Same here, yesterday and today.
Not a browser issue as it is the same with them all.
Like you I'm in the UK, wonder if that is the problem.

No, I didn't miss it in post 4 but j.m.reid doesn't have a country designation.
Just making sure he's not in a different part of the world. ;D

Since I'm not a mind reader and you have no country designation, Glasses aren't the problem.

I see that. :)

No problem here in Canada. :)
Title: Re: Slow to load
Post by: DavidR on August 08, 2011, 02:16:17 PM: This has been a long intermittent problem in the forums. However since the forum was put on its own server earlier this year it hasn't been a problem.

However, recently I have times when the loading of pages in the forums has been slow and despite what the Page creation time being reasonable (the time for the SQL query for all elements of the page), that doesn't bear any resemblance to the actual page loading time.

Well, as you are also in UK, it may be related somehow.
Title: Re: Slow to load
Post by: DavidR on August 08, 2011, 02:37:14 PM: Well I rather doubt that as the server is located in Germany, so those in the USA in theory should have a greater problem.

See trace route from the German forum server to the UK http://www.wipmania.com/en/trace/178.63.99.109/?point=21&ff= (http://www.wipmania.com/en/trace/178.63.99.109/?point=21&ff=).

I agree and wonder (even more) why only UK users report problems atm...??
I get a clear ping.

But on another server. ;)
Title: Re: Slow to load
Post by: DavidR on August 08, 2011, 04:03:06 PM: Not to mention pings really aren't the same thing at all, a whole 32bytes of data.

My ping rates to the German server are fine, but that means very little in relation to the page loading (not creation) times.

Looking at my first image it shows one IP address and +1, so it may be that the +1 is another server located in the USA. If this is correct it could account for the differences, but I have no idea how they would synchronise/mirror these servers or if this mirroring would have any impact.

You don't need to be a mind reader, I did state in my first post in the thread that I'm in the UK. Though I prefer to state that I'm from Scotland rather than the UK.

Title: Re: Slow to load
Post by: DavidR on August 08, 2011, 06:01:57 PM: I wouldn't have though so when the server is in Germany as in my images above., certainly the one I'm rooted to.

It could indeed have something to do with that, but I would be guessing too.
