andy2004 Posted January 12, 2004 Share Posted January 12, 2004 big hi to all u peeps of neowin wondering if u can help me here with a problem. Recently my daily visits to the neowin main page have become slower to load up. Im on a 512k broadband connection and newowin use to load up in 2 to 3 seconds now its 2:45am here in uk and its taken me 10 seconds to load up the main page sometimes taking 20 seconds. Im just wondering why ? ive done all the routine stuff of deleting temp files/folders , internet cache , run adaware etc all the thinghs i can think of and nothing has helped . Its been slow for me all last week mainly between 6pm and 2 am uk time. what happens is the page starts to load and i get the blue sidebar on the left hand side and the main page is blank just the background colour comes up. like i say it is now taking 10 to 20 seconds sometimes takes longer and i just leaave it till later. hope u can find out whats causing this :whistle: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snippet1 Posted January 12, 2004 Share Posted January 12, 2004 The only slow thing(s) I really find are the Ads. But since I turned my ad-blocker back on it's been quick :devil: :ninja:. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

john smith 1924 Veteran Posted January 12, 2004 Veteran Share Posted January 12, 2004 for me, the site has got a LOT slower over the last week or so- i think it has something to do with these weird text box ads we have @ the top of some of the pages.

calidude Posted January 13, 2004 Share Posted January 13, 2004 I have fast cable Internet and it (the site) lags when first opening threads. 2-4 second delay I'd say. Then it runs OK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keldyn Posted January 13, 2004 Share Posted January 13, 2004 The site is running great guys. Surely you must admit that it is nowhere near as bad as it use to be. Back then, neowin would be so slow I would often give up out of sheer frustration. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farchord Posted January 13, 2004 Share Posted January 13, 2004 Oddly, lately, when I visit Neowin with Mozilla, it loads the logo and the beginning of the page, but kinda freezes at one point, and at the bottom, in the status bar, it says: Connecting to adserv.bravenet.com.... And it takes about 2 mins for the page to finish loading... Is there something wrong with the Advertisement servers? Thanks!

hornett Posted January 13, 2004 Share Posted January 13, 2004 I get the same thing in Firebird. :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frease Posted January 13, 2004 Share Posted January 13, 2004 I am not seeing it even though I am using Firebird too. Maybe it's because I am using Proxomitron? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joel Posted January 13, 2004 Share Posted January 13, 2004 It takes longer than usual for me, but not 2 minutes. There is a noticeable delay, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farchord Posted January 13, 2004 Share Posted January 13, 2004 I am not seeing it even though I am using Firebird too. Maybe it's because I am using Proxomitron? And what does a proxomitron eat in winter? :cry: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
john smith 1924 Veteran Posted January 13, 2004 Veteran Share Posted January 13, 2004 sad to say it, but i've had to block neowin ads via adblock simply because it takes so long to load with these guys. *.bravenet.* - stops all content from bravenet even loading.

mipra Posted January 13, 2004 Share Posted January 13, 2004 it's speeding like hell..so..there should be no prob. However, your backbone might have some problem. Check with your ISP. Moreover, welcome to Neowin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
