Location: Nova Scotia, Canada | Is it me or has this site been chronically slow lately?
I have to fire up a second browser to visit my other sites while I wait for pages to load...and this is most of the time, not just occasionally. It reminds me of the old dial-up days.

Location: Phoenix AZ | Seems to be a chronic problem. For me about 30% of the time the site is not usable so I go do something else. Maybe that's actually a good thing. Dave |

Location: The Great Pacific Northwest | I think some other site on the same server is bogging things down. I was told they are working on it. I have the same thing. Sometimes I get a timeout, then just click refresh... and poof it's right there. |

Location: Houston, Texas | Wasn't the hosting service changed within the past year or so? It seems I recall going through all this before, changing services and then after that going through a bbs software upgrade. I know we went without the photo gallery for a long time.
The slowness seems to be identical to what we went through with the old service.
Is my memory faulty? (I actually wouldn't doubt it, now what was I saying?)

Location: Hicksville, NY | It's a good thing to know that I'm not alone ... I thought there was something wrong about my DSL line, that I almost called the phone company to &%*#$@ about it.
When I'm caught in a very nasty lag, I end up opening another window, to get pre-occupied with something else ... |

Location: Oregon | Yeah, sometimes this site takes a couple minutes to load for me. I open up another window to go to other stuff while I wait. Which deosn't help it go faster but I get impatient. |

That applied to me years ago when a truck drove on me and when i recovered from disease, but what didn't kill me at that time made me learn to respect others too. I don't want to hurt anybody here, so i shall modify my profile in order to be more neutral. Sorry... ;) |

I put you in charge of developing this site.
what is the URL?
why can't I get there now?
when will it be running?
why are you so slow in making it happen? |

Location: SoCal | Al, You have my number. When you are ready, just call and I will get you set up.
I posted on a previous thread offering my services to identify the causes of the performance issues and take it up with your hosting company. Web hosting is a service oriented market and far from rocket science. The hosting companies not providing adequate service levels loose business to the other companies.
You have a site problem? Don't take it out on me... I have offered to help fix it. |
