I noticed it too!
it's very slow to get here....
I am having the same problem....
I've cranked up MJ-12, everything is slow now.
I don't have any bandwidth projects running... So I can't use that excuse... Are we using alot of bandwidth Jeff??
seems ok now. was slow earlier for me too.
weekend forum backup maybe?
It took me 11 seconds to load this page.....
46s for me on 256/64 ADSL.
Slow for me too. Something is not right.
I wonder if it is because of all our fancy Sigs? maybe?
I traced the loading components.
It is the Pi Segment signatures.
The trace shows the delay is "Transferring data from pisegment.vicp.net..."
They get loaded for every page view from the Pi Segment Server which is on a dreadfully slow link atm as we all know.
If we all disable the Pi Segment signatures on our sigs the problem will go right away.
At least until the asian undersea Internet cable is fixed in about 6 weeks time or so.
Want a faster response? - drop the Pi sigs.
Confirmed.
This page with no Pi Seg Sig - Fast
Previous page with Pi Seg Sig - Slow
BTW can someone on the Pi Seg project contact JUST and recommend that he disable the sigs from his end until the undersea cable is fixed as this I/O problem must also be playing merry h*ll with his server and what ever other forums people may have these sigs on will be going slow too.
Just a thought. :)
OK, mine's gone.Quote:

A nice bit of investigation Dave.
Well, he is a "Legend in his own mind". Some of that legendary ability has been shared with the rest of us. No kidding, good work Dave.
ok mines gone now too!!
Haha, I'm glad it wasn't our server. We have over 200GB of bandwidth available to us each month, and we use rougly 4 or 5GB. So we are good!
I emailed Just and ask for his help in disabling the sigs.
isn't there a way for an admin to deal with the problem right now from this end?
if Just doesn't ever reply, will the problem never go away?
I can disable everyone's sigs.
Just has been very good about anything we have ask for. I think that we could give him a day or so. This is just one more thing that no one would have forseen and I have no reason to think he would be anything but helpful. If you do it Jeff would it be just Pi Segment or all sigs?
It still took me 10 seconds to load the page... All the other pages I visit are alot faster...:(
It took me 20-25 seconds open our the page where we write or messages. Also when editing our pages takes time and yet I have 8 MB broadband. I will restart mu modem and router and see if there will be any difference.:icon_mad:
In have use Telias Supportassistent (My ISP) and restore my Modem settings and restarted my Router. Then I restarted the computer and now the problem seems be solved. It is a lot faster now.:)
I have sent Ping to our server and here is the result:
Sending signals to amdusers.com with 9999 byte of data
Ping-statistic:

Is that good or bad?:icon_neutral:
I have sent Ping to two more and I se our server is the slowest of them all:

Spjeff69 what is your option? I can´t see another cause our server is slow.:icon_rolleyes:
.2 to .3 seconds to communicate with a device is rather slow.
I believe it is the sigs that are slowing down the page loadings over here for us. If the Pi Segment ones are stored in Asia then it's a large cause right there, because of the Taiwan earthquake. (Your sig takes a bit to load Lagu)
But I've been examining Free-DC's stats tables alot lately and their stats pages aren't fast to load either, even being just tables with letters and numbers they take anything from 15 seconds to over a minute to load. So probably Free-DC's stats sigs might also take a bit to load as well.
So... my guess is that (besides the Taiwan earthquake thing) every stats site is getting hammered with more and more people and requests per second everyday, and that is taking its toll on the forums and websites that have stats based sigs (not just ours)
But then... escalating demand of an online service usually leads to one of three things. 1) It starts being a paid service. 2) It closes. 3) The hardware and bandwidth are upgraded.
p.s. - Jeff, please don't take away our pretty sigs. I'm sure things will work themselves out someway. :)
I will call our host tomorrow
Apparently something was not working correctly with the Apache server. Should be working better now.
And it is BLAZING!
Just has taken our Pi Segment sigs offline till the cables are repaired. He will be happy to turn them back on as soon as repairs are finished.
The difference is noticeable. Nice one Jeff.
nice job with fixing server jeff.
and good work dave
I have once again make a Ping and we have got a little reduction in time compared to yesterday but I wonder if it not could be yet better? I’m not complaining only asking.Quote:
