lolder Report post Posted December 3, 2014 It appears there's a new format in the home page with more ads on the right which are graphics and thumbnails. A lot of the net is a little slow today for me. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

airbusguy Report post Posted December 3, 2014 The Energi site uses the same software and it is lightning fast by comparison. Maybe due to the sheer volume on this one. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
robertlane Report post Posted December 3, 2014 We cut out about 7 ads that were on the site last night that just added clutter and made the site slower. There can be slow traffic days and some can be geographic too, but PLEASE post on this topic if you find the site slow. 1 hybridbear reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

robertlane Report post Posted December 3, 2014 Robert, I use adblocker and the site is really slow. I's hate to see what it is without it. Maybe it's time to jump to a new server. It's slllooowww for me too. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
robertlane Report post Posted December 4, 2014 Seems to be back to good speeds today. I think for consistency though, we might have to move this to a different server. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mwr Report post Posted December 4, 2014 (edited) I'd say it's slow 90% of the time, including now (about 10 seconds to load a page). Now that I said that, I find that page loading is down to 2-3 seconds. Edited December 4, 2014 by mwr Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hybridbear Report post Posted December 5, 2014 It used to be fast, then it got slow for awhile, and today it seems much faster. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
robertlane Report post Posted December 5, 2014 Quite honestly, I believe that since we're on a shared server, speeds will always be inconsistent. The solution is move this site to a dedicated server. This gets annoying. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Easy Rider Report post Posted December 6, 2014 Or to one that is properly loaded.It is usually not a problem here.EVERY server has congestion problems at times......for a wide variety of reasons.Some expected and some not.One incident does not a trend make.

Easy Rider Report post Posted December 11, 2014 (edited) And 3 hours later, back up to normal speed again. Well kind of. Saving that post was rather slow. Edited December 11, 2014 by Easy Rider Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

robertlane Report post Posted December 15, 2014 Yeah, I'm done with the inconsistency. I will move this to a dedicated server within the next 48-hours. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
robertlane Report post Posted December 16, 2014 The move to a dedicated server was smooth and successful This will certainly speed things up :) 3 hybridbear, corncobs and GrySql reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
