Site speed -faster, slower, the same?

[Malloy]

Hey guys,

Please vote. I recently changed to a new host, and I wanted to see how things are working out.

Thanks!

[Speed Racer]

Feels slower to me bro....graphics etc are loading noticeably slower than before.

[Solo1Supra]

what he said...
sometimes is OK, other times it's SLOW

[MagSupra]

I have noticed that it's been a bit slower lately.

[turbogoo1]

can we have a new poll question added? like: is sometimes, but not always? cause i use a really slow computer i.e.=amd k-2 500 mmx with 256 megs of memory so i really dont have too much of a clue. so im kinda clueless. oh well

[dimwitrj]

Mosdef slower.

[Darrow]

sometimes slower.... the different colored supras on the main page always take forever to load. sometimes i will click on a link and it will pop up instantly some time it takes a while to find the site and then it will pop up quickly.

i'm using a cable modem

[MkIISuperSupra]

With dial up it is much slower. I had figured it was just my dial up but based on the other comments, maybe not.

[Malloy]

Thanks for the input so far.

We need some more votes here gang...

[Ross]

I hadn't noticed any change.

[davidmiz]

slower most of da time

[supramad77]

Yep it is slower. Even with broadband.

[Junkie]

Def. slower,I was thinking it was the PC,until I got on the laptop,and it's waaayyyyyy slower also.

[MWebber]

whiney complainer!! haha


it's a tad slower for me as well, sorta. seems like it pauses to load, but then loads after a second or two at normal speed.

As for Mike W. it feels like the site takes a break at every click (1-2sec),
then takes off normally.

[Supra Bob]

I am on a fiber optic connection, and even I can tell its slower....

[MagSupra]

It does that because we query all the information before it's assembed and displayed on the screen, can't display what we don't have.

[dannymk2]

somestimes its the same but most of the time its slower. i tried loading a page yesterday and it took forever. btw, im using a cable modem on a 2gig p4 processor with 384 megs of ram.

[CJSREDPRA]

Have noticed that it is slower. Even here @ work on a T1 line.

Have not tried the GF's PC yet on dial-up.

[ma615mgte]

slower an i also am on fiber optics

[KesekiSupra]

i think my g/f's honda is faster than this....almost...

[MagSupra]

I think the slower the connection the less you notice it.

On my dual 2.8ghz xeon with 2gb of ddr and 3mbps cable it seems to take forever, even compared to my forum, which is hosted on one of the most god awful servers.

[trdmkii]

Man i haven't noticed, however i've not been on the site a lot recently...I don't care...an extra second doesn't bother me...but what was wrong with the old host?

[Malloy]

Nice.

[Phil G.]

wtf Malloy.....sometimes it's slow as balls on here (i.e. slow as my 5MGE)....

Sorry for x-rated post but you asked :rolleyes:

[supramad77]

Yea what's up Mike. It's like taking 20 /30 seconds to load a page sometimes. I mean daaammmm I got broadband cos dial up sucks but it feels like I am back on dial up some times. No offence!

[Speed Racer]

Access speed to the server appears to be slowing, which tells me either the server has a load of traffic on it....the box itself is slow, or the bandwidth pipeline to the server is very narrow. I'm guessing it's the latter one, based on how the forum responds. It appears that the new host is not on a very fast connection.

I'm on Comcast cable and nothing has changed on my end...so it must be the host.

[ZZT231]

It seems to be a little bit slower from my end...

[cartman]

Yes, its definately slower. Sometimes takes 20 seconds just to load a page, or it wont load at all and I have to refresh the browser. I'm on ADSL.

[Racefiend]

I voted that I didn't see a change. But it does get slow sometimes. Most of the time I don't notice a difference, though.

[Tanya]

It's going REALLY slow for me today for some reason :(

[Malloy]

More votes please :) Ironically, it runs fine on my end. I wish I would known earlier...ugh.

[Nukes25]

its going faster for me the last few days

[ddd228]

Completly lost,as usual.

August 24: S L O W !

[dannymk2]

last week it ran fast as hell on my end. these past two days, it has reminded me how slow 56k was.

[CJSREDPRA]

Still slow & starting to get old (I'm on 56K dial-up). At least 3X when I'm here, when a page is trying to load (and no pictures) it pauses & takes awhile before it continues loading. Other times it won't load at all. Pressing reload or reset does not work, I have to back out (ie press the back arrow), then click on the page I want to go to again. 2nd time it will load properly w/o hanging up.

Previous host did not do this, was much faster.

[Speed Racer]

same here ... sometimes it's ok, others it's very very slow.

[trdmkii]

ditto, right now its fast, but when i was on an hour ago it was super slow.....i thought it was my network....but other sites where fine.

[Speed Racer]

It's the new server ... it has through-put issues.

I'm guessing it's on a very narrow bandwidth pipeline, and depending on how busy things are where it's co-located, if they're experiencing heavy usage, our transfer speed suffers as a result.

[repinS]

I'm fine *shrug*
