Has anyone else noticed that the site is loading very slowly for the past couple weeks or so?

Posted by Jonathan Trevithick (Member # 3066) on March 26, 2013, 04:06 PM:

Yes Michael. In fact, this morning it has been very slow and crashed when I sent a PM. I just assumed it was my internet speed.

I have been having problems for 2 weeks. The pages don't load when you go to different forums or try to respond to PM's [Frown]

Yep, today is particualrly slow...

Well, I'm glad to hear it's not just me. So what gives?

I have been switching off and rebooting, finally thinking It was a new "mouse" that was needed.

Strange: seems perfectly normal here, on three different computers and many different internet connections as well.

Had no problem of slowness,until today!

Maybe this is the problem:

Global internet slows after 'biggest attack in history'

Posted by Steve Klare (Member # 12) on March 27, 2013, 01:33 PM:

NOW it's slowing down!

Nah. Every other site is fine on my PC except this one.

No problems at all here. I use both IE and Mozilla Firefox. Could it be because my internet connection is through my cable TV company?

Reaction time after click a link is very slow for me today.

I haven't noticed any speed problems with this site, however I'll mention it to Brad.

The speed is better now.

Hi, From my experience, the speed seems to vary depending on the time of day. Seems slower here in the u.k. in the afternoons and evenings. From what I understand from the experts, and i have mentioned this before on another topic, the more people are using the internet at the same time the slower it will get, particularly as more and more "gadgets" include internet access. An analogy here in the u.k are the motorways. The M25 here (the ring road around London) is known as a 70mph traffic jam! Extra lanes are added and the fill up within weeks of being opened.

this morning the site was not accessible at all but now its fine.

Lets be honest Ken,if they covered our country in concrete,it still
wouldn't be enough, and as for the "experts" in Government, they
would struggle to empty a boot full of pee if the instructions were
on the heel.

Hugh I take it your saying they couldn't organise a p**s in in a brewery. The safety lane is to become a normal part of the motorway. The forum was slow a few days ago though. I intend to stand as MP I did organise one [Big Grin]

and it was good. I will also have a surcharge on dvd & bluray plus no VAT on films
