Sometime it is slow but then all the site are slow
Seems to be about the time people are getting to work in different time zones.
I have ATT Uversese, braoadband at time it is ATT's fault
The site is fine right snappy and fast. but it is 1830 her and and people on the far coast are getting ready for bed.

Wife wonders if I am or on Planet Earth.

What's your opinion on the performance of our site?
Where in the world are you?
Things seem snappy? Pages load quickly?
If you experience slowdowns, what time of day do they happen?
What type of connection are you on? Broadband? Dialup? Cellular? Satellite?

I'm in the heart of Silicon Valley on the Left Coast of the U.S.

Performance has always been fine for me. I'm normally on late at night left-coast time so the majority of the other users are likely sound asleep. I'm on right now earlier than normal and see 140 users (mostly guests) which I suspect is a light/reasonable load.

I'm using AT&T's semi-lame U-Verse with a download average speed of about 4.5 Mbps. Comcast would be much faster, but then I'd have to be a Comcast customer. :biggrin:

Hey Jeff, you're just asking because you are worried that the overwhelming number of participants in the Trivia Contest might crash your system right?

 

[seamus7227]

its workin down in the Falls!

UK, Wireless Broadband. Normally (above 95%) perfect. Can sometimes be a little slow or jerky around our busy local time 7pm ish. I'm sure any sluggishness is from our side, due to the time difference.

 

[MillerTurnings]

Howell, Mi
Charter cable
no problems noticed as of yet
I am a night owl, and usually log on after 12:30am. The site is working fine so far.
Now at 4:50 am, checking on snowstorm coming......

Thanks again Jeff for what you do!

 

[ALA]

I'm using broadband in South Central Va. and every thing works fine here. The only improvement, like others have mentioned, is to move from picture to picture without closing them. That would be great if it could be done. Thanks for a great sight and all the interest in keeping it that way!

 

[oldstoker]

West Australia,everything fine over here. On broadband.
Ditto with Michelle's pics...

Cheers Joe

No problems or complaints

 

[traderdon55]

Down here in the great state of Texas IAP works great, now if only IAP would take over Facebook and fix their problems.

 

[BRobbins629]

Richmond VA
Verizon FIOS
Firefox on PC, IPad, IPhone
Mostly fast - occasionally little slow but not annoyingly

 

[KBs Pensnmore]

I'm in Murray Bridge Australia, everything works great, on Broadband, and I run Windows 8. No complaints at all, excellent work by the moderators, Thanks Guys.

 

[lwalper]

Jeff, lately,the site runs beautifully during the day but after dinner, ....slow as molasses going uphill backwards in the wintertime. Slow to view different threads or load new posts...clicking on a show off your pens pic. Other sites load fine and quickly.

Thanks for all you do and having such a great place for us old kids to hang out!

Same here in middle Tennessee. In general, this forum is very good -- and actually a lot better than some forums. I think some of that has to do with the amount of extraneous ad images that load. Some forums load 100 pics, little vid and etc along the sides. You know that's gotta take bandwidth.

1.6Mb DSL here. Not the fastest in the industry, but generally works pretty well.
Google Chrome on PC

 

[Harley2001]

Dublin Ohio broadband everything has been good

 

[jaygeedubya]

-Broadband connection

 

[TonyL]

Excellent on all three ISPs; all laptops and mobile devices. I do run into a loading issue using Chrome about 5% of the time. Thank you for all that you do.

 

[TellicoTurning]

Are you on planet Earth? Then I'd like to hear from you!

What's your opinion on the performance of our site?

1. Where in the world are you?
2. Things seem snappy? Pages load quickly?
3. If you experience slowdowns, what time of day do they happen?
4. What type of connection are you on? Broadband? Dialup? Cellular? Satellite?

THANKS!!

1. East Tennessee - right up against the mountains
2. Everything works great, just as I expect it to.
3. No problems with the forum...
4. On DSL with phone company... using a Dell desktop that's over 10 years old.. still using XP operating system and Mozilla Firefox for search engine.

 

[NittanyLion]

Central PA and stuck with clunky Sattelite Internet as my only option. I use a Mac Pro, IPAd, and IPhone. This site loads faster than most and I have not experienced any of the problems recently reported. Performance is excellent.

 

[firewhatfire]

Central Alabama on Broadband works just fine

 

[asyler]

bryant , ar on comcast, i've not had problems with access or load speed

 

[Seer]

Phoenix az no issues here using Cox for now waiting for google fiber

 

[Pioneerpens]

Huntington, WV~all works quick and easy~ using broadband

 

[Kendallqn]

Phoenix az. Everything works great for me. Cox Internet

 

[designer]

North of Detroit. Comcast 50Mib d/l that checks to be 52 to 56 on speed tests consistently. Dual Xeon processor HP workstation with dual GPU. The only time it is slow to load is when Comcast has a problem and everything is slow to load. I do have to clear my online cache if things slow down. Firefox 35.0.1 set to a gig of cache. Clear it and everything is fine again...slaps forehead... No complaints on my end.

I know it is a ton of work, but the addition a a "Next" arrow would be nice eventually. How much time and the cost is more than most realize I think.

 

[Mrs. Charlie_W]

Where in the world are you? sterling, va
Things seem snappy? Pages load quickly? Not in the evenings- reminds me of dial up days
If you experience slowdowns, what time of day do they happen? Evenings after dinner time is when we see it begin.
What type of connection are you on? Broadband? Dialup? Cellular? Satellite? Verizon fios using iMac, iPad, MacBook Air

 

[Smitty37]

Milford DE, Comcast Xfinity Broadband via Google Chrome...hook-up is sometimes slow (probably because I'm using google) but movement within the site is usually fast.

 

[scottsheapens]

Lexington, SC. DSL through Time Warner. This site is fantastic. No technical issues, pages load fast. Appreciate all that you do to run such a fantastic site and service. Thanks

Jim

 

[Jeff turns]

I am in Michigan with Comcast and everything is super here. Thanks for the work you apply to make things the best

 

[oneleggimp]

1.Grosse Pointe Park, Michigan (A Suburb of Detroit)
2. pages Load reasonably quickly.
Some problems with trying to go to the second or third (or?) page and getting a "forbidden" message. Same thing sometimes happens when replying to a message. Also sometimes when I try to access this page (penturners.org) I get an "Apache Test Page powered by CentOS" page rather than the desired Penturners page. Somewhat aggravating.
3. Time of day (or night) doesn't seem to matter
4. DSL (AT&T)

 

[GaryMGg]

Space coast Florida, ZERO issues with the IAP site using a 4G wireless broadband connection.

 

[healeydays]

[jaeger]

Sioux Falls SD

Fast loading 99% of the time
1% Issue is probably when I'm getting to far away from the router and my phone is trying to switch to cellular.

Thanks for all you do!
