xs = slowest site ever?

[W1zzard]

40 seconds for "what's new" ?
15 seconds for next page in new posts?
15 seconds between clicking submit and this post showing up

we need more ssds!

would be nice if i could take a "quick" look at xs again to see what's new

[Computurd]

yeah it is really bad. i spend so much time here, this is multiplying that. my wife is going to file for divorce it takes so much time to browse the past few weeks.

[RaZz!]

full ack.

just came here to open a new thread about it as well and i'm glad it's not just me (or my local ISP).

[Buckeye]

Yeah it is getting pretty bad

[badatgames18]

during my very short time here.. i've honestly gotten used to it.

it's slow but i just go on cnn or something and read while it loads

[RPGWiZaRD]

Yeah unfortunately lately XS has stood more for XtremelySlow.org/forums rather than the usual. Should be remembered how much traffic this site gets though so maintaining it might not be the easiest/cheapest either.

[malkiewicz]

I agree... Xtreme has become very slow on my end... Sometimes it take a min to load a screen..

[zsamz_]

i open all desired xs pages in tabs
go though my emails
then most pages ready to be read lol

[malkiewicz]

believe it or not / xtreme's working much faster with Internet Explorer (64 bit)...

[ScottALot]

On my end, it's not exactly slow... but the links take forever to even start loading. Like in Firefox, the tab shows a white circle loading for a long time, then it turns green for like a second, then it's loaded.

it's getting pretty nasty lately

We had two T1 lines go down on Thursday and the ISP has parts ordered, its been an issue as this ISP was plagued with problems now that we have gotten to know them.
We are using 100% of the bandwidth and plans for moving off this ISP are in the works.

[M.Beier]

GOod to hear something is happening, my thread about the respons times was removed a couple of days ago... It has been really nasty since Bulldozer launch

[dinos22]

that certainly explains the recent slowdown, i've never really seen XS slow like some users complained in the past, figured it must be ISP or something

[Movieman]

working fine for me today..click whats new, bang open, no issues but it was slow for me last week.

Yep, it's getting better.

[st0ned]

XS wasn't slow slow, it was just a bit slower then 70% of the sites I used to visit. But latly it's really really slow, the slowest site I browse daily.

[Judaeus Apella]

Its maddening when you have a 30mbps connection and you're used to everything loading right away. I'm glad this is getting resolved soon.

[THX1138]

Seems fine to me now

I guess now's a good time to finally learn how T1 works

According to what I can find online, T1 is 1.544Mb/s. If two T1 lines (3.088Mb/s) and it made such a large difference to the site, we can assume the site has less than 10Mb/s bandwidth? That would mean that 100 simultaneous visitors would only get 100Kb/s each?

really slow in the last week....

[Dagalidis]

I think is time XS to move on a self managed (linux) dedicated Server on Europe.
With 49 Euros/month you can have 10TB/month on a 100/100 (in/out) Mbps line and with a good hardware config....

Intel® Core™ i7-2600 Quadcore
incl. Hyper-Threading Technology

RAM 16 GB DDR3 RAM
Hard disks 2 x 3 TB SATA 6 Gb/s HDD
7200 rpm (Software-RAID 1)
NIC 1 GBit OnBoard
connected at 100 MBit
Backup Space 100 GB
Traffic Unlimited*

I use this config and i run on the same Server..

• 7 COD2 Gameservers
• 1 Garry's Mod (Steam) GameServer
• 1 Teamspeak Server
• 1 Ventrillo Server
• 3 Forums (Vbulletin)
• 1 Forum (IPB)
• 1 Magazine (WordPress 3)

All services run Smoothly and without any LAG or Slowness and with a total 1,5 - 2 TB traffic/month..

LOL.... My forums are also XtremeCoders......

Take a Look Here...

[Hondacity]
