What's up with the long load times for fluther pages?

Asked by tigress3681 (892points) December 1st, 2010

Every time I click on a link in fluther, it takes a long while to load. Can fluther get a better server?

I’ve been having a real problem most of last few hours. I thought it was because two new users were logged on at my house and playing those RPG games.

I thought it was on my end. Happy to hear I’m not the only person with this problem.

I thought it was on my end too. It seems Fluther is having some minor technical difficulties that may or may not have anything to do with their servers. Let’s practice a little patience, slow down, take some deep breath’s…....It’s going to be allll right!

I don’t know, but it’s driving me crazy. I’ve sent messages to the tech guys… hope they aren’t sleeping!

It’s an issue for me too. I thought it was my internet being slow, but it’s only Fluther.

A good way to test whether it’s your internet connection or just the Fluther site being slow is to….<drum roll> go to a different website and compare load times.

It might help to run traceroute to pinpoint where the problem is. It is OK here.

Not sure what the hell happened here.

Things are pretty fucked now. I’m getting it where it never loads. Protip: Get shit working before your next meeting to sell.

Aha, I thought it was just me. It was like this for me most of yesterday, also. I just figured my computer needed a good cleaning. Good to know.

I am also having problems.

It’s been happening to me for days.

Alright, let’s not bash the site. 99.9% of the time I’ve been here, there has been no problem. So, I’m sure the guys are working quick on it. Be patient.

@marinelife Good, now go do your homework.

We’re currently working on this right now and trying to pin down the issue.

My wife is working upstairs; it is taking her 1 to 2 minutes to turn pages on her company’s ( VPN ) pages.

It’s not our connection—- 10.9 Mbps download and 0.82 Mbps upload. To a local server
