Why is the site taking soooo long to respond to my clicks tonight?

Or has my dastardly dh tampered with it?

Thanks for the numbers Twiglett - as I mentioned before, specifics do help.

First thing to remember is that "not a peak time" doesn't mean necessarily that the server isn't busy. There are things it has to, for example, indexing, that don't relate to the number of members that are using it at that moment. In fact, we deliberately do those things at non peak times. That being said, the server wasn't very busy at 11:52.

I've just tried loading this thread repeatedly (about 20 times), on two completely different networks in two different locations, and it takes about 3 seconds or so.

Try it again and if it is still 90 seconds let me know and I'll investigate further what could be causing your particular slow down.

it is 11.51 in the morning .. not a peak time .. still slow to load threads .. took about 90 seconds (sorry wasn't timing) to load this particular thread on an 8mg broadband connection

Twiglett · 10/09/2008 11:51

I'm sorry but 'it's slow because it's busy'?

yeah ... not buying it

lizziemun · 10/09/2008 08:32

Oh I Blamed dh yesterday for it being so slow (i kept getting timed out).

Mind you he did take the blame as he was downloading something .

As we said before, for thems that missed it, it's slow because it's busy.

"That's 3 minutes from clicking on the thread title in Active Convos to my post going through, I might actually have to go and do some work instead (right, clicking Post at 21:39)"

Specific timings are useful so this is interesting. However, I can't quite make sense of it. What took 3 minutes? Clicking on Active Convos to your post going through seems an odd thing to measure; surely that would include typing your post? Also, your previous message to this one is only 2 minutes before?

DoNotAnnoy · 09/09/2008 21:51

It is slow again.

They blamed us last time...you know the users

So who's searching what tonight???

I think we should just get teh Techs in a line on excerise bikes hooked up to the MN server to give it that umph it needs between 6pm and 10pm.

Wad'ya think?

SlartyBartFast · 09/09/2008 21:21

mumsnet is in overload.
