RE: WHY IS SITE SO FRICKING SLOOOOO - 2/25/2008 7:21:19 PM    vipersforsale Posts: 1011 Joined: 5/6/2004 Status: offline I am on other forums and other pages with far more data loading than this one and I have the same issue with the pages... the top frame loads fast, then the area with the different threads load and then the ads... its all the additional adds that are slowing the pages down... all of the forum pages. Ebay has been doing the same thing ever since they overloaded it with all of the little ads everywhere. In fact the only two sites I really have the issue with is this one and eBay. Pretty much all the other sites I visit are pretty darn fast and I am using the 6+att pro dsl. I can have 4 computers and my PS3 going all at the same time and I have no bandwidth issues. I think alot of it has to do with most ads not being just simple animated gifs anymore, they are scripting of some sort. **add** Or worse is that they might still be gifs but they are having to be loaded from more than one page away, so we have to wait for the ads to load from google, which pulls them from somewhere else. And being that they are placed somewhere up in the page it stalls in loading the data we want to see while waiting to pull down the ads first. < Message edited by vipersforsale -- 2/25/2008 7:29:10 PM > _____________________________ (in reply to HankL) Post #: 31

What has changed now from what it was say... at the end of last year or so? When it did load faster? _____________________________ (in reply to BadStratRT) Post #: 33

Florida Status: offline quote: ORIGINAL: BadStratRT quote: ORIGINAL: MikeHTally Just as slow with FireFox. I'm guessing it's the time it takes the moderators to read the posts and apply their censorship. Was this intended to be some sort of joke? Not at all. I posted an example of a much-faster site and the name was censored. No other forum site I visit is as slow as this one. I applied some "tweaks" mentioned in another thread and they worked pretty well -- except for here. Obviously I'm not the only one having the problem... There are many threads with the same subject. It isn't reasonable to ask users to change settings or spend time running "traceroutes" just to fix the one problem. (in reply to BadStratRT) Post #: 34

With all due respect, I disagree. This site has been by far the slowest of any site I have ever visited, and I timed out frequently. Been happening as long as I have been here. I noticed that the url at the bottom when hanging up was always pagead2.googlesyndication. So I googled that term and found that if you download the extension AdblockPlus in Firefox, it prevents all the Google syndication banners. Now the site is very fast. I have found this to work on three different computers, with DSL, wireless, and cable access. All were slow before, all are fast now. Googlesyndication is a major loading delay. _____________________________ 2003 Ram 1500 Sport 4.7L 5-Speed 2 Wheel Drive 3.92 LSD Dynomax Ultra Flow Cat Back, AEM Brute Force CAI, Superchips Tune.
