaces I have. Also, it doesn't mention if the pet is in the resort or not.

Thank you for noticing those! There's so much stuff on that page. I think I overlooked those things! I will get to work to add them back asap!

Is the page set on a cache now? I just increased my pet's stats, but the update isn't showing on the pet page right away now like it did before. How long should it take to update the information?

[edit]It seems like other things aren't updating now either, such as pet hunger (Hunger not changing.) and also my pet's health is showing as a lot less than full even though I just finished battling with nearly full health.

Edit 2: Another list of some things no longer updating since the changes. unusual pet page issues

Wow, thank you so much for this fix! Ngl I didn't believe you at first when you said this page didn't need to be paginated anymore, and I was pleasantly surprised.

I'm curious now if the pet rank thing was what was behind the horrible lag? I noticed that you have to click it now to display the rank. (Which I'm perfectly fine with, since pet rank isn't something I care about personally).
