This site has become very slow!

haha · 03-15-2007, 09:41 AM

The last few days I have noticed that it takes ten seconds or more for a page to open. This is just too long. Any idea what is happening?

I don't notice these delays anywhere other than here.

Same here. I wonder if it is traffic load from other "sites" hosted on the same server. Sometimes I sit down here, and it's not worth bothering with, so I leave.

Hunh, same here.

I thought Hawaii was having cable problems again. Apparently it's not just me.

No, it's universal. At least one error message from firefox said that it was having trouble accessing the database (it found the site just fine).

Bunch of slow problems, getting response errors when posting and having to re-post, and several times where the response got so slow I had to go outside and do actual work instead...

Outtahere · 03-15-2007, 11:39 AM

Same here, sometimes takes a minute to get from page to page.

TromboneAl · 03-15-2007, 11:58 AM

Ditto -- I'll test with this post...

...moderately slow today -- 10 seconds to post this (should be about 2 seconds). Recently I've had some that seem like a minute or so.

Considering the avatars, perhaps we've made things a little too top-heavy.

We are on the road and I briefly checked in yesterday. The site was so slow I didn't hang around--I thought it was my cell phone connection. Today it is speedy. I'll send Andy a message.

Alex · 03-15-2007, 09:50 PM

I haven't had any problems. Of course I have an easy button

Khan · 03-15-2007, 10:00 PM

I haven't noticed any problems.

I also noticed that it is back to normal today.

It got WORSE today. I've experienced numerous time out this morning. About 10 minutes ago, I could not even connect to it.

haha · 03-16-2007, 03:55 PM

Same here. Really slow earlier.

But I just returned from lunch and it seems ok.

Damned, this morning it's like being on dial-up...

cute fuzzy bunny · 03-19-2007, 08:33 AM

Agreed. Slower than molasses running uphill on a cold monday morning...

Outtahere · 03-19-2007, 08:53 AM

Pretty bad here too and I'm on a T1 at work.

Khan · 03-19-2007, 09:27 AM

Quite slow this morning.

cute fuzzy bunny · 03-19-2007, 09:39 AM

Absolutely crawling. I'm getting a quarter of a page at a time with 10 second to 2 minute delays between chunks. Almost unusable.

bruce1 · 03-19-2007, 10:14 AM

I am on dial up this morning and the site is slower than my connection.
