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!

Things appear somewhat quicker now.

 

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!

      Well yesterday didn't work like I wanted to. I met a guy and started talking and he was wanting to be in a relationship. I asked my kids on how they thought of me dating a man and they said gross and said no. I guess it's time to look for women. I think that is going to be harder. Oh well I guess.

      This topic reminds me of the lyrics to the Beatles song, "A Little Help From My Friends."   "What do you see when you turn out the lights?"   "I can't tell you but I know it's mine."   Carolyn Marie

      @Ivy have you read the actual document?   Has anyone else out there read it?
    • Abigail Genevieve
      I am reading the Project 2025 document https://www.project2025.org/policy/   This will take some time.  I read the forward and I want to read it again later.   I read some criticism of it outside here and I will be looking for it in the light of what has been posted here and there.  Some of the criticism is bosh.   @MaeBe have you read the actual document?

      Old topic, but I gotta say my favorites are: "Stop hitting on minors" (doesn't work if you're holder tho) and "Sure as [squid] not you"

      Abigail, I think we will just leave the other posts where they are, and the discussion can start anew here.  It is possible to do what you ask, but would disrupt the flow of the discussion in the other thread, and would require more work than it's worth.   Carolyn Marie

      I am in too good a mood to earn my certificate today. I am sure something will happen that will put me on the path to earning it.

      It's likely most cis-women consider a fitting unnecessary "because they know what  they wear" and get used to the wrong size.  The instructions for what your size is are simple and why go to any further effort?  You measure your bandsize and you measure your max and subtract the two to get the needed info for the cup size.  Then you buy the same size for years until it hurts or something.

      Congratulations Lorelei! Yes, it is a powerful feeling to have the documents that say "you are you".

      Here is space for discussion on this, since the topic is large and could derail another thread SOMEBODY started.   Could some dear, sweet, kind Moderator pull everything related to this from the Voting for Trump thread and put it here?  I don't know if you can do that; I am the new girl on the block after all (blinks sweetly).
