Ad Blocking on this website?
-
I find this site – specifically the login – so slow that I'd stop using it (if I wasn't so addicted...
)
Login takes more than 10 seconds until the server responds, then it takes 3-4 more seconds for a rather useless notification (does phpBB still not use ajax for stuff like that?). I've tried profiling the site in the browser and although it loads 23 stylesheets and 12 scripts files, that seems not to be the problem, at least not on client side. -
Login can truly be slow, I have seen that myself, too occasionally. Currently it's not phpBB however that handles user and login info (as far as I am aware of the technical background) but Joomla.

I clicked 'Reply' and it took 1 minute 13 seconds for the reply page to load,on the bottom left of page it showed 'David laser' displayed for 42 seconds before 'Buy sell ads' taking 11 seconds then finally Sketchucation and page loaded eventually.
I did an Internet speed check just in case and it's not on my side, all other sites load instantly, I tested this site using IE and its instant, but Chrome with AdBocker off and trackers off it's painfully slow.

Using the same chrome setup you mention and while downloading a movie and connected to my server in Oslo from my wifi connection at home in Germany, the post a reply opens instantly.

Well been doing some checking and these are my result from Clovis NM USA- Sheffield England. Thing is while replying to post it will be fine on sec then I'm back to waiting like Pete on Chrome it stuck on sending request.
And Pete's got some pretty fast internet there
-
Just to show you it doesn't seem to be related to internet speed as such or my steam powered connection would be something of a problem.
-
Obviously internet speed has nothing to do with connection speed as I see.
I'm surprised at your speed Ben, I'd always thought that Europe has superior internet speeds, I did a test on my Samsung Galaxy 3 using 4G and got decent speeds I guess (I thought it was slow)
-
Problem for me Pete is I'm in former east Germany in a village that has only recently been able to get any sort of broadband. The infrastructure just couldn't cope with it. Although my house is only a twenty minute drive to the centre of Dresden the house next door doesn't have gas or a sewer connection. Things are changing here pretty fast but then again pretty fast is all relative.

again.. ditto for me.. slow login but everything else is snappy
[and my internet speed.. though i think it's already been established that this isn't part of the problem, posting your internet speed on the internet is required at least once a year.. so now i'm good til 2014
]
[off:1899mevl]edit-- and even more off topic….
i would think internet speeds would be better than that in nyc but i guess there are a bazillion connections happening around here which will put a damper on things..
this is the list of wifi networks i can see from my 5th floor apt in a strictly residential area.. probably gets even more congested in other parts of the city..
[/off:1899mevl] -
Here's my speed...
Here's my neighbourhood....
I don't suffer from wifi congestion
I do suffer from isolation though

that looks eerily similar to my mom's house.. she lives on the outskirts of this one-stoplight (literally) town(?)..

Stoplights? We don't even have streetlights...
-
.....and you tell the young people of today that and they don't believe you!

Sounds like a Monty Python skit

Indeed, the Four Yorkshireman, new version is very good too. Youtube will get you there.

Verryyy slooowwww with adblock off, takes over a minute to load pages, sorry this is a big problem folks.
-
No speed problems here. Less than 3 secs to load page.
There's a tool under Inspect Element in Chrome that allows you to view the load times of every item on a page. Or Dev Tool in IE, F12 I think.
If you can find the cause then maybe we can investigate.

This is what you get in Palm Springs , CA. mostly old copper lines but it's one of the nicer quieter places in SoCal.
I've noticed some of you Guys have blazing fast download-speeds but your Ping is way up?
-
Well, mine seems to be faster indeed - but I am not sure this should explain site slowness to that extent.

not after seeing pete's results.. his internet is way faster than anyone else here but he's experiencing a slow scf
