Geezergamer web page

[Bryan_506]

For some reason the old page took forever to load, and now this page is taking forever to load

I am having no issues with any other site

When I select geezergamer from my bookmarks it literally takes 30 to 60 seconds to load on a good day. Today, to post this, it must have taken at least 120-150 seconds before something came up.

You're doing it wrong.

Just a guess.



Someone who is actually helpful will be along shortly.

I'm not one to answer this, but I did experience this a while back, and it just kind of stopped happening after awhile. The experts might be of more help, so I'll let them give you an answer, but a question that might fall along these lines is whether or not you allow cookies and what not. I think that's what fixed it for me. Also, what browser are you using out of curiosity?

[Bryan_506]

I use firefox the most but also use IE ... using most recent versions for both. Cookies I allow from originators, no third party.
It also doesnt matter which computer I use, desktop or laptop. Have 5 computers in the house on my network.

Just seems odd that geezergamer site is slow but no other site is slow.

the site's increased level of awesome is hard to fit into bandwidth for most ISPs




sorry...I'm not very helpful....this is already a know fact though

I have noticed my CPU usage tends to climb even if I just leave the site open for a while. I can't use IE, as it will drag my computer into the dirt; I use Chrome, and I still have CPU issues.

This is only on Windows 7 though. I have the Windows 8 preview, and IE runs the site fine; so I think I just installed too much crap on Win7....

Thanks for letting us know Bryan.

While I'm surprized at the 30 to 60 seconds on a good day, I've been seeing the 120-150 quite a bit. I have the feeling it has to do with the mysql db that the site runs on and how that is handled at the ISP we host at, like how much load it can take and how many simultaneous connections it can handle.

What I suspect it really boils down to is that this is a small site paid for by the founders, out of their own pockets when the donations don't cover costs.

Not that this is helpful but the site has run well for me since the upgrade to vB. If the site is hosted on a shared server that could be the part of the issue because load caused by other sites would effect this one.
