ASF Site Performance

[chops_a_must]

Hi Joe,

Wanted to know if anyone else is having problems today. ASF is running real slow (pages taking ages to load or timing out with the "cannot display webpage" message).

All other sites are working fine, only ASF I'm having problems with.

Cheers
Warren

Same.

Is anyone else finding ASF a bit slow today?

I've had a few problems with threads not wanting to open lately but it seems OK now.

It has been unavailable several times today, also, until this last log in, it was refreshing three times before it would stop so I could see the forum. It did that a few months ago and had been fixed until I think, maybe a few days ago it started again.

I've had no problems with slowness or cutting out. Thank you Joe for asking.

Site generally slow in the last week or ten days, especially noticed the home page loading then disappearing, returning, disappearing two or three times before staying put. (apologies for the non-technical language).
Screens very slow to change.

 

[chops_a_must]

It's getting very annoying having to click, "try again" all the time.

 

[Prospector]

All good now, and the home page doesn't keep automatically refreshing anymore (that's the technical term for it Julia

 

[MS+Tradesim]

Just wanted to add I too had loading/slowness issues on Thurs, Fri but noticed improvement on Sat and back to normal today (Sun). No idea what that means but may be useful for you Joe.

 

[Joe Blow]

Thanks for the feedback everyone!

It looks like it might have just been a temporary issue.

If you encounter any slowness in the future feel free to bump this thread and let me know!

Not sure why this happens Joe but sometimes when im loading a page it times out, then i refresh it and loads in a flash. Happens alot

cable my friend which can be quicker than ADSL2 at times

It could be your connection rather than the ASF site.

Hi Joe; site seems sluggish this evening, with response times >15 secs (intermittent)
atdmt.com seems to be causing the problem (whatever that is, but it displays waiting for atdmt.com when it's hanging)

Joe, I have the same comment, but more in the mornings than the evenings.
It seems to be associated with the advertising on the Home Page. There is always a conspicuous delay in returning to the Home Page full screen, as distinct from going to Forum Jump and omitting the Home page.
I suppose this is essentially what is intended, i.e. that members focus on the advertising before being able to access the forum content.

Have discussed this issue with the host and they have done some optimising.

Can those who were exeriencing some sluggishness let me know if they have noticed any improvement in site performance?

Thanks!
