  • Slow load times on AU sites?

    is anyone still experiencing slow load times on AU sites, apparently this is resolved but I just emptied my cache and checked load times on half dozen sites. Still very slow!

    I just loaded http://www.prettypollution.com.au/ and it took 17sec.
    Got similar time for http://www.designexperts.com.au/ as well. So, although not very fast it's much better than what you’re seeing. Could be something in the node you’re being routed through.

  • Random, excruciatingly slow load time with 7900 Elite small form factor desktops

    Hi all, I have approx 300 HP 7900 Elite small form factor machines in my environment that were deployed just over two years ago. from the time of deployment we have experienced on about 50 occasions a random, excruciatingly slow load time that take about one hour for the user to login and open their programs. there has been no rhyme or reason for it, different floors, areas of the building, etc. I searched the forum for similar probs and didn't see one like this, I hope I'm not duplicating efforts from someone else's question... One thing we have noticed is that if we re-boot while it is going through the start-up process, it seems to "make it angry" and will lengthen the overall load time. We use the 32-bit Vista Enterprise OS. This is with a "stock" build, that is to say, our standard corporate build. our security policy does not allow users to install software, by the way. Thanks so much if you can help!

    Hi,
    How is the issue going? Usually, this error can be caused by missing third-party NIC driver. To solve the issue, we can download the missing network
    driver and update the WDS boot image to include it.
    In addition to the article provided by Chris, the following blog can also be referred to as reference.

  • I just updated my RAM and I keep getting a crash report. I have a 21.5 Inch mid 2010 imac. I also am experiencing slow load times and when I try to open Final Cut it says that quartz extreme is not compatible and that I have no VRAM even though I do.

    I just updated my RAM (replaced the two 2 gig cards with two Corsair 8 gig cards) and I keep getting a crash report. I have a 21.5 Inch mid 2010 imac. I also am experiencing slow load times with Photoshop and when I try to open Final Cut it says that quartz extreme is not compatible and that I have no VRAM even though I do.

    There have been a few reports on here where Corsair RAM seems to have caused users a lot of grief with crashes.
    The recommendation on here, mostly, is to only buy RAM from macsales.com or crucial.com as they guarantee their modules will work and offer a no quibble lifetime guarantee.
    I'd put the original RAM back in, return the Corsair chips for a refund and re-order from one of those two companies.

  • Page not found, slow loading times CC Files

    Hi,
    Two weeks ago I reported that there were CC files problems like 'page not found' errors and slow loading times and pages not even showing anything. Those problems were temporarily resolved but are back as of today.
    Please fix this because for me this is not workable and I guess for many others. I've already moved part of my design files away from CC Files and am now reaching the point were I want to abandon this beta-ware altogether.
    I'm living in Europe, maybe this gives additional info. Maybe server problems only in this continent?
    Thanks for looking into this.
    Jan

    So what product would you advice me to file this bug report under? There is no Creative Cloud Files entree or similar.
    I'm not sure I'm taken by Adobe support channels policies. if I tweet a complaint some employee tell me I'll be called back by support. Instead of being called back I get asked per email to report on the community forums, when I post on the forum someone tells me to file a bug report. Ehhh...
    Time to move on.

  • Yahoo! slow load time

    Does anyone know if there is going to be a firmware update to address the excessi'vely slow load times for DRMed WMA files such as those from Yahoo!Music Unlimited? I have "cleaned up" my Micro and it still takes a WMA file about 7 seconds to load if I just go to a random one, whereas it only takes about -2 seconds for a random MP3 to start playing. This is rather annoying, and I'm just wondering if the code that does the license check is being optimized.

    indo87 wrote:
    Try to convert the wma to mp3 with a program doesnt take that long.
    But it's a DRM'ed file, so it's not legal--unless you use the program I just mentioned in this thread, and it's bleeding-edge enough that the RIAA might sue them anyway.
    That delay is perhaps the only problem with 2.20.05; I didn't have quite as much a delay on DRM'ed files with 2..02. (But I also switched from a Napster To Go trial to YMU at the same time, so that might be part of it.) It's not the 30-second delay that the WMP updates in the FAQ post fix, however.

