Pages seem to be loading extremely slow this am.

Anyone else having the same experience?

Returning (back) to former page is fine; just waiting for loading of new page

Kirk Allen · « **Reply #1 on:** March 12, 2009, 09:01:51 AM »

What type of connection do you have? I am on dial up and although its slow for me, it seems to be the same has it has been.

Sometimes clearing your cookies can help, depending on how you have them set up on page visits.

Slow here too and I'm on DSL. Search finds the page with google ads displayed and then takes for ever to load the rest. Happens every time I open front page and then when I try and open "next" page or go back to previous page. No indication of any activity with a turning globe, or active download over modem. Almost like a pause (count ten) and then loads fine.

same here I got DSL too thought it was my pc almost took a hammer to it

Stevem · « **Reply #4 on:** March 12, 2009, 10:07:05 PM »

Something happened and it's fast now!

Kirk Allen · « **Reply #5 on:** March 12, 2009, 10:12:52 PM »

I removed the Bidvitiser banner. Seemed to make a big difference on my end so it had to be bad if I can notice it on dial up.

Stephen Wiley · « **Reply #6 on:** March 13, 2009, 08:06:25 AM »

Well..............it was doing better (faster) last night. This morning its even slower than yesterday. $:-\$

I have cable which is fast. All my other programs are operating at speed.

Stevem · « **Reply #7 on:** March 13, 2009, 12:36:51 PM »

Me too

Kirk Allen · « **Reply #8 on:** March 13, 2009, 01:54:36 PM »

Are you noticing the slow down at a certain time of day?

Server has looked into it and the only thing that they could find that was taking time to load was the bidvitiser adds so I pulled them.

Turn on your pop up blocker and see if that makes a difference.

Stephen Wiley · « **Reply #9 on:** March 14, 2009, 06:06:36 PM »

Kirk, I was on earlier this am.................very slow

Fast now...........time: 4:05 pm pacific time.

Kirk Allen · « **Reply #10 on:** March 14, 2009, 06:19:29 PM »

Who is your internet service through? Large population on the same system can bog it down but not sure if thats what the problem is.

We cant find anything on our end, other than deleating the free banners and I rather not do that.

Stephen Wiley · « **Reply #11 on:** March 14, 2009, 08:28:16 PM »

cable broadband provider

Kirk Allen · « **Reply #12 on:** March 14, 2009, 08:53:15 PM »

Please tell me you now see a significant improvement.

I ran an optimization of the data base and it seems to be a boat load faster on my dial up so I suspect your seeing an improvement as well.

mics_54 · « **Reply #13 on:** March 14, 2009, 11:03:02 PM »

last two days its slow in the am fast at night

Frank Pender - AKA "Tail Gunner" · « **Reply #14 on:** March 15, 2009, 08:29:43 AM »

I am slow all day, myself.

Now, this page was really slow to show up and when it did it was not complete, but icons continued to show and move around on the page.

Carl Middleton · « **Reply #15 on:** March 15, 2009, 08:41:28 AM »

working pretty good on my end

mics_54 · « **Reply #16 on:** March 15, 2009, 10:46:40 AM »

10-12 second load this am again.

Kirk Allen · « **Reply #17 on:** March 15, 2009, 04:16:00 PM »

Got this note from the server host.

If it's early (before 6 AM) the server is processing statistics, and doing backups. When it's backing up your website, your website will get slow.

That's pretty much a tradeoff between the safety/security of having backups/restore points, and not having anything when your site crashes.

The server you are on is not overloaded, and never has high loads.

DaveK · « **Reply #18 on:** March 16, 2009, 04:06:45 PM »

We have DSL through centurytel and some pages are really slow loading right now.

Stevem · « **Reply #19 on:** March 16, 2009, 08:46:46 PM »

It's good and fast tonight.

Kirk Allen · « **Reply #20 on:** March 16, 2009, 11:01:15 PM »

Im on the road and here at the hotel its lightning fast!

DaveK · « **Reply #21 on:** March 17, 2009, 05:31:08 PM »

I tried to get on the site a couple of hours ago and finally gave up after several tries. I probably spent a couple of minutes waiting for the home page to load before I gave up. The only thing that would display were the google adds at the top of the page.

When I decided to add this reply, it probably took 10 seconds for the "post reply" page to load. I'm no computer guru, but if there is anything I can try that might help diagnose what is going on I'd sure be willing to try. Just let me know.

Long time lurker first time post here.

For whatever reason the website is fast again. It has been terribly slow for a week or so. I'm using IE with windows xp with comcast internet.

joasis · « **Reply #23 on:** March 17, 2009, 08:06:38 PM »

Welcome to the forum!

julian the woodnut · « **Reply #24 on:** March 18, 2009, 09:47:45 AM »

Thanks for the freindly greeting.

