1 second?

Imagine if all that use that page did that. 1 second would bring the server down to a crawl and this is why I think you need to contact the web master/owner and ask them to install a RSS feed system there.

Mm you're right but maybe they don't want to install a RSS Feed system Sad because it's strange that they haven't it yet.

Thank you. It's a good news, but every time I asked for notification they told me only to update the page.. It's wearying...

There are apps but the killer requirement is 1 second.

Many sites don't load in 1 second so I am left to guess why the 1 second requirement.

I won't pry since a few folk want to game the system of betting or other sites.

Plugin

Some people in the website are faster than me so I wonder which plugin they use to monitor the website. Maybe they've got a Mac or other.. I don't know.

Or they have a faster connection.

Remember I don't use such things but you can google about site monitoring apps. That 1 second requirement is strange. Almost like some gamer/ebay/sniper thing. Remember, don't tell me if this is in a grey bad area. I don't want to know.
