Why is this site so slow now?

The pages take forever to load, and that wasn't true not so long ago. Why is this? And can they fix it?

Re: Why is this site so slow now?

I noticed some slowness earlier too. It was taking a while for the icons on the page to load.

No problems now.

Re: Why is this site so slow now?

I would think things should be a little faster now dvdmusicalfan, since you've registered. Perhaps I'm wrong, but don't you have a lot of ads on the page when you're just visiting the site (and not logged in)...that would slow things down I would think.

Seems ok to me, but I'm heavily medicated.

I saw the thread title and said to myself, "He must be new here".

This has been an intermittent problem for YEARS.

I've got some stuff in the pipe that should increase the site's delivery of static content..... Just so you know...

Yeah. It is. If it's not something that fixes itself (routing issue, etc - I'm going to assume that it won't get noticed until noon EST when the PST IB people wakey wakey.

That's the most unintentional joke you have said on the forum!

I guess I shouldn't have flipped that switch. I thought it was for the light in the bathroom.

Re: Why is this site so slow now?

It's 8:11am on the East Coast. Ping times are pretty slow to the site from where I am. 122ms avg. Just for reference, yahoo.com pings back at about 54ms. FYI. And yes, it does seem a bit slow this morning.
