Slow / Timeouts

cgarvey · 2008-04-07 15:57:44

Is there one machine of a cluster down, or something along those lines? One in every X requests are either very slow (up to 30-40 seconds for HTML to start loading) or timeout completely. X is undefined, but most requests are lightning fast. I'm on Digiweb Metro but tested from UK and US as well.

Yea I've been experiencing this problem as well. I initially put it down the fact I was on my work's wireless and not wired as I normally am.

ISP issue then. Im with Irish Broadband. Admittedly its running less than its brightest today but its not causing me any issues: it may just be peak time.

try running this application to test your speed: http://www.speedtest.net

Thanks for that.

I've bookmarked it for future reference. The pages are taking ages to load at the moment. At least now I know what's up.

Believe me, I am more than aware

It seems to have been mitigated for the moment, but can't consider it fixed because we haven't identified precisely what the problem is, just the symptoms.

I'll update the twitter page whenever I have something useful to report.

Sound as a pound.

As an aside, what name have you called the boards stuff? I sorta assumed it would be a female name?
