Response time?
« on: August 12, 2011, 04:22:03 PM »
Are the boards being extra-pokey for anyone but me?

I've tried from multiple computers on different connections/providers, and things just seem considerably slower responding for about the last couple of weeks or so.

A little bit.  Sometimes.  It's when I first try to get to the site.  It used to be near instant, but lately it's been taking a few seconds to load.

Yes, but I've been using some rather pokey internet connections lately so mine could be due to that.

Hmmm... If I hit "reply" it takes anywhere from 10 to 30+ seconds for a new screen to load, from either home or work accounts.
Occasioanlly everything will be as  fast as everything else, then... non-responsive.

I've opened tabs and had great response times from other sites while still waiting here...

Oh well... I'm sure its probably something on my end, but it seems weird.

I've had that too.  I followed Priscellies note to go to google chrome and it helped, but the load time is still much slower than other sites.

Same thing here, I changed to google chrome and it helped but it is still slower. But I am also having weird internet connections here so it could be because of that ???

I haven't had any issues on my end.  I'm running Firefox 5.0.1 on OS X 10.6.8 and the average load time for most pages is about a second or two.  If that.

Depends for me, and not on the browser (between FF and IE at home, with Safari at work) and not on the connection (FiOS at home, ginormous connection at work), but seemingly on random times of the day. Most of the time, it's fine (1-2 seconds on the load), but at other times, it can be most of a minute. Fred said it sounded like the boards were getting pounded now and then, which would seem to be consistent with my experience.

I'm running Chrome, and I kind of get the same thing- sometimes, the loading seems kind of slower than usual.  My internet is good, and my computer is pretty fast, so I don't think it's an issue on my end.  Maybe the site's just getting more traffic because of GS's recent release, and it's loading up the server?

Pretty much what Fred was theorizing.

I'm still getting a lot of random slowdowns.  Most of the time everything is quite zippy, but sometimes a page will take ages to load, and I've gotten a number of connection/server error messages.  They apply across the board, no matter the browser I'm using, IE7 at work with a good connection, Firefox 6 or 7 at home with a faster connection, or on my phone.  Doesn't seem to be any rhyme or reason to the slowdown/nonoperable periods--that is, they happen randomly throughout the day and night, which, unless the server is malfunctioning, doesn't seem to imply that the server is being overloaded.

Who knows?

I will bow to the better judgement of Iago and the likes of Count Shecknara.   ;D

I've got random slowdowns too.  Never too bad, but there are times when it takes a second or two to load three pages and at other times it can take a minute or more for the same task.  I always use the same computer with Safari.

I agree, it seems random. Perhaps a little better with Chrome, but sometimes is really slow. And normally, is very good.

Apparently I spoke too soon.  The site was down for me for about 10 minutes just now, from approx. 10:09 - 10:19 PM PST / 1:09 - 1:19 EST.  (no trouble with other sites).

I've been having many more issues lately too.  Of course, that may be intentional :) but I'm having them nonetheless.
