FORT LAUDERDALE, FL–(Marketwire – May 12, 2010) – This week Catalogs.com, one of the internet’s most trusted sources for catalog shopping online, unveiled a new web page system which will allow customers across the globe to load their favorite catalogs faster than ever with one simple click. The result of this investment is up to 25 percent faster loading pages of the selection of gift catalogs and products available through Catalogs.com.

For over 13 years, Catalogs.com has offered its 950,000 monthly visitors unsurpassed shopping service. This Florida-based company has continued to evolve as web technology continues to grow and change. Now by compressing pages, images and reference files; specifying image dimensions; combining other files; and enabling image caching, customers are enjoying faster page loading and delivery times of favorite home décor and other catalogs.

While the recent innovations have focused primarily on enhanced customer experience, a secondary benefit is the expected improved search engine rankings for Catalogs.com. Recently Google announced that site speed is now an important aspect of their search ranking formula, as it is a sign of how quickly (or slowly) a website reacts to an online request. This means that the thousands of stores and products available through Catalogs.com such as fine jewelry will be easier for customers to find when shopping through search engines.

Given a project of this magnitude, Catalogs.com needed to revamp the company codebase. Now compared to the previous system, page load time has increased significantly. Project feedback indicates that customers are enjoying the recent changes and the faster page load speeds.

Catalogs.com Co-founder Leslie Linevsky continues to spread her message to new and returning customers alike. “Here at Catalogs.com, we listen to our customers; we invest in technology that helps us deliver a better product to our visitors. We found out that if we could make our pages load faster, our shoppers would appreciate it.” Linevsky adds that the overarching goal of the improvements was to make visits to the Catalogs.com website as pleasant and user-friendly as possible.

Fort Lauderdale, FL (May 10, 2010) – Give five avid catalog shoppers a list of dads, 650 online catalogs and a looming deadline. End up with gift ideas for every dad, from personalized poker bar glasses to a cedar-lined cigar case.

The very best ideas and shopping deals are featured in the 2010 Father’s Day Gift Guide.

“Dads come in all ages, all sizes and all personalities, and Catalogs.com is the place to find exactly what you are looking for, even if you don’t know it until you see it,” says Catalogs.com co-founder, Leslie Linevsky. “Many people stress about choosing a gift for someone, so we try to think out of the box and do some creative shopping. Someone here said, ‘How about these cool skateboards,’ and what better gift for a young, first-time dad? We spend every day working with great catalogs and shopping Web sites, so we all are ‘expert shoppers.’”

Items on the Father’s Day Gift Guide cover a wide range of hobbies, interests and budgets. At the luxury end of the spectrum is a remote control Ferrari boat from Hand Crafted Model Ships, on sale for $699. At the opposite end of the price spectrum, the gift guide features a digital photo keychain, from HandStands, for $29.99. The Father’s Day Gift Guide covers motorcycle gear, spa supplies, jewelry, golf gadgets and tools.

For inspired gift-giving, the internet delivers thousands and thousands of shopping options. A gift guide is a great tool to guide your search. If the ideas on a gift guide don’t fit, they at least send a shopper browsing in the right direction. A gift for a dad, stepdad or a grandfather should show that someone spent time looking for just the gift that he will truly enjoy.
