ASF Site Performance

[Joe Blow]

Ever since the update every page takes about 15 seconds to load.

Same on Chrome and IE8

This is concerning and I would like to hear from anyone else who is experiencing increased page loading times since the software upgrade. I'm actually finding that they load a little quicker due to the improved code.

No probs for me.

What browser Timmy ? Could be the browser - clicking on the link in the email to a post isnt a problem, submitting a new post and clicking on the link in my toolbar to get to the site is very cslow, sometimes 30 seconds, it may fix itself, if it's not a problem to others.

Mr Burns, I've had the same problem three or four times over several years. Have never worked out what caused it. It was intermittent and usually lasted a few days, then resolved itself.
I did have a suspicion that it was to do with IE and now always use Firefox. That may not have been the reason though.

Joe, no problem at all since the upgrade, better if anything, thank you.

 

[Logique]

I'm using IE8, no problems with ASF.

Couldn't open any threads at all Friday, Saturday using IE7 on my laptop. Upgraded to IE8 this morning and running fine. Sometimes I used to experience slowdowns when my "temporary Internet Files" were too many. A standard "delete cookies and temporary files" clean out restored the functionality.

What browser Timmy ?

Sorry delay Mr. B.

Firefox 13.0.1

 

[MrBurns]

Nothing works for me

MrBurns, have you tried accessing ASF from another PC or another internet connection? I'm trying to figure out if this is just an isolated issue or whether it's more widespread.

 

[Boggo]

Firefox + Widows 7 on desktop, Firefox + Windows XP Pro on laptop, Tapatalk, Safari and Apollo browsers on iPad and no sign of any issues with any of them

I use a lap top and a desktop same problem with both, it must be my connection Telstra Broadband Extreme, it will fix itself in time I guess.
I'll ask some friends to have a look.

Actually sometimes it's ok but mostly it hangs, probably the connection.

Re: Level of participation in stock threads

The real problem is that lower rates of participation result in less discussion. Those who are posting in stock threads get discouraged because they often feel like they are talking to themselves. If those who do post regularly in stock threads get discouraged enough, their level of participation will also decline, reducing the amount of stock discussion even further.

Of course, the opposite is also true. Increased rates of participation result in more discussion and an increase in the amount of active stock threads. I understand that many may feel as though they don't have anything of value to contribute. I would ask those who feel that way to consider the words of springhill in an earlier post in this thread:



Questions let those posting in stock threads know that their posts are being read and appreciated. Questions also generate further discussion and result in more detailed analysis and an increase in the information flow.

My problem temporarily I hope id that it took almost 30 seconds for this page to load, by the time I post and answer and wait for that to load, well you see what I mean.

I'll post this and time how long it takes and report it in the next post.

30 seconds.

Re: Level of participation in stock threads

30 seconds.

What computer/browser are you using MB? It just took me ... sec to type and post this line.

EDIT - 17 seconds, once the new post had loaded. Really 30 seconds isn't much time out of ones day if they have a question to ask. Most people dont seem to have any issues with load time, although i'm sure Joe could elaborate further

Been through this before, I think it's my connection , not sure.

I always have problems with Word Press sites but ASF isn't one I presume ?

30 seconds is a big lag on the net, it's not the end of the world just a disincentive to move around in here much.

I fully expect it to improve before long, bugs have a way of working themselves out sometimes.

I will move these last few posts to ASF Site Performance thread:

Mr. B - 30 seconds, yeah that's not right. Takes around 2-4 seconds for a page to load for me.
Stupid question from me - have you rebooted your modem? Leave it off for 5 mins or so.
If possible can you try another modem?

30 seconds for a page to load is ridiculously long, you are right to chase this up.

Other sites are ok I suspect my browser or connection doesnt like some sites because of their coding, thats the only thing I can think of, I'll let you now if it straightens out, sometimes it's ok but rarely.

I use different browsers for some sites, but I understand you have tried this already?

Yes I have.

Now the link from the email notification to here was fine so who knows.
