tractorbynet slow?

[galaxie428]

I know this has nothing to do with Bobcat tractors but I am just curious if others on this site are seeing the web pages load very slow? It doesn't matter whether I am at work (T1) or at home (DSL), it is taking me about 53s for a web page to load. I checked a couple other forums on here and they were the same.

I don't have this issue with any other site I go to so there must be something going on with this site.

Are any of you seeing the same?

No problems here......unless I run into a thread with huge picture files.

No problem on cable or DSL. I did have speed problems when I logged on to TBN through AOL.

R U logged in? I think it goes slower if you R in guest mode(not logged in).

Hi,

A quick way to check to see whether it may be this TBN site or your connection or other cause, is to look at the very last line of the displayed page that seems to load slowly.

That will be a line like this:

"Page generated in 0.21932 seconds with 14 queries [Server Loads: 1.34 1.46 : 1.54]"

If TBN is having problems, the "Page generated in ... seconds" will be a high number like 5, 10, or more seconds.

If the page loads in a second or 2, or less (most pages load in .5 or less time), then TBN is not the cause.

As most of you know, we run huge volumes of traffic on this site. In fact, I recently noted TBN is ranked in the Top 1,000 web sites in terms of traffic. We are always evaluating our systems, server capabilities and so forth. And, we make adjustments as necessary.

THanks for that useful info Hakim.

On another note, I just replied to a post and got a database error and my reply lost. I'm guessing it got logged, but seems like there might be a site issue.

Congrats on the rankings - that's pretty impressive. The way I see it, sites like this are the new model that will replace a lot of magazines.

Hey
If you're using IE try clearing your History files and Cookies. This may be the cause of slowness problem and database read errors.

thanks kioti - got a note though saying its a know error and they are working on it. Might be different for others, I've had that work before. Or on Firefox, do a who new "identity" (Spacing on the term)

Yeah, we are upgrading servers around December 15-20 so expect performance improvements at that time.
