Sloooooow - Is It Just Me?

Post by mdmead »

This site has become painfully slow for me. It has never been a barn burner for first loading, but subsequent pages were always brought up fairly quickly. Now every page is painfully slooooooooooooow.

Yep, slow.

Never was a barn burner at loading.
In fact, AS.com loads faster than here almost all of the time.

Not good.

Still slow today for me.
If I was visiting for the first time, I probably won't be back because it is too slow. The info may be good but most people now a days won't wait.

EDIT
Took 3 minutes to post the above 3 lines.

the site was slow for me the other day as well, but tonight it seems fine. I suspect it was some kind of net congestion but I can check with the host to see if there were any issues with the servers.
