Damn This Website is Slow and Wonky Right Now

they must have spent all there money on moderator salaries instead of bandwidth

 

Works fast here. Must be something on your side or the network to your place.

 

oh that's it...blame the victim!

 

Changed the preferences to display 20 items per page and now seems faster.

 

It is slower than shit. No other sites are an issue for me.

 

It has been slow and wonky for a while now and it's not my internet as no other site is so slow opening pages or posting on....the site needs an upgrade as it doesn't either seem to handle the traffic well or is buffering too much spam...I'm not sure what it is but it's S2, that's for sure. This place hasn't had an upgrade in a long time I don't think. It's a pain to edit a post on here as well...

 

Well, if it works fast for me elsewhere, the issue is not with the site, but with the network. It's either somewhere between or closer to you. That's just science. Unless you are the network, that's not victim blaming.

Are you the network?

 

If it has the same issues with my old Century Link now with my new faster Spectrum and with my Iphone which uses the 5G network, not my server so it's S2...no way around it. I've found it does the same thing when I visit my son and use his computer and he's got the fastest connection you can get for his job. Glad you don't have the issue but many, many people have had this issue and it's not a new issue.

 

Yes way about it. It could be the DNS server that serves the Pacific NW, it could be whatever local infrastructure provider has that serves your area. That's the nature of the modern Internet.

There is nothing special about my setup other than being in a different geographic zone than you. Say it is hosted on Amazon's infrastructure (no idea if it, just an example) and they have an issue with their data servers / dns servers in that area of the country - this is not an S2 issue, it is an infrastructure issue. Simple as that.

 

...also about the only "unsecure" url left on the internet ...upgrade the SSL certificate already @Denny Crane -- if you need a new hosting company, then checkout www.sitegroundhost.com (the SSL is FREE!!)

 

Too many long winded posts.

 

explain how no other homesites in the area have this glitching issue then if it's not S2....Blazers Edge doesn't have it or any other local sites I've visited. They use the same internet connection as S2 so....that makes no sense to my limited tech knowledge. If it's infrastructure it should affect all my internet viewing, not just one site. Seems the "unsecured" URL may have an issue with security.

 

I explained it. They use a different infrastructure provider that does a better job of their DNS servers or something else in your area.

As I said, there is nothing special about my setup that it works for me great in Socal and it does not for you. That means it is a network issue. We have an app that is used in 3 zones (US, Europe, Middle East) - and it can be fast in one of them and slow in others because of local network issues using the providers we have (Mostly AWS). That's how the internet works. (To be fair to AWS, their 99.999% availability TOS seems to be close to correct, it is very rare to have issues with them that are not quickly resolved)

Again, I have no idea what infrastructure is used for this site, but if it works in one place and not in another, it's an infrastructure issue.

An example - 6 months ago Google and MS had real big issues on the east coast, it worked fine on the west coast.



In 2020 half the internet went down because of a Cloudflare issue.

Now, you could argue that this is a site issue because they chose a "bad" infrastructure provider, but that's usually way out of the hands of a small site operator.

 

I blame Mrs. HCP's waiting list.

 

Feed that squirrel!!!

 

Woooooah.
