Software Upgrade(?) - Electronic Circuits Projects Diagrams Free

Papabravo · 21st May 2008, 09:38 PM

Is it just me or are other people waiting 30-60 seconds for page loads on their broadband connections. It sure seems like it is spending a lot of time thinking.

On this site? Seems pretty fast to me...

mneary · 21st May 2008, 11:13 PM

Drat! I didn't think this site was slow, but I know what you mean now! Some things are fast, but a lot of things are painfully slow.

In the last few days it takes many seconds after clicking on a forum or topic before it loads.
Sometimes it waits a long time to finish posting a reply.

HarveyH42 · 22nd May 2008, 12:55 AM

I'm on dial-up 56k, and not seeing these delays. The first couple of days after the upgrade were a little slow, but not that bad.

audioguru · 22nd May 2008, 01:49 AM

"Web site found, waiting for reply". And waiting and waiting and waiting.

I get dizzy watching the "activity" thing in internet Exolorer going around and around and around and around around and around ...

Has things picked up? The server has been sending out a newsletter which has slowed it down for a short while.

It should have now started to speed back up so would be interested in fixing the slowness if its still around.

audioguru · 22nd May 2008, 02:33 AM

I have been getting e-mails of replies to posts today that are about 4 hours late.

**ElectroMaster** · 22nd May 2008, 03:02 AM

that would be due to the newsletter creating the backlog. should be clear now.

mneary · 22nd May 2008, 04:49 AM

So, that newsletter from "electro.tech.online.com@gmail.com" is authentic? Any insight as to why the From: address is gmail? It went straight to my spam bin, lucky I noticed it.

hi pb,
My access to the forum site has slowed right down again,also takes ages after hitting the 'submit' button when posting.

Checked other common web sites, working as normal.

shaneshane1 · 22nd May 2008, 09:35 AM

It has been really slow for me on this site since the site upgrade!

audioguru · 22nd May 2008, 03:03 PM

Just now I tried getting in 4 times. Each time I waited 15 seconds and saw "Website found. Waiting for reply". I gave up after 15 seconds. The 4th time took about 6 seconds for the page to load.

Before it loaded instantly.

Papabravo · 22nd May 2008, 05:32 PM

Page loads are at 8-12 seconds today. Better, but it still seems like things used to be faster. Comcast (a cable company) has also been managing traffic with connection resets and I had one of those yesterday. I'm deeply suspicious of them and would like to know if there are tools that would expose the source of the slowdown.

Alrighty! I've been tinkering again ;-)

I have shifted all 17,000 attachments that you members

have uploaded which has taken some load of the database (used to be 1.7 GB in size, now 500MB).

As well as that I believe that the Google Analytics code was also playing a part in slowing down the forum so that has been removed!

Will await your feedback..
