Site slow?

[Great White North Eh]

I'm dropping my browser off at the Ram dealer tomorrow, will let everyone know what they find out.

Not sure if they know how to put a shorter dip stick on that.

They'll need to keep it overnight, they won't find any problems, and you'll discover they've disconnected your dash cam.

This site is out of 3/36 warranty however the power train warranty is still intact, who’s gonna front the $100.00 deductible?

Why’s it so slow, hosted in someone’s basement? Generally with a half decent host that has a CDN, it’s a non issue.

I also find the ads crazy. Obv easier with a ad blocker. Is there a way to sponsor the site like with the TRX forums.

 

[SpeyRam]

yeah pages are on average really slow to load. 10 seconds on average for me for both mobile and PC.

Third world... although their internet is probably better

Not yet. Maybe some day.

It's slower than dial up. Literally. Not sure if the site is hosted on a Ti-83 calculator or if there's an issue in the coding, but the ads are obnoxious and the pages won't load for 10-20 seconds using Chrome.

Yea, we get it. The poking fun is getting a bit old though. It's probably a connections/bandwidth allocation issue as it was fine late last night (early AM).

As to the ads, that's the price of admission for a free site.

And just to clarify, I don't have anything to do with the admin or back end of the site. Best I can do is try to get the attention of the @Admin

Perhaps its just the mobile site but i don't have any excessive ads like most other forums do there is only 2 per page which is very reasonable

I architect IT solutions for a living - I'm offering my help to log in and take take a look / tune settings that should be able help. I'd suggest looking migrate from loading directly from server to something like cloudflare to help also.

I'm sure others have offered, and others in general in IT here - but thought I'd throw it out there.

I can ping hdrams.com with under 43ms.
Sounds like we got a memory leak or server.

 

[Brutal_HO]

I don't know if it was restarted. but I also cleared my cache and cookies (yea, I know lame recommendation) but it did seemed to improve after.

I don't mind ads and don't use an ad blocker because I get that. However there are ads and there are annoying ads. The big pop ups/scroll downs that cover a large chunk of the screen are likely part of what's slowing the site down for Chrome users. Regular banner ads, etc. are fine. Site seems to run normally when those are the only ads.

It's running ok today, but I think you're probably losing eyeballs when it's running like it was the past few days for many users.

 

[22BlackBigHorn]

Surprised this isn't just a Facebook group these days.
Much cheaper.

There are a ton of those, but they are just not the same.

I agree it's probably losing eyeballs. As I'm on here a lot even while I should be working, it's super frustrating.

Again, just a mod here and nothing I can do about any of it except whine to the admin/owner.
