HTTP/2 support and annoying bugs fixed

The number of ips and urls to monitor keeps increasing. This is good news of course, but it also means needing to pay attention to scaling properly. Last week it was finally time to drop a very inefficient JOIN statement from the frontend code. This has been in the making for more than 6 months, since the legacy code and data requiring the JOIN had to be phased out first.

Another performance boost is that since today ShadowTrackr supports HTTP/2. The new ability to process parallel requests helps speed up the loading of some of the slowest pages.

Some clients had a high volume of annoying messages on their timeline, and that should be fixed now. The most important changes:

• Clear and timely SSL certificate messages
• Websites for ignored urls are now ignored too
• The false positive for doubly issued certificates is gone

Lastly, Amazon Cloudfront users experienced some timeline spam due to a lagging ip range update. This resulted in a lot of new ip messages. As of today, Amazon and Cloudflare ip ranges are updated automatically and this problem is fixed.

If you still have annoying messages that you'd like to get rid of, let me know!
