Bad Response time and 303 redirect for i18n SEO

[Trip]

Hi there,

I recently updated to PS 1.4.8.

I tested the performance but so far 2 things make me wonder and I like to discuss. I saw that the

redirect from the main domain to the i18n url eg tld.com to tld.com/de/ takes more than half a second. I am not sure but I think the client needs a second new connection after the redirect and that takes a lot of time. Everyone is discussing how to optimize databases etc.pp. but in fact the database is fast but the redirect is extremely slow and annoying.

The second thing I wonder is why it is achieved by a 303 redirect? AFAIK this is used to prevent resubmitting forms and so what I found out it is not passing PR and generally people warn to use it.

Maybe someone can clarify the situation or tell me that I am wrong

Best regards, trip
