Site speed
 

Hi all,

Just wondering, how quick is TalkPHP for you? It seems very slow for me, and apppears to be getting slower :-/

A few examples, loading a thread page or forum listing generally takes between 10-15 seconds, posting a new thread/reply seems to take at least 20 seconds.

I've now got into the habbit of opening 4-5 threads in seperate tabs then going off to update my blog while I wait for them to load :-D

Anyone else have similar experiances or is it just my dodgy NTL internet?

Alan

I use a proxy, and to open pages, for example this page, it takes 2 seconds!

The site is really fast here in the Netherlands, opens up in about 1 second or less.

Seems fast for me.

Quite quick for me. 1-2 seconds tops...

It's fairly quick, according to Fasterfox it takes 3.6 seconds.

Dang, so it only hates me then :-(

Don't know if it actually helps, since I've never surfed without it, but you can use Fasterfox to tweak your settings and help you speed up your surfing.

I'm on Virgin/NTL and it's super fast. Hmm. I can tell you the server isn't even breaking a sweat - it's one of those super duper ones with 16GB of RAM and all. Therefore I have no idea why it's slow for you! What's your ping like when you ping it?

Ping is fine - around the 150ms mark. Nothing odd in a traceroute either, maxes out at about 200ms.

Oh well, is no matter - I blame Virgin - used to them doing odd things now :-D

Alan

Yeah. Ping is good. NTL always been really ace for me. Very few problems! Maybe a handful of times, and that's years ago. Blame your PC? :-)

Happens on the wifes laptop as well unfortunately :-( Could be my wireless router, will give that a kick later to see if that improves it.

Alan

Dont you mean Virgin not now :p

TalkPHP has always been fast for me.
