Stuart ,
Is 4WD Aventures the same as Getabout 4WD Aventures ?
Willie .

Hi Stuart,
I don't seem to have a problem from here.
Are you sure it isn't your ISP? but you say that it happens with different connections .....
Once you click on a link it doesn't really matter much where the link is as you are instantly telling the net where you want to go.

But maybe because I'm a member here :-))

Cheers,
Mike

Clear your browser cache and all the cookies ( Browser options ). Run a program such as Ad-Aware (free version) to clear away the unwanted spy ware and then see how it goes. I assume you run anti-virus program. If you run a firewall disable it and see if there is any performance improvement.

The tracerout (tracert) will allow you to see where the bottlekneck is.

That's a lot of simultaneous sessions going (1194) - and it's not even busy right now. This is a very popular and therefore busy site fellas....

With the effort David put in with the new code and the new super duper server I no longer have issues with this site like I was having. All very quick now even with over 1000 users.

We have 5 different monitoring servers running on different ISP around the country and since the new server was installed 2 weeks ago we have only reported a handfull of issues with performance and these were always related to me doing large database batch updates - I did one lot on Friday night at 11PM WST. However we have never had a server performance issue of > 4 secs turn around since the new server.

As suggested above run a traceroute (Windows OS - tracert www.exploroz.comfrom the cmd promt) and look at the timing that is returned. It will show you the router or service provider that is producing the bottleneck. If you are able to send me the traceroute command outputs that would help me also as I can then investigate. I an very sure that the latency is not be comming from our server however if it is a XYZ ISP link to the WebCentral network (and this does happen at times) I can pass the information onto the relevant bodies for action.

The ExplorOz server sits on a network infrastructure that contains multiple 1000MBps & 100MBps links for redundancy. The site is housed in Queensland at WedCentral Pty Ltd - Australia's Largest hosting company. Yes we do pass a lot of traffic across the machine and hence my investment in new servers the other week. However I believe I am covered in user acess till we hit around 3,000 concurrent users - I also have plan in place to get upto 10,000 concurrent sessions if the need arrises (this involves software chaanges that I have already started to write). I am in Perth using Bigpond broadband in our office so we have the west to east speed issue to get past also however reports from my site performance equipment (in my office) is always showing better that 2 sec response time.

So please pass on any reports you can gather as posts saying the system is slow mean nothing without the abiity for us to investigate. The easiest method for this is tracert as above.
