Slow Load Times

[G0DZLR]

is anyone else having the same prob im having with very sluggish load times for the boards? doesnt matter where im logged in, whether it be school or home, or what browser...its as slow as a wet weak...

im guessing it has something to do with the new host, just thought i should check if its happening to anyone else.

and no, my net is fast and not capped

Same probs as mentioned above. I thought it was a fault at my end??? i have cleared cookies, cache, browsing history, all SAU bookmarks, and still have the same prob. Any ideas? Regards, Steve.

Its been slow for me too... I've been thinking i was problems with my internet.........

Nah I think its the change in servers, and its not upto scratch on the optimisation for the number of hits SAU gets. Not sure if its been moved to a cluster or not but its not performing.

interesting test, decided since my emails open in IE, to try and surf the boards. it WORKs....but its damn slow...now Firefox doesnt work at all which sucks cos. <3 FF.

According to another thread, Prankeh currently has the new server up and running alongside the old one, with both pointing to the new database. I'd hazard a guess and say that if you're experiencing speed issues, you're connecting via the old web server.

If you're on Windows, try this command at a DOS prompt: ipconfig /flushdns. If that doesn't solve it (or if you're running an OS that doesn't cache DNS, like Linux) you'll just have to wait until your ISP's name servers are updated.

Yeah, nothing has been optimised yet. It'll get better, I promise.

im experiencing this to. cheers for the notice. will sit tight and hope like hell it improves

[PranK]

Ok, I have installed a caching engine and have adjusted some MySQL variables.

Let me know if its any better or worse.

[G0DZLR]

ED: 36hours have passed and um well, im posting from IE cos firefox times out loading topics or the home page...IE atleast loads after a long wait...keep trying for a solution christian

[PranK]

Yeah it seems to be dragging again today. I'm trying to sort it out.

Hey, has anyone else noticed that the sau site is really really slow. It took about 10 minutes to load on my computer, and sometimes it doesnt connect at all. Are there still technical problems with the new server, or is my computer fcuked?

[GTRsean]

Yep, got the same problem doing most things here.

I think there are things still being worked on since the server switch.

[noisia]

+1 for slowness. thought it was just my computer being homo
