texte = Hi guys,Just to chip in ...surfing out from Singapore ...webdna.us is pretty fastand snappy, no distinct lag. Even the tech docs. So far, very goodperformance over the months we visited.Don't know if Govinda's issue could be a network related one. If he is basedout of Europe (UK), I can say that we have experienced the kind of lag hementions on getting web pages ...long delays but for pages fromwww.soccernet.com for example. Sometimes it loads very fast on some days,others it takes forever ...10 seconds or more.I am sure a traceroute will show up the cause (network or pipe issue)....not the HTML or WebDNA consideration for webdna.us site.Cheers Terry Nair-----Original Message-----From: Govinda [mailto:govinda.webdnatalk@gmail.com] Sent: Monday, January 24, 2011 05:00To: talk@webdna.usSubject: [WebDNA] Re: why is the webdna.us site slow?

Traffic to the site is relativelylow. For the past moth, 714 people looked at 2674 pages. Hence, a "peaktime" would be a pretty light load on the server.> > So, I would call webdna.us a fairly low-impact site currently -- needlessto say we probably won't need to purchase an accelerator license fromourselves at least not for now : - ) I hope to significantly increasetraffic to the site through our marketing efforts.

I really had noidea.. it was just a guess. All I can say is that the last couple days itis nice and fast... but many times (diff. days) in the past (occasionally)it could take 10 or more seconds for FF to even show that it had started toload the HTML after I clicked to see another page in the docs. I can'texplain it from anything I can see. If it happens again I will do atraceroute, as you ask. The delay I am mentioning in these posts is NOT thedelays that Bill just mentioned (HTML, JS, etc.); like I said it can be morethan 10 seconds wait at times, even though every other site I visit iffast/normal/as expected. I'll let you know if/when I see it again.------------Govinda---------------------------------------------------------This message is sent to you because you are subscribed tothe mailing list .To unsubscribe, E-mail to: archives: http://mail.webdna.us/list/talk@webdna.usBug Reporting: support@webdna.us Associated Messages, from the most recent to the oldest:
