has this site gotten slow??

[hanson1999]

Has anyone else noticed how slow this site is since they redid the layout?? This has to be it all other sites i visit are still fast but this one is almost impossible, alot of the pages never do load....

And yes, i have very good high speed internet, and yes, i've tried on other computers!!

I had that problem yesterday. Two computers, each with both Firefox and Explorer. All combinations had problems. Only this site.

All the problems I have had have been because of my computer, not the internet connection or this site. Working well as we speak.

Working fine today. Yesterday was the only time. Last year the site did get slow when I was not logged in, but OK when logged in. Just logged out though to check and did not see a problem. Since back then I changed to automatically save the cookie when clearing them so I'm always logged in whenever accessing the site.

Slow now and again for me. A lot of things it could be when it comes to performance issues and requires analysis to pinpoint the cause.

I have noticed in the past month that it has been extremely slow for me. I have a T1 line at office and DSL at home and notice that it takes forever to load anything on this site. It took me a minute and 10 seconds just to pull up this thread!!!!!
Now once I am in the site, Today I can go through threads in 6 seconds. It is just getting in that seems to be problem for me.

There wasn't really anything we did with the design that would cause slow loading, especially on fast connections. Once the layout elements (css, javascript, html) are loaded once, your browser puts them in cache and future pages load them instantly.

There could possibly be issues with a page hanging while waiting for an ad server to load; some things to think about include:

- Do you have any firewall or privacy settings that block third party scripting? (Merely blocking it would just make ads not display, such as with firefox's noscript add-on. This should not cause slow loading).

- Do you have anti-virus software installed on your computer? How does it handle web pages?

- In order to test if the problem is related to advertisement display, you can install noscript for firefox, which will block all scripts by default (you can allow them on a case-by-case basis or site-by-site basis).

- How do the TractorByNet.com home page, reviews and other sections load? Are slow loading pages limited to the forums? If so, which pages?

- When a page loads slowly, check all the way at the bottom for the page generation time. It will look like this: Page generated in 0.08217 seconds

- If multiple computers have the same problems, we generally start to look at ISP routing and issues that occur somewhere between your ISP and our server.
