Slow site?

Is it only me?
Or anyone else is having slow response to open any page of this great site?
I have this slowness since 2 weeks and I have the best speed available on my country: 4mb (You guys with super fast connections don´t laugh)

It's been a little slow for me from time to time, but nothing major, pages always load.
P.S. I have a 2Mb cable line at home
Dave

its ok for me
are you guys talking mega bytes or mega bits
ive got 7.2 megabits

It loads slowly trying to login and opening up a forum. Other than that it seems good. According to speedtest 25 megabits from work

It's been pretty quick for me lately. In fact, it's been better, since I no longer seem to get HTTP 5xx Server errors anymore. Speedtest.net says about 5 mbps from home over type N Wi-Fi.

@orb: Did not notice any speed difference myselft either. BTW I have a dialup connection using a USB modem . normally any page opens within 2-4 seconds (Always, should be more appropriate). Could it be that your firewall or router acting itchy?

Thanks for your reply
No it was not any firewall or router...
It happens randomly form time to time now is ok
Cheers,

I've noticed this too over the last few weeks, both at home >1.5Mb connection and even at work where the connection is 100Mb
May I add; nearly every morning about 01:30Hrs the site becomes unreachable for about 3mins. Though this may be due to backups

Forums been very slow for me. 15 seconds to just load the reply page.

The current problem discussion is here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=510704

Yes, although not for weeks, bust for last 3 days, I am getting pathetically low speeds while opening pages here at New Delhi, India. Its taking around 15-70 seconds to open a page. I am on a 256 kbps line and all the other websites are working absolutely fine. Torrents are even giving 37-40 KBps / 296-320 Kbps (theoratically not possible on my connection )
But its a lot better today. I am getting pages in 3-5 seconds at the moment. I have also noticed that when its night here in India, pages start opening slow. I guess the other side of the globe is more active at that time

The site's up and running at full speed now. The admins fixed the problem around midnight (BST) last night.

the site is popular

Time to look into cachefly. It is a great option to server balance without the need for additional servers. Someone at the top should go check it out and see if it would fulfill any needs for XDA. It is worth the look after all, ad banners generate faster with more pageloads...
FYI, for me the site is painfully slow. The initial html loads fine but anything needing the forum database is at a crawl.
Love the site, thank you admins and all helpers!

im on here all the time i have a 8mgb connection and its slow from other conenctions also... not always i guess when the site gets overloaded, i wish we could update the bandwidth or w.e is causing this for the site

I still get a slow site.... when browsing the forum it takes a few secs (5-10) to open a page... and it only happens on this site
i have a 16Mb connection!
Deiota

It's slow for me also.
I have 8.89 Mbps download speed, and the XDA site is really slow today. I've noticed the page transitions were slow the past several times I have gotten on the web site, but today is the slowest I've seen so far.

for some reason it seems to be running like a turtle today...

Same here
Perhaps we are now too many users?!

I was getting 500 Internal Server errors on the home page earlier when the forums would not load for me.

Office Programs take more than 1 minute to load

Is anyone else having this issue yet? I have asked this on the rom development page and it seems that I may be the only one experincing this.
I have NRG's 10\28 rom loaded and I have removed many of my installed programs and I can not get the Office programs to load quickly. I have Nrg's rom 10\17 or so loaded on my wife's phone but hers doesnt seem to be doing this.
I am suspecting that it is something that I am installing that is doing this but I am not sure.
I have even downloaded the office 2010 beta today and it stil does it.
It does stop doing it for about a half a day if I reboot many times till it behaves, but then after about a half a day, it is back to taking more than 60 seconds to open word or excell, then about 20 ot 25 seconds to close it.
Any ideas??
Thank you all for looking at this.
Jeff

Takes no more than a few seconds max on my Tilt 2, I don't know man.

Same porb here, i dont think its a ROM issue as it did the same thing on most of the roms i flash. i just thought i was a WM thingi, and the worst part is it takes near 10 sec to open a NEW word doc..

Finally, someone else is also having this issue.
I have a slightly older version of the Energy rom on my wife's phone and hers is always fast to open.
I have been uninstalling programs one by one to see if one of them is affecting it.
What I have found is that as I install a couple, it will start working good, then a a few hours later, it goes to 1 min to open again.
And I am not even opening a file, just click on the excell icon, so that eliminates the bad file thing.
I will let you know what I find.
So do you have many apps installed? I have a lot, to many to mention here at this time, but if you only have a few, please list them and I will see if there are any in common between us.
Thanks,
Jeff

I had this problem on my AT&T Tilt 1 a long time ago. I was able to isolate the cause of the problem to sending/receiving Email over mobile data (wouldn't happen if the update was via wifi). Unfortunately the only thing that solved my problem was a hard reset .

interesting you mentioned wifi, i just observed today that it does not take a long time to open when i am on wifi, then i switched to no wifi, and it was taking lont time to open excel.
turned wifi back on and sure enough, excell opened quickly.
i then turnrd off my wifi network plugin, (disabled my map network drive) and now it seems to be opening excell just fine reguardless of wifi or not.
i will continue to test this ane report back.

Office Mobile looks for any files of the appropriate type (e.g., *.doc files for Word) on your device to open prior to loading. Before reading this last comment I was going to suggest removing your storage card, but if you have network drives mapped it's probably attempting to reach those while loading but timing out if they're not available.

