site too slow

[Bane]

Don't know why this site takes so long to load, tired of it and won't be back.

Great first post.

 

[Bane]

Been lurking for a while, and it's getting slower and not worth waiting. The info and the people are great, but come on guys this is getting stupid.

 

[Jagmandave]

Might not be the site's fault, sometimes there's soemthing going on on the net and it affects a site.....

I've noticed it too lately.

 

[lilredex]

Hang in there, it is slow and irregular here too. Consider that it is Sunday and it's probably time for an oil change and grease job..........will correct itself!!

 

[Sureshot]

Seems ok to me. Have you cleaned the spyware, drives and defragged lately?

 

[fatboy99]

Slow as hell for me and has been off and on for week's. I'm usually on when I get home after work After midnight.Cleared history,cookies and such no change!!

 

[Sureshot]

I run CCleaner on mine regularly. Is free download. I also use SuperAntiSpyware which is also free. An occasional defrag maay also help. I use MyDefrag, also free but Windows has one. I have seen amazing results with CCleaner on other peoples bogged down systems.

 

[mbatarga]

yep - slow

 

[pattenp]

This site has gotten very slow over the last week. I don't have any issues with other sites that I visit regularly.

 

[gatewaysysop]

I will chime in as well, I have felt a considerable slow down as of late, seems especially bad tonight for some reason. It is very frustrating at times.

 

[Thedroid]

Me too. My internet service rocks, and is extremely fast on the other sites I frequent. When GJ loads, the blue bar moves about 10% then stops, and after a long pause, finishes loading. Started about 2 weeks ago or so for me also.

 

[SCscoutguy]

Yea the site has been running extremely slow for me the past few days. Glad to see I am not the only one.

 

[fastbroshi]

+1 I agree

 

[94yj]

very slow for me too

 

[tinbender 66]

Same here.

 

[Sage55]

I've not experienced any issues yet but I can see why others might be having issues...

I've also tried to Ping garagejournal.com and all four ping times where high 50's to low 60ms times.

Not sure what hosting package this site has with Cyber Wurx, but it might be time to upgrade.

 

[Frank The Plumber]

Slow...but you ain't got rid of me yet. Hahahahahahaha.

 

[Toolman12]

A little slow at times but well worth the wait

Vaya con Dios.

 

[HOTFR8]

I see no point in telling him it may be his own computer and not the site seeing he has not been back.

 

[Sage55]

Extremely slow this morning. Lots of time out errors as well. Hope the admin can fix this soon.

 

[trbomax]

It has been getting slower for a couple weeks now. I have ahard time posting pics,it takes up to 6 tries sometimes. Dont have any issues with other sites,so the problem has to be on his end.

 

[NASTYZEN]

Slowness experienced here to.
Annoying yes, but not slow enough for me to go though.

 

[HOTFR8]

I see no point in telling him it may be his own computer and not the site seeing he has not been back.

Delete COOKIES on your own computers and see if that fixes your problem.

 

[impactims]

Sometimes it takes FOREVER to load a page and other times it is not so slow at all. Not sure why it is inconsistant.

Same here. sometimes it loads just fine other times it is so slow I just go browse another site for a bit then come back here and it is nice and fast again

 

[geologist]

I suspect there is an SQL database issue behind the occasional slowness.

 

[gatewaysysop]

Been pretty bad today, or at least this evening so far. I realize traffic may be up on account of the holiday and all, but still, worse than I expected on here and compared with other sites. Kind of a bummer.

 

[Ryan]

I'm working on a Hardware upgrade next month.

 

[68-camaro]

Thanks Ryan, I'am not ready to give up yet. Thanks to everyone on GargeJournal! I appreciate your hard work.

 

[Brentocool]

Lots of people on here now there not working over the holidays But I just defragged also. Thanks for the remider!!!

 

[internetdude]

I'm working on a Hardware upgrade next month.

I'm not sure if you did anything lately but the site is definitely faster for me today... I can't wait for the upgrade next month, this is definitely one of the slowest forums I visit. Well today is good

 

[socapots]

ive been on daily for the week.. and last week..
and its been pretty damn fast. But i have not experienced the slowness that i can remember.

For the last month, I thought it may have got a little slower than normal, but I figured it was time to do some updates and cleaning on my computer.

This forum has the best people in it that I have ever been a member of. Just a thought you may think of before you rant away.

 

[Ryan]

I'm actually working on this right now.

 

[slip knot]

I'm still running a bit slower than normal. Good to see the admins on it! thanks guys.

 

[donnie m]

hahahaha! sooooo slow i couldn'e get the 2nd page to load but i'm here to stay !

 

[Steevo]

I have been frustrated enough to leave and go visit my #2 site several times in the past couple of weeks. Not my ISP, as the other sites pop right up when I give up and leave GJ.

 

[Bull]

Yeah, it's been slow for me for some time. It took about a full minute for my request to ban a spammer to go through earlier tonight.
