Transpulse pages slow to load


DeeDee

Recommended Posts

I do not know if anyone else is having this issue but I have noticed that my page response times seem to be getting longer and longer so I thought I would ask,

is this happening to anyone else?

For example I moved from a private message screen to the main forum screen to write this and it took 32 seconds for the page to load.

Once I have accessed a page for a session it speeds up to the usual few seconds but this has been consistently happening to me for a while now.

I use Google Chrome as my main browser, I have a decent PC and broadband speed, other sites I access load in seconds, and even in my chromebook it takes a while.

Hi @DeeDee

 

Yes - I'm getting the same sort of response times, but that's nothing new for me. Maybe a bit slower in the last couple of days but not significantly slower than the normal level of slow!

I’ll raise it with piper later on, when I’m on my pc rather than my tablet. Of course, it could down to the size of the database...

I agree, Dee Dee.  This site has long been very slow to load pages. Other sites I visit don't have this issue.  Thanks for looking into it, @Petra Jane.

That was my first guess.  Maybe a judicious trimming might be in order.

It comes and goes with me. Sometimes it's quick, other times not so much. I'm using Chrome. Number of windows open doesn't seem to be a factor. Sometimes It's quick when I have a dozen TGP windows up, sometimes not. I was chalking it up to internet demons.

 

Hugs!

Funnily enough, the site has just loaded the fastest it has for a while...

Maybe it is intimidated by you Petra.  Mine also loads slower than some other sites but it isn't disturbing.

It loads pretty slow for me as well.  I have gotten pop-ups that warn that the page is using a lot of energy.  I've not seen that on other sites.

But I don't want to complain, this place is a lifesaver for me.

It has always loaded at a crawl for me. Hasn't felt consistently slower the last few days. I always assumed it was because it was probably being hosted on a budget friendly hosting plan since it's not a money driven forum.  If it's a shared hosting plan bandwidth can come and go depending on demands by other sites.  I may be totally wrong though.  Never bothered me too much since it's run by donations and the service it provides us is so special I don't mind waiting 5-20 seconds for a page to load.

Actually we are on a dedicated server so I have asked Piper to take a look.

I remember dial up waiting times, so don't want to complain because of a few extra seconds and seem ungrateful lol, I remember starting to download something and coming back the next day to check on it and hope the connection hadnt dropped! I'll take 30 seconds over that any day! ?

I presumed a lot of my slowness was due to Windows 10 as it is going slower and slower on my laptop. I find some other sites are a bit iffy at times too, although this is the slowest.

Just to make you aware, I've set some background processes going that are supposed to make things run a little smoother/quicker, ONCE these processes are complete.

 

These include changing the caching that allow Guests to see the forums from refreshed every 30 seconds, to 30 minutes, also extending the time that caching takes place. These processes are currently at 11% complete, and have been running for 10 minutes or so, so please allow at least an hour for this to complete.

 

Plus Piper is going to take a look at the server asap.

Just as long as you're not caching a cold, PJ.  So far, so good!  Thanks!

Thank you!

I'm still experiencing about 6-10 second load times. Seems longer when clicking on notifications links.  Pretty confident in my connection speeds and computer processing since it's a new mac and I have high speed broadband.

Piper has checked and she get's complete page loads in about 3 seconds.

 

Admittedly, that is a lot better than I do, from my area of the UK pages take about 6-8 seconds

 

I've run a test to load the forum home page and that loads in 4.17seconds based on a US ping.

The same test running from a UK ping/location reports just 2.09seconds to load the page.

It's been really responsive for me this morning. I just did a quick test and I'm getting 16ms pings so any problems I'm having isn't the internet itself.

 

Hugs!

      Wow that is a high number for Estradiol good grief! Testosterone levels are better than mine. I don't remember my Estradiol level but testosterone was 80. To me that is really high but it was in the two hundreds the check in before last one.

      I don't understand why this would make a difference being a "dad" I mean, as far as how they would grow.
    • Ashley0616
      I don't see why not. I have worn forms since I came out. 
    • MaeBe
      I have never worn breastforms, but I assume as long as they don't aggravate your nipples you could.

      Every week I've been excited to take my shot, so it's never been an issue. Yesterday, however, I woke up and started my usual "slow roll" and then suddenly realized I had breakfast plans that I had to rush out the door for. After, it was straight into work calls, and then I got the notification from the doctor about things being too high and all the while my mind had completely slipped that I needed take my shot.   Given that I am not asking for medical advice, but sharing my journey, I will note my results: Estradiol at 447 pg/mL and Testosterone was 23 ng/dL, up and down from 26 pg/mL and 526 ng/dL respectively before treatment. Almost flipped the bit! The doc would like my Estradiol closer to 300 pg/mL, so we'll see what Monday's tests state.   Oh, and I teased the dinner with old soccer teammates and never updated the thread! It went well. There were a couple funny moments. One guy, who I was worried about their response, greeted me with "Hey, you've lost some weight!" 😎 And a friend who lives near me picked me up on the way to dinner exclaimed, after we learned one of the invitees might show up with a date, "Wait! We could have brought women?!" To which I instantly responded, "You kind of did, bringing me!" Everyone got a good laugh out of that. 😁

      To me there isn't that much difference other the measurement, which side the zipper is on and men's pants have bigger pockets. 
    • missyjo
      I hope this is not stupid question..I have yet to start n not sure if doc will approve..but once you start growing buds n such, can you still wear forms to get to the size you were?   I'm a dad, so when I start blossoms they will be smaller for a long time n probably need surgical augmented..that's fine. I don't want to go ddd to aa to ddd..   any ideas?   thank you

      April sounds fun..I keep some boy jeans to visit mom in..fir now   hugs

      I like them too.  We had them growing up.  But my father's family were Swedes.

      Oh my!  I guess it just goes to show how different tastes can be. Since we don't live near the ocean, Seafood is a rare luxury. We absolutely love pickled herring! Especially my husband and my GF, I guess it's a Ferman/Russian cultural thing.  But most of the kids like it too, and a jar wouldn't last in the pantry for long 😆
    • awkward-yet-sweet
      I think the key to that is just not minding eating the same thing repeatedly. Since we produce a lot of our own food here, we end up eating what is in season at the moment. So, when the yellow squash is ripening, we end up fixing squash 20 different ways. When the strawberries are ready, we eat lots of strawberries. It's kind of a different mindset to eat in season when it has become such a part of American culture but the grocery store has everything we want all the time. Like grapes in December.  My family does even things out a little bit by having a greenhouse so we have some fresh things in the winter, but it's not a 100% fix.
    • KathyLauren
      My brothers and I had to eat what was on the plate.  All of it, and nothing else.  Pickiness was not tolerated.  Some of our least favourite were liver and onions, sauerkraut, and especially rollmops (pickled herring).  We finally protested enough to persuade our mother not to serve rollmops, though she kept a jar in the pantry for years afterwards, as a threat if we didn't behave.

      I'll go first.  My favorite team is the Yankees.  Loved them since I was a kid.  I was born in NYC so, yeah.  I know everyone loves to hate them, and that's OK.  I just love baseball in general.  It's a game of traditions, strategy, power, grace and skill.   Play Ball!!  ⚾   Carolyn Marie

      I guess you do have a good point. It's just hard to try and not have the same meals over and over again.

      Hi   I’ll weigh in on being picky about food.  Yes, and I was brought up that way.  We didn’t have to eat everything our parents ate.  They had a number of things they ate that they figured we wouldn’t eat, an acquired taste things or one or the other didn’t like them too.   even as an adult there are many things I won’t eat.  In my defense, there are different things my wife won’t eat.   the weird thing is that after being in E, my tastes have changed.  Sweet, sour, salty or bland, if I eat or drink too much of any one thing and I have to counter act it.   Willow