  • FireFox hangs up for a long time on most pages and sometimes never loads them. This is new phenomenon. What can I do to resolve this issue?

    I attempt to open up a site. Firefox hangs for a 20-30 seconds on most sites and sometimes never opens the page, despite leaving it open for a long, long time. I find that if I go up to the address bar and hit "enter" on the page I'm trying to go to that most of the time I can then load the page after a couple of tries. This is obviously annoying and never used to happen. I'm looking for a fix. Thanks!

    I had done that already. I brought it down to 30, which was recommended in another thread.
    For most sites, Firefox works fine. But some of the primary sites I use for work hang up for long periods of time and frequently never load. I've tested the same sites with other browsers and they load quickly, so it is a Firefox issue.
    Please help me keep Firefox! Thanks!!

  • Stunnigly slow load time. It isn't my system, because both Chrome and Safari load in less han ten seconds. Firefox is too bloated.

    Folks, I don't use Firefox much anymore. Why? Because the load time has become ridiculous. Chrome and Safari both load in less than ten seconds. Firefox can take up to a minute. And usually does. It has become bloated. It has lost the intent. You say the fox is the fastest? It isn't. Either in load time or search time. Chrome smashes the fox. Simpler, cleaner, faster. Isn't that what Firefox was all about in the beginning? You folks need to take a giant back step.

    Agreed...I'm considering jumping ship. Too many crashes, hangs constantly, too many secure sites the server can longer find even though they've been bookmarked for ages, takes forever to load and plug-in issues galore. It's sad, the last 6 months have been horrendous and nothing is getting fixed with all the constant updates. No one should have to clear cookies and cache as much as is always suggested here just to get pages to load that load on other browsers with no problem.

  • Really slow loading times

    Hey BT Support people,
    I have been experiencing some pretty much unusable loading times on pretty much every website that I care to load. It even takes a good 30 seconds to download a 34kb email.
    I am a web developer and know a good deal about networking e.t.c so I have tried a number of things to try and pinpoint the problem. 
    Firstly I phone BT, got the nice lady at the call centre to do a line test for me. She called back telling me the line is fine, and so it MUST be my routers. I performed a few test myself and checked the router e.t.c but most importantly I opened the command prompt and typed the following line
    tracert www.mcmnet.co.uk
    Just a random address. Here were the results of my test
    C:\Users\Simon>tracert www.mcmnet.co.uk

    Trace complete.
    The bold section is what is happening inside BT. Now that, if you ask me is a **bleep** of a lot of bouncing around between routers. 
    The lady at the call centre assured me it has nothing to do with them but was in fact my fault. ........ As you can see in RED, is how long it took for the hop to get out my house and onto some other routers elsewhere in the world. Less than a few milliseconds. So unfortunately the call centre lady is in fact, wrong. 
    I am a little anxious to get our internet back up to speed and working again as, my job by its very nature is permanently in need of a quick internet connection, and working from home is certainly not an option if I can't even visit the BT forums without it taking 2 minutes to load each page.
    I have checked my router settings and I am getting downstream speeds of 5340kbps. plenty fast enough.
    Does ANYONE know what's going on and how to fix it? Appreciated.
    Thanks

    I too am finding the same. A speedtest shows consistent 16.5mbs throughput, ping 34ms. Cleared all browser caches using the inetcpl.cpl command to clear any persistant .txt files and also flushed DNS cache and ran "net stop dnscache, net start dnscache" which can sometimes resolve odd site issues. 
    No change with many web pages seeming very slow to load. If it were just an odd site then fair enough but it appears not. 
    Enough have been slow however to cause me to "google" the issue... hence finding this thread.

