Site slow for anyone?

Thanks, that's the one. Other websites are working OK, just not ExOz. It even gives me error messages half the time when i go to the log in screen.

MH,

Can you tell me what does and does not work - even send me a few screen grabs or error message you get - I cannot look into it without knowing where to look?


----Everyone-----
I have heard of some shaped problems with ad networks and I would like to find out where the problems are so if this is happening to you please do not just complain on the forum send me some details so that we can work towards a real solution. I do not know if it is the ad network or anything else at this stage ecuase when I shaped my line I did not see any problems. please help me to help you and send me screen grabs of pages or error messages thanks.

Hi David

I can't do this as we are leaving shortly, and it was when on my son's computer with the shaping. Usually just failed to load ExOz at all (blank screen), or got forum but not fully loaded so couldn't use. Just all incredibly slow. Maybe someone else can help you solve this.

I am on the laptop now which is fine.

Thanks

Thanks David, what I experienced when shaped was the header at the top would show, but then the rest of the site would not...

I noticed it today when loading the site, the first thing you see is the header, then a short time latter the rest of the page is shown. Its the rest of the page that never comes up for me when shaped.

My details are
ISP Bigpond ADSL 512k shaped to 64k
I have tried IE7, Firefox & chrome...all do the same

Note that I also had issues with loading facebook using IE7 at the same time, thats why I loaded firefox on my computer. Firefox loaded facebook without issue.

I'm assuming that the remainder of the page below the header is dynamic & needs to be created on the fly by your web server, could this be the issue if there is a long time to download the header section before requesting the dynamic section?

Thanks

Richard,

The server should not give a rats about your performance and will be delivering the content regardless. I must confuss to be a little in the dark about this issue as the site works on dial up speeds - there are some largish script downloads that will happen just after the header is loaded though they should be cached and are still only about 120KB - it should be delivered even on shaped in a few seconds.

We had our service shapped a few months ago and the site worked fine - a litle slower across 5 machines on a shapped service however it worked none the less. I have changed our ad delivery platform to Sensis since this time and wonder if the ad server may have something to do with the issue.

I need to get to a system that is not working. If you get a chance when the page fails I need to get a copy of the view source page in email. This way I will be able to see if the html body has been delivered or not. If you were using Firefox and Firebug we could work out exaclty what is happening however this is a very technical task and not something I would ask anyone to do that does not know how all this works. However if you can email me a copy of the view source from a page that has failed to load that would be great (david@exploroz.com) - if not I will try to work out a test environment to see what happens.

Thats interesting that what you say about the ad server because because if I remember correctly the status bar was indicating that it was trying to download something with 'ad' in the url.....Is that done after the initial title bars are loaded? This may be the issue, since i would assume that these are random & not cacheable....so reloading the site would not help.

It is interesting that this error has also only shown up since switching ad server companies. Let me ask them about this issue and see what they come back with.

David

Yep no worries....I have loaded FIREBUG onto Firefox & performed a Net Panel analysis of the site...I can't seem to see any way to save the information, but since I'm no longer throttled it is working fine ofcourse....

The only thing I can do is repeat when I am throttled & see where it gets hung up.

I just got that error, when trying to go direct to thread from link in email notification of David's follow up!

My ISP recomended :-> www . ozspeedtest . com

so it would be reliable and I would delete those in my post above - if I could

My laptop result there and also at www . speedtest . net was 50KB/s
