whats going on with A-N

[ayjay]

Mine's started telling lies now as well - it thinks it just loaded this page in - "Exec. Time: 10.3616" - it didn't, I timed it to over 50 seconds.

 

I'll try turning off Java sometime in the next couple of days, I can see that that might cause problems with other sites though - is there any way to turn it off on just one site?

the exec time is only from the moment you make a connection to the site to the time the page loaded. the first 40 seconds would be while your browser is still trying to establish a connection to anglers net.

 

might only pick up an extra 2-3 seconds disabling java. not worthwhile imo.

 

if you want to disable java to one site specifically theres a plugin called NoScript.

p.s.

 

ping is consistently around 150ms

 

a decent average ping of 30ms is good

 

so. Eltons host is crap imo. if this is a dedicated server id seriously be considering moving lads (Elton that is, to a new host)

 

Na, the web site either needs refreshing, lots of the add links are no longer available, What's makes a host go down hill?

OK, cheers, that explains that.

 

I've already got NoScript installed and in operation, so have tried disabling all scripts on AN and as you say there's very little difference.

perhaps maintaining it is more than its income and its being allowed to die a natural death although a fully operating site would be worth selling than a defunct one

speed test

[chesters1]

Strange ,first time 5.5 seconds ,second time 104 seconds ,perhaps its my blistering 1mb download which in real terms is four miles a fortnight

probably nowt to do with your speed chesters, ive a reliable 1.8mbps download on the majority of websites I visit. as for maintenance, its not that hard if im honest, people think its a constant battle maintaining a site like you need to pull levers and switches and be on it almost constantly like its powered by a steam engine.

 

havnt noticed if the site goes down at 1am anymore but the regularity of it made me think it was automated database maintenance (defrag of the db for want of a better word)

 

often, these things can be done in no more than 3-4 clicks. A-N just seems to be bogged down with java and other stat/tracking related stuff or a shitty server or both.

 

either way its pretty **** poor for what looks like a dedicated server (not sharing resources with other websites)

Andy I have a constant 30Mb connection and it is slow sometimes.

Been of line with PC problems, I've been looking in on my phone, but not able to post. Just bought a new lap top, and trying to post, but first three attempts were fruitless, even after waiting a couple of minutes.

Trying again.

 

Just noticed the time at bottom of page is about 6mins slow, I wonder if that could be causing the delay in some posts?

 

Here goes
