ASF Site Performance

[ThingyMajiggy]

All is OK today, as I've already said. If it was my OS, Ff updates or anything like that, presumably I'd be having difficulty with other sites as well.

Seriously? Trying to help and you give zero information in reply. Don't ask then if you're the expert and know how everything will react.

Enjoy the problems.

????? I asked when I had a problem.
I subsequently reported there was no ongoing problem.

But thank you indeed for the wish to 'enjoy problems'. Very grown up of you.

I use Firefox. I have had absolutely no problem with any other site.
ASF is OK today.

Good to hear, Julia;
that would support my suggestion that some ASF data arrived, or became, corrupted on your PC only. You had probably switched your computer off and restarted it, before you found everything AOK again.

Unless you tell Firefox otherwise, any temporary data are cleared out when you switch off.
Next time something similar happens, try deleting downloaded history; in most cases, that alone will do the trick, and you only have to close and re-open the Browser, rather than rebooting the PC.

Thank you, pixel.

Is anyone else currently experiencing sluggish site performance, especially when posting or sending a PM?

 

[Bronte]

Yes Joe, we had lots of trouble posting earlier on the 'Trading The SPI (Open)' thread.
I think it is a problem with our internet connection....nothing for you to worry about :1zhelp:

I did earlier, but now it seems to be back to normal.

Yes, Joe, I did this morning. Took about a whole minute to empty PM Inbox. All seems OK now.

 

[Joe Blow]

Thanks for the feedback.

I'm not sure if it's ASF or my internet connection, or both. I contacted the host and they couldn't see any problems, but some techs are better than others so you can never be sure.

I'm still experiencing intermittent issues, but hopefully whatever the problem is will resolve itself soon.

I am having to wait for up to a minute after clicking the post/send button for a post before it gets posted - always says 'waiting for ASF'. Tried 2 computers and same result, very slow posting.

Edit-this post went through straight away? Could be thread specific - 'Gold where is it heading?' is very slow??? Thread is very big now?

Hi UF, the length of the thread shouldn't be a concern. What you experienced may have been a temporary server problem, or perhaps even an ISP issue at your end.

Speed seems OK for me at the moment. Please let me know if you continue to experience any website sluggishness or any other performance related issues. If it persists I'll dig deeper to see if I can figure out what's causing it.

I've had the same thing intermittently over a few weeks. Not confined to any particular thread.
Not happening on any other site for me.

Lately I have been having issues with ASF pages loading very slowly. This afternoon I came online and clicked "new posts" and then I click for the last post of the thread I was interested in. It hung for a long period of time, 15 seconds or more, so I refreshed it and eventually it loaded in about 10 seconds. My connection is Super Fast Telstra ADSL and I am connected at 21 MBPS and all other sites like ABC Online and Westpac Online Investing which is my broker all loaded in less than a second at the same time. I did it as a test, ASF was hanging so I tested with other websites and they were fine.

This is getting more and more common these days, has anything changed lately?

I had the same issue today. It took forever to load and a lot of times I just close out of frustration after waiting so long. I deleted downloaded history and all that then returned and tried again to find the same problem.

All other sites I visited loaded straight away, so no problems with other sites.

I came back later and it seems to be behaving alright at the moment, loading fairly quickly. Let's hope it stays that way!

 

[Joe Blow]

Nothing has changed recently. I have contacted the host and their technicians are now checking the server to see if there any obvious issues.

I apologise for any inconvenience caused.

+1 for me, although I don't have any" Super Fast" connection afaik. I've previously reported this and have more or less become resigned to long waits between page loading. Any attempt to 'hurry it up' results in the notice "this site requires that you wait 10 seconds between searches".

It's not impossible to cope with, but somewhat frustrating, and - as others have reported - doesn't happen on any other site where a mouse click brings instant screen change.

Probably a complication in diagnosis is that it happens - at least for me - about 70% of the time. First thing in the morning it's usually less of a problem.

Hi Joe,

I've had a few problems with opening threads and/or posting over the last week or so. Mostly with those threads where a chart or other form of attachment is added.

Cheers

The host reports that the server is running fine, and there appear to be no obvious performance issues.

I'm wondering if it could be an ISP related issue. Could those experiencing slow page loading times please post what ISP they are using? Thanks!

Mine was yesterday afternoon maybe around 2.30 PM. Last night and right now it is working fine, it's only sometimes it plays up.

My provider is Telstra ADSL 2+

Connection: Bandwidth (Up/Down) [kbps/kbps]: 1,013 / 21,666

Mine is Telstra ADSL 2+

What are you saying Joe, maybe Telstra is targeting ASF and no one else's website?