It's 9:46 am and it's slow again. Other sites load fine....

Murf · « **Reply #25 on:** March 18, 2009, 11:04:52 AM »

Same here, the Google banner ads load fast, then it hangs and there is a message in the little strip in the bottom left that says "read adpage2.googlesyndication" or "transferring data from googleads.g.doubleclick.net".

Based on a similar problem on another board I use a lot, it's Google that's holding things up.

Stevem · « **Reply #26 on:** March 18, 2009, 08:01:44 PM »

Slow all day. No, even moments, of brilliance.

google loads fine then paaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaause

DaveK · « **Reply #27 on:** March 19, 2009, 12:46:04 AM »

I'm seeing the same thing Murf is seeing. I tried to get on earlier today and gave up and thought I would give it a try before going to bed. Still slooow for some reason

joasis · « **Reply #28 on:** March 19, 2009, 04:53:08 PM »

Kirk is on the road and will work on this over the weekend. I would fix it, but I am not a techy guy.

I noticed it is a lot faster today, so I am guessing it is a server issue.

DaveK · « **Reply #29 on:** March 19, 2009, 05:31:55 PM »

Everything is much faster now.

joasis · « **Reply #30 on:** March 20, 2009, 06:21:24 AM »

Don't know about everyone else now, but the page load is fast. I am on DSL, and it loads as fast as every thing else.

Kirk Allen · « **Reply #31 on:** March 20, 2009, 08:43:18 AM »

Keep you fingers crossed

DaveK · « **Reply #32 on:** March 20, 2009, 05:36:23 PM »

Still working well today. So where did you learn the trick of crossing your fingers to make the forum run faster

Considering how many problems we have with email at work, I might tell our IT support to cross their fingers and see if it helps.

Kirk Allen · « **Reply #33 on:** March 20, 2009, 07:10:17 PM »

Ancient Chineese Secret

So far it seems good to go. Sad part, I have done nothing..................other than cross my fingers

I suspect the server found the problem and fixed it!

Stephen Wiley · « **Reply #34 on:** March 21, 2009, 11:13:26 PM »

Next he'll be sitting on them while crossed

joasis · « **Reply #35 on:** March 31, 2009, 05:35:58 AM »

Really, really slow again. Has to be the server. 25 seconds a page load for me.

mike p · « **Reply #36 on:** March 31, 2009, 06:27:39 AM »

we now haVE SATALITE INTERNET ops and it almost a min to open a page today the other forms arent like that

Frank Pender - AKA "Tail Gunner" · « **Reply #37 on:** March 31, 2009, 09:35:31 AM »

Geeeeeeeeee, my opening time seems almost istant, at this moment, in time.

I spoke toooooooooooo sooooooooon, I guess. That took almost 40 seconds for this page to return.

55 seconds the second time.

Carl Middleton · « **Reply #38 on:** March 31, 2009, 02:33:28 PM »

I tried 4 times today and finely it loaded after 20 mins

Kirk Allen · « **Reply #39 on:** March 31, 2009, 06:02:43 PM »

I pulled the banners and the adds to see if it made a difference and Its still slow. I am waiting to hear back from the server to isolate the problem. At least I know its not our banners causing it because with and without them its the same.

Kirk Allen · « **Reply #40 on:** March 31, 2009, 08:42:37 PM »

OK, we think we found the problem but still waiting for the fix. Thanks for the patience!

Kirk Allen · « **Reply #41 on:** March 31, 2009, 09:46:10 PM »

Got the slow page loading but for some strange reason our logo has vanished. Minor problem that I will work on fixing.

All should be loading super fast again! I hope

Carl Middleton · « **Reply #42 on:** April 01, 2009, 04:09:11 AM »

got on at 5 am east time and BAM 2 seconds loaded

joasis · « **Reply #43 on:** April 01, 2009, 04:10:15 AM »

1 second page loads here again.

Kirk Allen · « **Reply #44 on:** April 01, 2009, 08:12:46 AM »

I am hoping we have the fix!

Stephen Wiley · « **Reply #45 on:** April 01, 2009, 09:16:40 AM »

Well...............so far it is working the best it has in over a month

Stevem · « **Reply #46 on:** April 01, 2009, 10:47:07 AM »

Kirk Allen · « **Reply #47 on:** April 01, 2009, 01:18:31 PM »

Aren't computers fun

Kirk Allen · « **Reply #48 on:** April 01, 2009, 09:46:17 PM »

So is it a concensas that were running faster? Im on dial up and I see a huge improvement so I am assuming those lucky enough to have high speed internet as seeing a huge improvement?

Stevem · « **Reply #49 on:** April 02, 2009, 12:15:11 AM »

Looking good to me. Lots faster than before.
