Site running very slowly

[Sophie 24,412]

The site is running very slowly for me but on and off. Pages take ages to load and then the site will suddenly "wake up" isup.me frequently reports peefans.com as down.

Just wanted to bring this to your attention @Admin

I have felt that this site has been very slow about bringing up pages like every where I go.  Picture, Messenger.

I agree this site is running very slowly and it's also been running slowly for me too.

Has this been rectified? The only problem I have is waiting for the home page to load, but it's only about 10 - 15 seconds, once I'm in, everything works fine.

I'm wondering if the slow home page is related to the chatbox. It seems like element is what takes the longest to load.

I have noticed that at times today the site has been running a bit slow. When switching from page to page I took to the habit of having the site open in two separate tabs so that whilst one was taking it's time moving from one page to the other, I was able to view a different page in the other tab.

Obviously, the delay can be long enough to be an irritant when you feel the need to do things like that.

Is this still the same for everyone?

From my end, I experience what Scot_Lover described; the load time of the home page is currency excessive, an estimated 7-10 seconds at times, which is something I'll work on. Indeed the chatbox is a contribution to this, but I'm hopeful I can drastically cut load time with some tweaks. For me the rest of the site seems fine, but if other people are still having problems I'll take a look. If you notice any specific times/pages where the speed drops, that would be very useful.

 

[Admin 14,791]

Could anyone please confirm what the site speed is like for you?

I've been working to reduce load times as much as possible.

[nopjans 1,178]

The site has been much faster for me over the last week or so. I believe your efforts to improve load times are paying off. 

 

The login page still seems a bit slow. Is there a reason there is not a login widget on the main screen?

Glad to hear it - the page speed testers vary, but the consensus seems to be the site is now faster. Please do keep me updated if that changes for anyone.

As for the login part, I assumed most members would stay logged in (as I do myself), so hadn't really considered it as an issue. I can look into adding a login widget to the home page, though. 

[nopjans 1,178]

Ah. Since family sometimes use my laptop and iPad  I always visit the site with the browser in private mode to keep it out of the browser history, so need to log in fresh each time. 

[Admin 14,791]

Could someone please confirm the site speeds lately? Just want to check the speed issues have been fully dealt with.

I just clicked on this thread and it took 25 seconds to get here.

[bpb 788]

Just to check on on what seems exceptionally slow.

I clicked on Woman's bare bottoms.   It took 2 min and 10 sec to give me the page.  I has asked that it give me the first unread message, but it just left me on an early page.  I had to skip down to the bottom to find the only unread set.

Woman's bare bottoms always seem more slow that most.

It still took 25 seconds to get this page again.

That is extremely slow. Some threads you would expect to have longer loading times when filled with HD pictures, but nowhere near that time. 

I have experienced some slowness, but more like 5-10 seconds. What are your internet speeds usually like? 

I am struggling to see what else could be causing this.

[bpb 788]

I don't have any figures for my internet speed.  However, I don't notice what I would consider undue delay.

Compared to other sites you browse, is PeeFans extremely slow in comparison, or relatively similar?

[Sophie 24,412]

My speeds have been more or less fine since the chatbox was removed from the homepage. The only time I ever really have an issue is when I edit my post. It takes a few seconds to save.

[Admin 14,791]

Anyone who was experiencing slow speeds should now be feeling the site running faster. Please do keep me updated if that isn't the case.

[Admin 14,791]

Will take the lack of response to that as a positive, and that speeds are reasonably good for everyone now? 

[Sophie 24,412]

No problems here :)

I did have a couple of times today when the site "Crashed"  Kept getting a Error page..site would not load. Then in a few minutes it would work again.

Same here. I'm working on it, and it should be fully resolved in the next few days. If it does happen in the meantime, just reload in about 20 seconds. 

[Admin 14,791]

How are speeds looking for everyone now? And has anyone had any of those internal server errors in the last few days?

Should all be fine now...
