Reekie_Red Posted May 3, 2007 Report Posted May 3, 2007 I'm nae one of the folk who is having issues with my speed on the site. But can anyone who was previously having issues please let me know if there is any improvement now? I've been doing a wee bit of tweaking on the site, and believe I might've stumbled across something that may have been slowing several users down ... especially users who are behind multiple firewalls. If you were previously having speed-related issues, can you please let us know here if the site is a bit faster now ... or indeed if there's no change whatsoever! Quote
NPRC Posted May 3, 2007 Report Posted May 3, 2007 Yeah I'm running a lot faster now, mate. Any chance you can undo the advice I gave to Dandy_Don re: avatars...my huge avatar is getting too me. Quote
Reekie_Red Posted May 4, 2007 Author Report Posted May 4, 2007 Done! I've re-enabled the avatar resizing. How is the speed now? Still good? Or has the site slowed down again? Quote
NPRC Posted May 4, 2007 Report Posted May 4, 2007 I'm unsure - speed was never a problem for me at home but was slow at uni. I'll check tomorrow what it's like and put a post up. Quote
Reekie_Red Posted May 4, 2007 Author Report Posted May 4, 2007 Yes please, if you could! I believe the issue may now be fixed, but I need as many people who were having speed-related issues to check the site again and report accordingly! Cheers Quote
bilbobaggins Posted May 4, 2007 Report Posted May 4, 2007 Reekie, I was having major performance problems from work (not from home though) but your recent changes mean the site is flying from work again. Good job fella. Quote
Reekie_Red Posted May 4, 2007 Author Report Posted May 4, 2007 It appears that the site wa configured to slow down access if you were browsing through a network that was behind multiple firewalls. Very rarely are home users behind more than one firewall, but offices are quite often behind both hardware AND software firewalls. As such, a lot of people found browsing the site from work a very slow and laborious task. I've since disabled the bit of coding that was affected by these firewalls, and it appears to have paid dividends. Quote
Millers Tache Posted May 6, 2007 Report Posted May 6, 2007 I only get access at home, but i've noticed a major improvement in speed this past few days. Good work Reekie. Quote
NPRC Posted May 6, 2007 Report Posted May 6, 2007 Uni internet access has been on the blink the last couple of days with power cuts cause servers to go down etc. so not been able to check the speed. I assume it's probably flying though. Quote
K-9 Posted May 9, 2007 Report Posted May 9, 2007 Was at work i was getting painful speed problems but now sorted it seems. Quote
mizer Posted May 9, 2007 Report Posted May 9, 2007 I'm at work where I had all the speed problems - now it is nice and nippy Quote
chunk Posted August 2, 2007 Report Posted August 2, 2007 Yes, it's very fast now. Apologies for taking 5 months to get round to posting this. Quote
Monkey Posted August 3, 2007 Report Posted August 3, 2007 Yes, it's very fast now. Apologies for taking 5 months to get round to posting this. Hello Chunk.... Quote
PittodrieGoesBerserk Posted July 31, 2008 Report Posted July 31, 2008 I hadn't had an issue with the speed until a couple of days ago, and now it is often very slow. Quote
TENEMENTFUNSTER Posted July 31, 2008 Report Posted July 31, 2008 I'm the same PGB, paifully slow sometimes. Quote
Kowalski Posted July 31, 2008 Report Posted July 31, 2008 It was running like Lee Miller for me earlier on, but it seems be okay tonight. Quote
Reekie_Red Posted August 1, 2008 Author Report Posted August 1, 2008 Hmmm. I'll take a look. Nothing's been changed on a configuration level. I know the guy who owns our server was looking to upgrade the memory on the server reasonably soon. Wonder if this had anything to do with it Quote
