Forum performance

***Zardon*** · Mar 17, 2003, 03:51 PM

Guys I just wanted to post an up to date thread regarding site performance. how are you all finding it to be running atm ?

Angel Tormented · Mar 17, 2003, 03:54 PM

it seems a tiny bit slow when first loading up....it may be the ad engine....btw i did run adaware 6 and it didnt find anything other than the standard alexa

but after im on site its always zooming

I think its running fine.

***Zardon*** · Mar 17, 2003, 04:20 PM

we are using new ad code, it should be alot faster, lets leave this thread open for any problems that might arise (or exist!)

ill do some testing in other browsers real quick to see what i notice

btw thank you allan.....feels good to be helping

Zippy, leave it as is

Definely ALOT faster than what it was. Keep up the good work

Runs fast and smooth on my end.

so far I have tested it out in Opera and Netscape 7.02 and Mozilla 1.3

and it seems in all other browsers it isn't having the prob with the initial access of the site that im having in IE so it may just be sumthing in the way my IE is setup

I'll have to try and work that out later

Everything's ok in Mozilla 1.3, Opera 7.0 and Phoenix 0.5. I wouldn't know about IE since I don't use it.

I have problems with access to the site and forum. Infrequently, I get timeouts or very slow speed. Might be a problem with my proxy, but I can hardly believe that since I can reach any other site fast while driverheaven is crawling at times. This all happened today and only today.

server loads are very low, and everything seems ok on my side, so perhaps its an isolated incident or ISP issue.

I've also had issues just today... couldn't get on at all earlier for about 2 hours.... and just now it was a while before the home page loaded. I mean the status bar was fast to fill up but was just white stuck for a bit. Overall though, I must say, A+ site

Erroneus · Mar 20, 2003, 03:08 PM

much faster now, before it was a bit slow and some time the pages were loaded two times..?!?!? maybe beacuse I'm using Opera, dunno, but it doesn't happen anymore, great work

***Zardon*** · Mar 20, 2003, 03:09 PM

please remember the site gets on average 10 gig of bandwidth a day on the forum alone (with compression on)....... it has a fair amount to cope with.

I'm curious about the technical aspect of this. 10 gigs is a lot, where is it all hosted? What machine, specs and such? What about the back-ups for this?

~~Crash Override~~ · Mar 20, 2003, 08:36 PM

seems faster to me today.....im having no connect issues anymore in any browsers.

hey allan did you change the ad code out or?
