Neowin access slowed to a crawl...


Recommended Posts

Site loads at a medium pace for me but I still only get image placeholders instead of the actual images. Thanks for working on getting this problem fixed. You guys rule!

This is because the images are accessed through port 81. A firewall is probably blocking port 81

um... why? A lot of us (like myself) don't have access to port 81, what's wrong with port 80 if you've got it?

Because the normal pages are served by Apache on port 80 and the images by another http server. They can't both run on port 80.

I'll try to figure something out. I just wanted to test if this increases speed and lowers the load, and it does.

they could if they were on different ip addresses - why not put all the images on say images.neowin.net (different IP, same machine). This would allow people that are behind corp firewalls that block most ports besides, 80, 433, etc...

I would imagine it is a bit of a problem using port 81, As a lot of firewalls that people cannot access will block this. You could put it on another standard port like 21 or something?
