site running slow?

[tunnel topper]

is anyone else having trouble with this site?
it is taking about 2 minutes to move from one page to another.

other web sites are not affected.

[TF_squatt]

Other sites fine for me. This one is really sloooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooow.

[TF_BAG UPParticipant]

Yep, bloody nightmare ~sick ~sick

taking so long to jump from thread to thread ~think

[TF_geepsterParticipant]

Yeah quite slow for me too – will look into it.

[TF_feeder]

good lad geeps.

[TF_cheffieVRSParticipant]

Having real problems with it also with safari!!!!

[riddler]

im on safari…… its very slow here too at the moment …only seen one lion and a bloody water hog!!!

[TF_Mikey .J.]

Extremely slow, never had this before. Each page is taking a good couple on minutes to load, but on other sites its instant, so definitely something wrong with this site!

[TF_geepsterParticipant]

I’m pretty sure I need to trim the database, however it’s timing out and failing every time I try, so I’m getting the web man onto it.

have a good weekend everyone.

[tunnel topper]

not quite up to full speed but faster on microsoft explorer than safari ~think ~think

[TF_feeder]

faster now than it was.

[TF_geepsterParticipant]

It’s fast this end now. ~think ~think ~think

[TF_Mikey .J.]

Still extremely slow. Every other website super fast….this one SLOW SLOW SLOW. Definately not fixed!

[TF_Kevin W]

Almost as fast as a speeding bullet for me.~clap

[TF_geepsterParticipant]

very strange. Very fast for me.

[tunnel topper]

still running very slow on safari but now i’m on microsoft explorer it is ok.

on safari everything is running at normal speed except total-fishing and bottledbeer.co.uk

thats 2 out of my 3 most popular sites ~sick

[TF_cheffieVRSParticipant]

yes i am also still struggling with safari, but firefox is a little quicker

[TF_geepsterParticipant]

I’ll get it re-booted to see if that helps…

[TF_geepsterParticipant]

Re-booted. A bit quicker this end although not perfect. What about everyone else?

[TF_Mikey .J.]

Still extremely slow on safari. On firefox its faster. But i usually use safari and its terribly slow for this site still. 2 mins for each page to load.

Am on Explorer tonight and getting around same speeds as you, have given up trying to use Safari for this site for now.~think

[TF_justin case]

for me It takes a bout 2 seconds to load a page the site did however drop off the scale completly earlier on though

Teabag your problem maybe temp internet files and cookie related sound s to me like your browsers are overloaded

[TF_teabag]

Justin, the site just really slow for me with Safari, have deleted all the temp and cookies and it is still the same, only this site has the problem.

This site takes 3 seconds or more to load a page with Explorer, 99% of all other sites with Safari and Explorer are instant with my cabeled 50meg connection.

If this is still a problem for people can you cut and paste the:

Bit showing on the bottom of the forum in this thread and Pm it to me? As you can see for me it’s pretty fast, but if it isn’t for you then the times could give some indication of what’s wrong.

Thanks.

[TF_Hillbilly]

Was VERY slow last night but seems ok now.

[TF_geepsterParticipant]

It’s fast at the moment but could be down to lack of volume at 6.15am. I have spoken to the hosters who have told me that the site’s SQL database is causing problems and slowing down other sites too, and that I have to act urgently, which I am.

thanks geeps. apperciate all the work you do.

[TF_geepsterParticipant]

It’s worse than ever for me now.
The hosters had lodged a complaint (and ultimatum) with us saying that our database was causing a problem for other sites on the shared server.
We have trimmed the database and it’s not really helped and it’s now my opinion that another site is causing the problems. We have now lodged a complaint with the hosters and are waiting on their response.

Changing servers?? WHY????

Every other forum and site works fine, why is this one playing up??

There will be a certain percentage of forum users that dont know what changing a server means…..

