This place is SLOWWWwww

I am on 22mbs internet connection.

The forum always loads really SLOW.

No other issues with the rest of the sites, just here.

Just a heads up is all…

Thanks Bill

What browser are you using? I’m using Chrome right now, tried with Safari 5, and Firefox and Walter has this place blazing super fast.

Could you please try loading this URL? http://freewaypro.com/counter2

I have a theory here, and if you can see this page load quickly, then I’ll have to move on to a different theory. But if this page stalls for you as well, I will have confirmation of my theory and we can proceed to fix it for you.

And still, very slow on http://freewaytalk.net ? Does it change by what page you are browsing? Did you check the “remember me” option when you logged in (and are you logged in while you are seeing this stall)?

I’d like to narrow this down, because what you describe is completely not what I see here or Dan sees.

Can you see this script, and does it load quickly? http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/prototype/1.6/prototype.js

It “WAS” slow. From the main page clicking on a topic like Off Topic, it was slow.

Coming in now it was quite fast.

The next time it stalls, see if you can see FreeCounter. If not, then that’s the problem. I’m going to have to carve out a couple of days and migrate FreeCounter (and all my other sites still on TextDrive’s creaky old Alberni) to a Joyent Smart Machine. Those stay running for years at a time, and don’t suffer the sorts of problems born of “Other People’s Sites on a shared server” that Alberni does.
