jnelsoninjax Posted September 27, 2020 Share Posted September 27, 2020 For the last 2 days or so, I have been having really slow responses from some websites like reddit.com, I have flushed the DNS and checked other items (items that might be running in the background, and paused the AV), and can not figure out why I am having these issues. Is it the sites, or is it the ISP? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+BudMan MVC Posted September 27, 2020 MVC Share Posted September 27, 2020 Reddit has issues all the time you can check status here https://www.redditstatus.com/ Also they have links and images from all over the globe, so yeah its possible some of them are not as fast as others.. Dns would be cached both in your browser, on your OS and also at your router if your pointing it there.. Not sure what you think clearing cache on your OS would do to remove that cache? Its rare an issue that you have a bad entry in your cache, but slowness in resolving in general, and these days they love to use really short ttls.. So nothing cached very long any more.. ;; QUESTION SECTION: ;reddit.com. IN A ;; ANSWER SECTION: reddit.com. 300 IN A 151.101.1.140 reddit.com. 300 IN A 151.101.193.140 reddit.com. 300 IN A 151.101.129.140 reddit.com. 300 IN A 151.101.65.140 ;; AUTHORITY SECTION: reddit.com. 172800 IN NS ns-1029.awsdns-00.org. reddit.com. 172800 IN NS ns-1887.awsdns-43.co.uk. reddit.com. 172800 IN NS ns-378.awsdns-47.com. reddit.com. 172800 IN NS ns-557.awsdns-05.net. So you have a 5 min ttl, that is the max amount of time you can cache that anyway.. They will not change, but since they are using a roundrobin you could be using any one of those IPs that got handed to you. Your really going to have to be more specific in what you feel is not performing as it shoud.. The main page, when you click into some thread, try to open a picture - follow a link? Call up the web developers tools in FF and what is loading slow on the site? The network tab will show you what is taking long, compare that to how it was working before, etc. jnelsoninjax 1 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jnelsoninjax Posted September 27, 2020 Author Share Posted September 27, 2020 This is what I see when I go to the main page, notice that the subreddits that I am subscribed to are not showing. According to the network status of the dev tools, it is fully loaded in ~30 seconds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know you turned it off, but uninstalling is the only way to be sure. Unless it's webroot, then it just comes back on the reboot lol. We know Kaspersky was already effecting Firefox with your last issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+BudMan MVC Posted September 27, 2020 MVC Share Posted September 27, 2020 Clear you FF cache would be what I would do.. That is more a drawing issue of something it already had cached before I would assume than any sort of network issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joe User Posted September 28, 2020 Share Posted September 28, 2020 (edited) If you have DOH (DNS over HTTPS) running, turn it off. It's in network settings in Firefox. See if that helps. Also, clear caches in Firefox, don't use CCleaner to do it. Third party software can easily miss something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jnelsoninjax Posted September 28, 2020 Author Share Posted September 28, 2020 DNS is not the issue. I think that Reddit was the issue, because now it is loading just fine. Marujan 1 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