& an even greater number of T.F users wont even get to this thread though shear boredom, it has taken me 12 minutes since clicking “Total Fishing” in my favorites bar to being able to post this reply…..

most users will just turn off and hope it sorts itself out!!!! (6 days now and still it still takes 2 minutes to open each thread!!)

~think ~think ~think

[TF_geepsterParticipant]

Simon, take your frustration and times it by 500 and you are not even close to how i feel about it. Neither the hosters nor the web developer can tell me why it was fine for six months, and then went wrong last Friday. They suggested changing servers (which took the site down for a day) and the site was fine for three days, and then this morning at 9am it’s gone west again. I am trying to find out if the site is under a hacking attack and if so where from. If you don’t think I’m trying to sort this out you are wrong. So far it’s already cost several hundred quid. It’s like lightening at the moment, but has been impossible fo the last four hours. I am neither a web developer nor a hoster and I can’t explain why. I do know that it’s the forum that’s causing the problem as the rest of the site has been running okay (albeit a bit slows) through this morning.

[TF_D.W.]

Just had a look at the site information, and the site is on a dedicated server now so any slow down will not be caused by other sites. If it is loading fast for some people but not others, then it could be an ISP DNS Server or routing issues for those that are experiencing slow down still. If it was the server or site itself, then it would be the same speed for everyone.

[TF_geepsterParticipant]

Moved it to a dedicated server today.
Gave up with Discount.asp.
Getting no help.
All money but I hope it ‘s better for everyone now.

[TF_teabag]

full speed for me now

What did you/do in terms of reducing the DB size? Do you have any insite into the indexes used within the DB?

What is interesting is when I turn my wifi off on my iPhone and use 3G or edge it loads pretty quickly?

I did instruct the dedicated server to block and piracy… and you are all descended from pirates down there after all…

Try Firefox. Like lightning.

Same here, Safari hangs for ages before page eventually loads, I’ve given up trying to use it for this site.

[TF_geepsterParticipant]

I’ll ask Owain to look into the Safari thing. It’s very fast on my Firefox and IE8.

DOWNLOAD FIREFOX

[TF_D.W.]

Just installed Safari & found that after clicking a link with the mouse pointer it takes forever to load the page (if at all). If you click in the address bar after clicking the link and press Enter, it loads the page instantly. All the other browsers I have tried (IE, Opera, Firefox & Chrome) all load the page straight away in milliseconds – much, much quicker than Safari does (getting load times for 10 queries of 0.342 seconds compared to 0.214 seconds in Chrome).

[TF_Lee Wood]

safari on my Macs works fine, however I use Chrome as standard nowadays, having recently moved from Firefox… for now… :o)
Windows Safari is not the best version of it, it suffers from Apples bad Windows programming…
iTunes is the same…

[TF_geepsterParticipant]

Well I think that while we’ve not established why safari doesn’t work properly, we have established one thing.
DON’T USE SAFARI!!!!

[TF_rocketFeeder]

Safari is a bag of spanners on Windows, you’ll not get much faster than Firefox TBH.

[TF_Lee Wood]

@Geepster (moderator) wrote:

At least not on Windows… ~naughty

Firefox is the best browser on WIndows, thats for sure…
Chrome in a close second…

[TF_Serious Sam]

Geepster – not sure if you’re also currently having general problems but I’m 99% sure what’s causing pages to hang for minutes at a time.

It’s one or more of the ads that you’re pulling into the page, they’re causing the browser on the local machine to hit 100% cpu and site there for minutes, if it ever clears at all.

Seen this before with video / flash ads that aren’t written very well.

Presume the ads are random in the page (?) if so that’s why people can be using it fine then suddenyl have it hang for minutes when it hits one of those ads.

Safari is a bag of spanners on Windows, you’ll not get much faster than Firefox TBH.

Both Opera and Chrome render pages much faster than Firefox. Unfortunately Firefox has become slower as it ages. For pure speed, Opera 10 takes some beating.
