Speed

[az1103]

Is it just me or is the site running much slower on the new server?

[Freebird]

I HOPE it's just you. Seems very quick here. I would like to hear from any others having a problem though.

I was fine to me when he started the thread. Now (speed is fine) but the sidebar disappeared and the ad banner up top is gone. I just clicked the New Posts link.

[GigaWhiskey]

Back now.

Yea, I turned off the Portal for a minute to test a couple of things. Sorry about that. I should have warned everybody.

[Freebird]

I just made another change. Upgraded from PHP 4 something to PHP 5.25. Don't think it will make much if any difference but we can try it.

[Freebird]

That didn't last long. Pages stopped loading after I changed to PHP 5.25. Had to go back.

[BuddyRich]

Its been faster since you moved it. I have checked it from TX, CA an NV.

touringhog.com was slow as christmas yesterday

It deffinitely appears slower than usual here. I tried several different sites - all seem pretty normal. I seem to be experiencing slow page reload.

Well I'm in a hotel in Bradford, PA right now and have a wireless connection that isn't that good. I just timed it though by clicking on several links and etc. and they all open is less than 2 second. Not sure what is happening there.

I was going to say something yesterday. When I click on a thread, it can take up to a half a minute or more to load. Sometimes I just give up and go away for a while. This happens at home and at work.

Just now after I clicked on this thread, it took 20 sec to load.

Just to add, other sites seem fine.

What hesaid!!! Exactly what's happening here !!!

[Dano]

Is it possible that our browsers cache is full (on our own pc's) and we need to "clean it", Don? I experience the same thing when I'm going to post in a thread or waiting for the 2nd page, etc. to open.

By the way, saw you got up same time as me this am- 6:45..... You keep late nights and early morns like me.

 

Thanks,

 

Dan

 

PS met an RSTD rider at a local shop today, has 50,000 on his '03--- heading out to NM in a month, told him about the site and our stuff going on here. One more closer to 5000! Sounds like Lowell's son!

[GigaWhiskey]

It would not hurt to clear cache and cookies. I noticed issues with a theme and also noticed what y'all are speaking of. Once I did that, all is good. Can't say it is all related though.

[az1103]

First thing I did !! Made no difference whatsoever. Besides, that would affect all sites.... I am not having any other problems. Also I am on high speed DSL and not experiencing problems on any other sites. This tread took a good 15 seconds to open... Something's not kosher.

[GigaWhiskey]

Besides, that would affect all sites.... I am not having any other problems.

 

Not if it is a corrupted cookie, coold effect one site as it did with my issue related to the theme. I also said that I can't say that it is related. I tmay have been a coincidence that both were resolved at the same time.

[eagleeye]

I have the same issue with a computer with high speed DSL and a different computer with cable high speed.

 

Not the same corrupt cookie, but the same corrupt user.

Sometime after the switch.

Yea, I am not a geek and don't do this for a living. Walmart is good to me, specially the cosmetic section!

Hey AZ, I see yer from HB. Man, I have not seen that place in years!!! I lived in Midway City and went to two High Schools in HB.

[az1103]

Weather is great here, beach is close....Can't beat Highway 1 for riding-as far as you want, Calif. Oregon, Washington practicaly to Canada.... Last time I was in Houston had to walk at 45 degrees and carry an anchor - the wind was incredible, and that was downtown.

[Freebird]

I disable some ads at the bottom of the screen. Let me know if that helped any.

[eagleeye]

Thanks Don, It went from 20-30 seconds to load a page to a milisecond.

I'll post again from W tomorrow.

Steve

[Freebird]

I don't really understand what it going on. I have the ads back on now. It made no difference at all on my end. I find that all threads, posts, etc. open very quickly. The only time that it seems a little slow is if I am actually in a thread and hit the browsers refresh button. I would seldom have a reason to do that though.

[Freebird]

It deffinitely appears slower than usual here. I tried several different sites - all seem pretty normal. I seem to be experiencing slow page reload.

 

You say slow reload. Does that mean reload when you hit "refresh" on your browser? There are a lot of scripts that run here when you do that. Why would you need to? Just curious.
