Website Performance

    Am I the only one plagued by horrible performance on this website today?

    I have been pretty forgiving since the upgrade because there are always bugs to be worked out, but I have had a few instances in which my browser has timed out waiting for the site to return today. I have also had it return nothing but the header banner a number of times.

    I can see an advertisement from keynote.com on the left hand side for web server performance testing...

    I am almost frustrated enough today to abandon these forums. I know one person will not bring you to a screeching halt, but perhaps a few people replying to this will get someone moving on it. It is pretty bad lately.

    Michael,

    Sorry you are experiencing issues. Is it just in the forums or is it elsewhere?

    Seems to be working ok for me. Haven't noticed bad performance from my wandering around today.

    Also, where are you located and what type of connection (speed/provider) do you have?

    Yesterday, when I was posting this thread, it timed out on me several times. Today, it seems ok.

    I am on a corporate network with dual T1 connections. I did spend the time to look at my connection and try a few other sites. Hotmail was working fine, Google, and the Onion (www.theonion.com if you have never looked at it).

    I am in Connecticut.

    The biggest thing I have noticed since the new site is that the banner at the top of the page is about the only thing that wants to cache. Regularly, I get a delay when trying to get to this page to post.

    I usually am using IE7. When I was running into issues yesterday, I tried Firefox (because I already had it installed) and was not getting any better performance.

    I'll post to this thread again if it gets slow on me today.

    Thanks and I'll pass this along. Glad it's working today.

    The stats look ok from yesterday, so it appears things were working normally, but you never know. Firefox shouldn't be the issue, but you never know.

    I do want to say that the new site is very nice and everything works well. It has just been a bit slow - frustratingly so yesterday.
