Site Performance

**Greg** · Jul 11, 2005, 11:20 AM

Have you noticed any significant differences in this Web site's performance before the host change in mid-May? Personally, I've experienced several instances where the site is slow or not accessible at all. When it runs well, it really cooks, but I've seen a lot of downtime compared to the old host. I hope to have the site moved to a new server overnight some night this week, but I'm curious as to what others have experienced.

I've seen issues just lately, like the past week or two. Mostly slow loadings, a few times I haven't been able to get in at all, either to the forums or the site in general.

I've been getting connection refused messages in firefox. I figured that it was just a browser issue. But then I tried in IE and was also getting nothing.

Between that and slowness lately... somethings going on.

Yeah - recently there have been times when I couldn't get in. That never happened until just the past few weeks.

I only check the site once or twice per day and haven't been affected by any of the aforementioned issues, so I would personally say "About the same".

When its working its working good, I don't know if I'd say it was better I nver had any problems before. However, at least once a day (probably more like 2-3 times a day) for the last few weeks I've experienced extremely slow load times and maybe 3-4 times a week that I can't get into the site at all, sometimes while I'm in the middle of a post! I was going to post something, but I saw in past threads that you were working on the problem with the host so I didn't bother.

Seems to be S L O W E R and less reliable these days.

Thanks for the feedback, all. The site will be moved to a new server overnight tonight so let's see what tomorrow brings...
