<p class="lead">The first phase of our comprehensive <a href="http://www.wowarmory.com">Armory</a> optimization is now live. The goal of this ongoing optimization is to increase performance, functionality, and intuitiveness across the board.</p>


<p>The first phase includes the following specific improvements:</p>

<li>
<p>
<strong><a href="http://www.wowarmory.com/updates.xml">Smarter, faster results pages</a></strong>The Armory's various search results pages respond more quickly when changing pages or sorting within the results. The Armory's right hand panel also takes advantage of this new speed and now remembers what page you were last viewing as well.</p>
