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.

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!

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!

      I did Ashley.  Non-rev travel was one of the major factors for taking the job.  At the time, US Airways had the best non-rev policy in the industry.  It cost $10 to fly coach and $25 to fly first class.  We flew first class whenever there were seats available.

      You should have a moderator fix what you meant to write as "birth certificate".  Ooops.   I've gone over that verse and am wholly and completely dissatisfied with the SBC exegesis of it, so much so that it was one of the things that helped me break out of a mindset of guit.  Sometime I may strut by stuff as a Hebraist and show what it really means.

      I found this   — 450 — Mandate for Leadership: The Conservative Promise Goal #1: Protecting Life, Conscience, and Bodily Integrity. The Secretary should pursue a robust agenda to protect the fundamental right to life, protect con- science rights, and uphold bodily integrity rooted in biological realities, not ideology. From the moment of conception, every human being possesses inherent dignity and worth, and our humanity does not depend on our age, stage of development, race, or abilities. The Secretary must ensure that all HHS programs and activities are rooted in a deep respect for innocent human life from day one until natural death: Abortion and euthanasia are not health care. A robust respect for the sacred rights of conscience, both at HHS and among gov- ernments and institutions funded by it, increases choices for patients and program beneficiaries and furthers pluralism and tolerance. The Secretary must protect Americans’ civil rights by ensuring that HHS programs and activities follow the letter and spirit of religious freedom and conscience-protection laws. Radical actors inside and outside government are promoting harmful identity politics that replaces biological sex with subjective notions of “gender identity” and bases a person’s worth on his or her race, sex, or other identities. This destructive dogma, under the guise of “equity,” threatens American’s fundamental liberties as well as the health and well-being of children and adults alike. The next Secretary must ensure that HHS programs protect children’s minds and bodies and that HHS programs respect parents’ basic right to direct the upbringing, education, and care of their children.   https://static.project2025.org/2025_MandateForLeadership_CHAPTER-14.pdf   First, that is not much, if that is all that is of concern.  Secondly, I have seen all sorts of anti-Trump slander, including the Steele dossier and the lawfare he is now undergoing, to be cynical of any criticism against him, and indirectly this document.    He deserves some of what he is getting, but not all.  Thirdly, I bolded one statement of concern.   I don't think gender identity is subjective.  "Radical actors" is name calling, and there is a lot of that going around.  Maybe I am not seeing everything of concern or reading this right, but i would discuss with the author of this document concerning this.

      Good evening   well I finally finished reading my textbook.  Yeah.  But I still have a lot more to go for the class.     My endocrinologist always asks me about lactation.  And yes I have had some very small amounts of leakage but not on any regular basis.  I figure I blocked the discharge Duce when I pierced my nipples with scare tissue.  But who knows.  I also get asked about mammograms.  I e had my first or baseline and this fall I will need to schedule my second.   As someone in the midst of studying the Old Testament, I can say that I haven’t found any mention of pending damnation for being transgender or intersex.  The closest it comes is a verse that says men should not wear women’s clothing.  Now I don’t know each and everyone’s particulars, but I know I meet the medical definition of female gender, and even in Ohio, a State that until recently refused to allow bitch certificates to be changed, I meet the criteria.  Therefore I can only conclude I am not a man wearing women’s clothing.  But there is a somewhat different scholarly explanation of that law that it should not be taken as literally as the haters want.  Mostly men should not pretend to be women to ex ape from their enemies. Or tried to hide from God.     willow

      Well, the left wing has been doing that.    I read a few things while trying to find out what the problem is and liked what I read.  But I am a conservative.    Is there something specific in there that is of concern?  Does it promise somewhere to erase trans folk? That would be problematic.
    • Ivy
      It's a plan to basically completely take over the government by the right wing.

      I'm actually in Asheville tonight.  Some of the people in the support group invited me for dinner after the meeting.  We're going to get together again tomorrow again. It's been nice, 4 trans women and 1 trans man, together ar a restaurant.
    • Abigail Genevieve
      I found https://www.project2025.org/policy/   I will have to read it.  I have not.  What is of concern?   The link provided earlier goes back to this forum.

      My parents were life long Democrats.

      'Nuff said. Yeah I'm not thrilled with Biden either. There are some conservative ideas I'm good with.  And I do feel that the current Democratic party is too cozy with the bankers and wealthy.  But despite all their talk, when it comes down to it, so are the Republicans.  And it's not the Dems calling for our eradication. Unfortunately, I see this election as existential for trans folks.

      Good evening everyone,   @Birdie your CNA Is ill informed about breast and proper bra fitting.   My wife and I are checking out a campground up in Michigan just a little North of Saginaw, MI. We had a great meal at a local tavern serving delicious perch fillet dinner.   We’re going to check out the Saginaw,MI Bay area for summer time activities for when we come back on occasion. We belong to a camping club call Adventure Outdoors and have free camping at their resorts around Michigan and Ohio.   Hugs,   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      I agree.   Biden has been known to switch positions without notice, whether on abortion, Gaza or gay marriage.  Most of what he has done has been via executive order and decision, so it does not carry the force of lasting law and can be easily reversed.  I really do not trust him at all.   Trump says a lot of things.  He switches his position all the time.  Most of what he wants to do will require legislation to accomplish, some of which will simply never become law.  I do not trust him at all.   I'm not sure which is worse for trans people specifically because of this, and the fact that the other issues that surround trans folk which I attempted to isolate this question from, but here I go :) also affect trans people along with everyone else.   In either case trans folk need to be prepared. 
    • Carolyn Marie
      I'm certain that there are some, if not many, but you would be hard pressed to find them willing to speak up on this forum.  There are many trans folk who are conservative, and believe that Biden's non-trans related policies are terrible.  Those include his economic, foreign policy, border security, and environmental policies.  I'm a lifelong Democrat, and even I don't like all of Biden's policies.  It comes down to who would do the most damage to the most people, and the most damage to America as a going democratic nation which has respect for the rule of law.   Carolyn Marie

      Thank you for continuing to share your story, Sally!   Willa sounded like a grand friend, I'm sorry for your loss. :(

      Not all conservatives are for Trump.  I am far from thrilled he is running.  Just wanted to make that clear.