  • Hanging and Very slow loading

    Hello People,
    Thank you in advance for your help. Im having a problem with my Mac, i have a top of the range 27" desktop mac and its approx 18 months old.
    Recently i have a huge issue with webpages hanging on safari, Chrome and firefox. The pages will start to load and then about 1/4 of the way they just stop responding, sometimes for upto a minute or more. If i do something like send/receive on outlook it tends to bring them back to life.
    I have a pretty decent internet connection and most of the time it runs fine. But on the odd occasion the above happends, i clear the cache and cookies on a regular basis, i did used to think it was to do with the browsers not liking it when they all work at the same time. (i sue different browsers for different things)
    I also have problems with the spinning wheel, when typing an email in outlook for mac, or something in firefox all of a sudden it will just stop respondng and the spinning wheel will appear.
    I try and keep this comp as clean as i can with nothing on the desktop, all folders neat and tidy and it has loads of memory left as i use external hardrives. i just can wor out why i get such bad performance especially with this web browser hanging issue, im trying to add/ remove prodsucts from e-coomerce sites and it takes 4x as long as it ahould because the pages just hang.
    Apolgies for my grammar, spelling, punctuation. I have tried to explain this the best i can and your assistance would be greatly appreciated as this is driving me madddddddd!!
    Thank you again
    Ashley 

    Yes i have tried those ideas, still no luck. It just took about 2 mins to open this page! So frustrating.
    But thanx

  • Slow load times for itunes u

    We have noticed that lately iTunes U for UW-Whitewater (uww.edu) has been extremely slow, and sometimes even timing out.  We have been trying this from various different locations and computers.  It appears to be something on the apple side.  Has anyone else seen this?
    Apple Engineers: Any updates as to what might be going on?

    Greetings Guys;
    We had the same issue yesterday, but the issue seemed to be affecting only the iTunes desktop application.  When I would preview using the iPad, load times were normal.  The issue seems to have been resolved this morning.

  • Slow loading time of cdn assets from mobile

    our requests to cdn got very slow in our mobile version (about 5-15 sec for picture)
    in our "regular" site the cdn is working ok. (the devices located in the same place in the same network)
    any idea?

    Is the loading time in mobile device specific to this image? Just trying to understand if there is a lag attributed to device or mobile browser performance.  I've not experienced any lag for CDN content in the mobile in the same WiFi my laptop was
    connected to.

  • Slow Loading Times

    Over the last few days I have noticed that the time it takes Safari (using 6.0.5 update) to load a webpage is taking much longer. Even if it's just www.google.com or www.espn.com it takes longer to load. I have even done the "reset safari" option, cleared my cache and it's still running slow. Is there anything else I can do? I was thinking about bringing it into the Apple folks and have them take a look and see if maybe they could clear stuff up or anything.
    Thanks.

    Please answer as many of the following questions as you can.
    Restart your router and your broadband device, if they're separate. Any change?
    If possible, connect to your router with an Ethernet cable and turn off Wi-Fi. Any difference?
    Are any other devices on the network, and if so, are they all slow at the same time?
    If you can connect to more than one network, are they all slow?
    Are all network applications slow, or only some? If only some, which ones?
    Is networking always slow, or only sometimes?
    Disconnect all other devices from the network. Any change?
    Boot in safe mode and test. Any difference?
    If possible, turn off Bluetooth and disconnect any USB 3 devices. Any difference?

    I've tried to reduce the size on some of my images by exporting from iPhoto and limiting pixel width, as you can see the site is still super slow. I'm wondering if other folks have experience this and have any helpful tips.
    Thanks!

    If you use command-shift-4, everything in that selected area gets lifted. In the case of the red image, you grab the image, it's reflection AND the white background that's showing through the reflection. If you convert this image to a .jpg and place it over a white background, there's effectively very little difference but you realize a great change in file size.
    Change the color of the page's background, and you see the difference immediately. The reflection loses it effect. Instead of being reflected over black as it would be if it were a .png, it still carries the white reflection since that's the color you lifted from the screen capture. You'd have to take the original file, reflect it, and command-shift-4 to copy a new image with the correct colored background. It's not just a white box, it's whatever color box your current background is. This is an old web trick used for when you needed the high quality color of .jpg and the transparency of a .gif. You just created all your graphics as .jpg's such that they give the illusion of having degrees of transparency (like with iWeb's reflections and shadows). Here's an image that is an example of this.

    the page it's from
    http://www.apple.com/ilife/iweb/
    Drop that image on any background other than white to see what I mean by "white boxes around images"
    On your pages, you've composited the entire background as one big .jpg, so it doesn't apply. This one is particularly nice.

    Make the .jpg match the page background, and it doesn't require a series of .png's!
