Is this site?

Is is pissing anybody else off?

It seriously takes ages and ages to load. Forget it if your thinking of opening a topic with pictures in......... go and get a brew.

And before anybody says "Clear your internet files" blah blah blah, already done it. It's not just slow from home, it's at work aswell.

Anyone else agree?

Been having a nightmare opening the site as it says it cannot find server, i then delete the internet files etc etc and it still has trouble BUT from work it's perfectly fine

sometimes it's really quick and sometimes its really slow! I think it all depends on how many people are online and posting

It's the new policy to go inline with the performance of the new scoob want this site to go faster? get subaru to make a faster car

Back OT, no problems here. Maybe worth clearing your cache etc. may be slowing your machine down.

It usually boils down to one of two things. You ISP being rubbish or more commonly your postcode is in an oversubscribed area and too many people are trying to access the internet (not this page) trhough one exchange.

So say your in the middle of brum you probably have loadsa users, but in scotland you'd probably be laughing!

Firstly, at work, I work in an O2 call centre. We have one of the fastest internet connections I have ever used. I have no problems accessing other sites AT THE SAME time as accessing this site, while it's running slow.

Secondly, at home, we have O2 Broadband. Having switched from Sky Broadband, O2 is much faster. At the same time as accessing this site slowly, I have previously downloaded 4 torrent files with an average total download speed of 800kbps (ranging from 1.2mbps to 450kbps).

So the access speed at home or from work isn't really an issue.

Ok going into more detail.. It can also be effected by the route you take to the scooby net server.

Again say you work in brum you may go through vaiouse serves/routers etc before you get to the scoobynet website, If one of these is having problems, or getting hammered then your route to the scooby net server is going to be slow. Wehn at the same time you could be accessing another website (hence another server) through a completely different route.

However if you worked in devon, you would access the same servers but over a different route, different servers/routers.

Its usually location/route based... and quite hard to pin point with accuracy (unless you go down the whole trace route path).

So you don't think a database compression would help?

satancom

I wouldn't imagine database compresion would help, infact it would probably slow it down... Database optimisation and integrity checks would improve the speed of a forum, by clearing out dead space and reducing the size of the database. I imagine this is run on a scheduled basis anyhow!

That's what I meant

Still tho, it's been fine today