So as long as I dont have my "enable Network Folder" clicked on the HTC's Network Plugin, it all works good. As soon as I click that, and enable the network folder, then it takes forever to open office unless I have the wifi turned on.
Man I have been fighting this for months, not sure if it was a rom thing or something that I was intalling.
I hope that others who have this issue can find this post and fix thier stuff too.
Here some searchable key words, pleae add if I am missing:
Office Microsoft Excell Word forever long time

ALL Uploads drop off / fail while tethered!! >:(

GRRR!! This is really starting to bug me!! The problem began about 6 months ago when I still had the good ol' original Tilt. I'll begin uploading, let's say, a photo. A single photo. Any size, doesn't matter. It begins uploading fine but will ALWAYS, suddenly and for no apparent reason, stop uploading. I have no idea why!
Obviously it's not a rom issue since this problem has followed me from phone to phone. I've flashed 3 or 4 separate roms on the Tilt 2 and experienced the problem with every one of them. Even the stock rom!!!
I've tried installing the cabs for removing the hidden AT&t proxies and whatnot, but it's no help.
I can't even run a speed test!! On speedtest.net it flys through the download portion at about 1.9 Mbps, the upload hits 0.81 consistently, but once the progress gets to 99% it of course stops uploading. And the speed begins to fall as the test continues running without any upload traffic.
I've tried letting it sit overnight while I slept, hoping maybe it was just hiccups in the connection or some other kind of illogical nonsense. But sure enough, I wake up and it's at the same spot it was when I left it.
I also thought it may have been that my account was somehow flagged by AT&T for too much data use, since I don't actually pay for the tethering. But I've been told MOST WinMo users don't pay for their tethering and none have had this problem? Nonetheless, I even went so far as to CLOSE MY ACCOUNT AND OPEN A NEW ONE!! Still no luck.
Uploads work great phoneside... quick, reliable... but as soon as it's connected to the computer I can't do SH8T!!!
Not through Bluetooth
Not through WiFi sharing
Not through USB
So I pray to you, the infinitely wise Gods of XDA. Please! Hear my prayers and guide me to the answer I seek!

no one knows what might cause this problem?

I don't really know why it is causing that problem. I did a quick search and many people complain about the same thing. But also I read a lot of positive responses about a few programs that help you tether. You could always try it and see if it helps.

XDA **VERY** slow loading

Hi, i'm facing a really annoying problem.
My browser takes ages to load a page. I mean, the top div gets loaded very fast (as you expect) but the rest takes about 1 minute or more to load the rest of the page.
I have this strange problem only if working in my notebook. With my mobile everything works like a charm.
Is someone in the same situation?
Is XDA doing some maintenance stuff or something?
Thanks

Was having this issue yesterday during work but today it seems to be gone. Could have been an issue with something down the line (DNS, regional routing, whatever) that just caused a temporary slow down.
Short answer is no you aren't alone. Should be gone by now or soon.

I hope so, thanks

i have the same problem

I think I found a solution (even if it is not absolute).
Go to you profile page and set the sytle (at the bottom of the page) at xda classic
Now try to navigate... it is as fast as it should be.
At least, it is for me!

Yesterday in particular the site was slow because we had processed some upgrades that didn't go quite right. Things should be good now.

Thanks for the reply.
I'm still having the problem.
However, I tries my "solution" on another machine, and it works too.
If it can help other user, you can add to FAQ main page.
I hope it's only a matter of time as the 2010 theme is really pretty. The classic one is just a little bit... old-fashioned.

so many background scripts running, because too much function and too much rules.
post limit to access certain service, wth....
i got bugs to inform the developer but ending to make several useless posts here first.
xD
If xda very slow, be patient!

works well for me

I think i didn't get your point...
I just tried to understand what is happening here...
I also found out that changing theme speed-up the loading process, and i want to share this with other user that are having these same issue... if you want to wait ages to check a page you are free to do so, but please leave other do what they prefer!!

It occurred to me quite often in the last months but, probably, I was "great" enough to decide loading xda when they perform the maintenance of the forum...

Today i noticed a very slow loading here...
I checked my ping and noticed that everytime i open XDA my ping goes from 20ms to 1500-2000, even after not loading any threads and leaving the PC alone for many minutes. When i close XDA, ping goes down to normal.
Please fix it. Maybe some buggy ads or something else.

I think it's media.xda-forum-com... My browsers goes stuck right there.

also cdn.viglink.com is blocking for a long time
Can you please fix it?

Fix available (at least for me):
change DNS in your router config to the ones offered by opendns...
Now everything works like a charm.

i shouldn't have posted this here! just notice what section I was in (found this thread in a search)

i'm using ie9 and when i post a reply(not quick reply) and I try to click my mouse pointer in between letters of the words I type, the mouse pointer is not displayed.

XDA FORUMS - slow loading speeds

It's been for quiet some time now. Opening threads, sub forums, new threads, anything really, all have relatively slow loading speeds compared to other websites. Up to 5 seconds for opening a forum gets annoying... Is this only me?? I have a 200 Mbps down / 20 Mbps up connection and only experience slow loading times on xda forums..

It's very annoying indeed. It could be that they are trying to push the XDA Ad-Free. But, why would someone pay if the speeds here are slow incredibly slow.

Yep, we're having a few server issues at the moment, apologies for the slow load times.
The server nerds are busy working away trying to get things back in shape

I've noticed slow load times (Everywhere) ever since the switch to https. I quite regularly get timed out and these messages pop up in my console:

Actually, on the home page i have seen a massive increase in speed (Normal page loads are still a bit slow, but for a forum of this size i dont think it runs bad at all).
