LQ slows down every few hours. Logging out solves the problem.

damgar · 05-12-2010, 05:27 PM

I'm posting this to see if others are noticing the same problem. For the last week or so, I've found that page loads get very slow (5 - 10 seconds after clicking a link, or posting) after few hours. I've found that logging out, which clears the cookies then logging back in fixes the issue. I'm not sure if this is an LQ issue or a local issue. It happens in Firefox 3.6.3 as well as google-chrome.

Try it with seamonkey. http:/www.seamonkey-project.org

Ive noticed recently that I get logged out a lot more then I used to. It seams to have cleared up recently tho.

I am experiencing the same problem of slowness right now.

LQ Spy never slows down, but if i click on any other link the web page keeps me waiting for quite a period of time before it loads properly.

Using firefox-3.6.3

We monitor site performance from many locations across the globe and I'm not seeing any aberrant behavior recently. If you experience a slowdown, please post to this thread with the exact time, page load speed, geographic location, browser you're using and any other info you feel might be relevant. With good data I'll be able to look into this further. Thanks.

How i am supposed to know the page load speed ?
and by geographic location, what should i specify ? Country and state ?
or you want some other details ?

"Slow" just isn't enough information to troubleshoot. Many addons will give you the precise time, but if you don't have one installed then a close estimate is fine (ie. is it 1 second, 10 seconds, a minute).

Country and state is enough information. If there are any members who would prefer to keep all or some of this information out of the forums, feel free to send it to me offline.

Thanks.

Same problem here now.
Slow = > 30 seconds.

damgar · 05-15-2010, 10:48 AM

Happening in dallas, tx about 5 minutes ago. Speedtest showed I was at 7.5Mb/s, but page loads took about 9 seconds, which is slow on this machine which is normally instant. I left LQ and came back and problem went away. I didn't log out.

I'm trying to run without caching in FF to see if that helps. I have no add-ons installed. Only plugin is flashplayer.

Dallas is actually the location of one of our performance testing sites and the slowest response for an LQ thread page load over the last hour is 440ms. What URI is this happening for?

What do you mean?

jeremy · 05-15-2010, 11:00 AM

Is there a specific URL that is loading slowly? All LQ URI's? A recognizable pattern of URI's (such as all searches, but no other LQ pages)?

It happens when following links such as from LQ spy, or from the forums page to the specific forums, or from inside a forum to a specific thread.

EDIT:

Also when submitting a reply when returning to the thread.

jeremy · 05-15-2010, 11:26 AM

In that case it's almost certainly something between you and LQ, which will unfortunately likely be very difficult to track down.
