[Closed] Shoot the update guys?

Yep, very slow here. (Android/Chrome)

The pop up fun and games is worse than ever as well.

It would be nice to have an update, but it's not really the done thing around here is it.

An email to just to say "yes, it's a bit shit but we're working on it" would be something.

Silence though, much more effective 🙂

I've gone from wasting many times a day on here to coming on once to check things I've been watching. Thinking about cancelling my Premier, not worth it now its so slow.

Truly awful at the moment - ever since that failed update attempt. It seemed to be better on PC/Windows/Chrome than Android/Chrome for a while but both are just a joke now.

Shooting seems a bit harsh.

Perhaps a swift boot in the plums would suffice

I was sitting here all smug but now really slow on every device.

That's a relief - thought it was my internet. Average of 60 seconds to load a page is getting tedious.

We are really busy in the shop at the moment so this week would be good if you decide to shut for maintenance.

Turned to molasses here too.

Fine here.

Spoke too soon, some of the threads do take a long time.

Lots of pic heavy threads at the moment too. I made myself a cup of tea whilst waiting for one of the 'cars to fap to' page to load.

Slower than a darts match with Dianne Abbott refereeing here.

Android/Chrome.

Been fine until tonight, not sure why but could be something nasty going on either.

😆

Thought it was my ancient chromebook to start with but no, STW is crawling.

Yeah, running like a snail here.

Good thing the forum isn’t full of IT workers

Seems to be fine here, and my broadband isn’t the quickest by any means.

Yup, been perfect here until this evening. Now it's a steaming pile of poo!

Equally bad on both chrome and Firefox, both running on Android

It was whizzing along, fine and dandy for me, after the failed update.
It's not, now. 😕

Same here. Been slow all day on various devices.

Edit -me and my big mouth, it took over a minute to post that comment!

Glad I read this. I was just about to phone sky to complain about my connection.

It seems ok here - safari on iOS

Pretty easy to see why. 925 requests to a stupid amount of various types of resources and lots of outside Ad serving scripts killing the site.

Yup, requests are taking a long long time to get returned. Something in the backend is clearly not right!

Yeh running super slow for me too (Abaco web browser/Plan 9 OS) 🙄

I like it. I can keep up with the posts as people can't post too fast.

Even without all those requests their server is taking a very long time to do something.

Oooh! Someone gave the hamster some speed.

Mark posted a couple of days back that STW had been subject to a DOS attack. Whether that's still an issue I don't know.

None of whom have visibility of the codebase.

Seems a bit mean to do that at the same time they were trying to rollout the update.

Just not cricket.

Could be worth them stickying a post if they do actually have a reason for the slowness and communicating a little better. There are a few who pay to be here and even those that don't put up with the ads.

I wrote this yesterday and now it doesn't mean anything

Why it’s not like the like this all the time?

stupid slow double posting shitty site

Back to normal for me.

Still a bit slow.

EDIT: Glacial again now.

Back to normal for me.

seems faster now, 3-4 seconds for it the now, but it's been intermittent over the last week for me.

(btw I wasn't really complaining about this, was more just a heads up, forums always go through this some of thing from time to time.)

saying that though, finger oot and get it sorted! 😆

Nah. Still shit.

Not as bad as a Windows attack though.

Nah. Still shit.

Speed or content?

Not as bad as a Windows attack though.

I still remember the havoc caused by the WindowsMe attack. Crippled so many computers.

To add a bit of balance, the site is absolutely fine for me. Very slow connection and everything running smoothly. No pop ups or redirects either.

Hey guys,
Just to keep you updated we are aware of the site performance issues that sometimes creep up now and then. Because they don't really have much of a pattern of when they happen, it's rather difficult for us to pin down exactly what it is.

We have a new (revised) plan after last week's down time and hopefully the new plan will sort out the performance with the site.

We much appreciate when you tell us which browser (+version), OS (+version) and if you can how the issues happen (what did you do to trigger it).

Don't hesitate to drop us an email at tech@singletrackworld.com for problems or issues you come across.

Really sorry about all of this, we're trying our best. Hopefully we'll get it sorted soon.

Thanks and happy holidays 🙂

N-N-N-NEW FORUM?

You boy! What day is this?

Better now.

Chrome Version 63.0.3239.108 (Official Build) (64-bit)
W10

Sluggish...

Fine here. Don't get any porn or redirects either whether I'm using Chrome on Linux or Android 5 (tablet) or Android 7 (phone)

STW has recently been nationalised for the good of the people.

You boy! What day is this?

2015.

Nothing to do with browsers and all todo with either your dedicated server and/or network, and/or your choice of advert suppliers.

Google Chrome is up to date
Version 63.0.3239.108 (Official Build) (64-bit)
W10

shity slow

(what did you do to trigger it).

Yup it was appreciated as I wasn’t sure if it was my end.

N-N-N-NEW FORUM?

Oh god, better start thinking up a new forum name. Remember last time.

Everyone need a group hug? 😀

PM me.

So tonight I'm gonna party like it's [s]1999[/s] 2006

Glacially slow this morning

using Chrome

Absolutely fine here using Chrome. Wasn't aware there was an issue.

Company network does block all ads though, coincidence?

None of whom have visibility of the codebase.

Probably for the best eh? Wouldn’t want there to be a total breakdown in credibility

It seems to be a bit faster this morning, even though I'm on a poor mobile signal.
Chrome on Android.

what did you do to trigger it

Yup, it's fine my end this morning.

all fine here, just for a bit of balance

Probably about 6-8 seconds to open the pages here. Seems a little slower than usual..

clicked on the thread link.

Well there's your problem. Just don't click on any links. Sorted.

Ok here (1-3 second page load time) - but the 350 Mbp download and 900 Mbp upload might help

Still crap here - 40+ download speed on Mac and its so bad on mobile I'm not bothering.

The above took 11s to post from clicking "send post"

and the next one took 17s.... 🙄

I'm just assuming it's broken until we're told it's fixed.

sloooooow again.

Its been slow for months on my iphone.

Clearing browsing history was the only trick that works.

to be fair im on a dedicated line.

5 secs

All good here still. 😐

Carp again here after being better earlier this morning
