Forum Speed

[Sal-XK]

Has anyone noticed a slow down in the forum? I have a pretty large internet connection and all my other sites are snapping open as usual but this site seems to be having a delay last few days. I know where getting busy on here just curious if anyone else has noticed it.

[Matt]

Only when on my cell phone.. sometimes it takes a while for the "reply" box to open. But my laptop seems fine....

[sean112280]

i see it on my cell as well.

[Sal-XK]

It must be me then it only happens when going in certain sections like when hitting the whats new button.

[DetroitMarauder]

Its not you. It seems really slow to me too for about the last week or so. I thought I was the only one.

[LWM]

I have not noticed it but I will keep an eye on it, there have been no changes that would effect speed so I would think it is an outside issue.

[ScorpionCrawler]

I've noticed it, as slooower too.
Does anyone else get logged off, for no apparent reason?
If I'm reading a thread that is longer and navigate somewhere else, I'm getting a message to log on again.
As if there are too many users and the server is booting users to make room???
Yes the box is checked to remember me, but when I go back I have to enter the log in info.

This problem might be because you are loging onto the xk-forum, log onto theultimatejeep.com and save your log in again and you should be good.

Thanks,
I added UltimateJeep as a favorite but I didn't delete XKForum as a favorite and I have been clicking XK forum favorite tab.
My bad XK forum favorite has been removed only leaving UltimateJeep.
Thanks again...

operates at normal speed for me

[Sal-XK]

Well, it was my fault I guess even though this site was loading the slowest out of all the sites I visit my router took a dump. Today when we woke up everyone was complaining that the internet was running real slow so I performed some tests. My cable modem direct connect was maxing out at 33 MPS pretty good speed but same test going threw the router was 500 KPS :( Did some work and some reboots and it eventually made to 1 MPS totally unacceptable. It was an old G router but even when it was working it was working at only half my connection speed and was horrible at streaming videos from one device to another. So off to best buy I went and I went big, got a top of the line N+ 2.5 GHZ and 5 GHZ dual band router at 480 MPS wireless speed :) :) hehehehe.... It also allows you to plug in hard drives and access them from any device so I have my 1 terabyte hard drive plugged in to that as well. It's not over kill it's really ridiculous the crap I have hooked up to the internet now. I have 3 PS3's, 4 laptops, 1 desk top, 1 wii, direct TV, 2 flat screens, 4 smart phones and a partridge in a pear treeeeeee..... I tried getting the 50MPS connection but my area don't have that yet :( So when my son and I are slaying each other on MW2 and my daughter is watching netflix and the wife is doing work we can all be happy. I also streamed some movies off my hard drive I hooked up to the router threw my PS3 to watch on my TV and the HD picture didn't miss a beat it worked great. Oh the router is a Belkin N750 I think it said. I don't think the brand is so important but any N+ dual band router would work so if things are sluggish this might be worth the investment.

[hoaxci5]

Sal if your internal network cards are only G then an N router doesn't really help much.. So if you think it's fast now, grab a couple of N cards for your computers and then be even happier :)

[LWM]

My router is getting old and starts & stops at all the worse times, I need to go buy a new one too.

[Sal-XK]

Sal if your internal network cards are only G then an N router doesn't really help much.. So if you think it's fast now, grab a couple of N cards for your computers and then be even happier :)

Two of my laptops have the high speed card and one runs on the 5 ghz signal so that ones pretty quick. Im thinking about upgrading the others just not sure if it's worth it for the smaller computers.

[cico7]

I like the N wireless modems and cards. Wish I could update some of my other computers.

[DetroitMarauder]

I just bought this last week and it is awesome.

It's a modem and wireless router combo. One unit and no network cable unless you're hooking up a desktop that needs it. A little pricey but you get what you pay for.

[Matt]

I recant that last post... i started noticing it today. Definitely seems slower...

[Matt]

hmmmm.... forum speed has picked up... but i think all the members are MIA https://theultimatejeep.com/notfound.png

[LWM]

hmmmm.... forum speed has picked up... but i think all the members are MIA https://theultimatejeep.com/notfound.png

Not all of them :)

[Matt]

"owners" don't count.... That's like a teenager coming home and saying "none of my friends are around" and his parents saying "but we're here!"....

[Matt]

JUST KIDDING!!!

[sean112280]

I'm around!

[Sal-XK]

Well I'm convinced now its this site running slow :( I just tested my speed again maxed out at 37 MBPS and this site still loading slow. Sometimes it times out LOL maybe the hosting site adjust the band width based on use or something just weird I guess.

[DetroitMarauder]

I was just about to revive this thread too. The site is still slow but lately its been doing something weird to me. I'll sign in then click on "New Posts" and I get signed out and have to start over again.

[hoaxci5]

The site is on a shared server, so it's like any other computer if a lot of people are doing a lot of things then it will run slow. I have no idea how many other sites are hosted on this server, but imagine each site as a program open on your computer.. some programs take more system resources than others and I think we're making this forum into a resource hog :p

I've got Verizon FIOS, which has some nominally decent speed for a home setup - https://theultimatejeep.com/images/imported/2011/11/1619079541-1.png

Nonetheless, this is the slowest site that I visit more than once a day. :eek:

But even your speed test gives this site a A+ and indicates it is 98% faster than other US sites.

I'm not sure if this is a joke or not.. That is a rating of his internet service based on comparison to other ISP's and their speeds.

This is a test of his band width not our forum speed. I'm pretty jealous of that up load speed though that's jus sick. I'm pretty stoked that we grew enough to slow the server down :D

[DetroitMarauder]

Got an A- which actually surprised me it was that good.

Yep. This. :D

[hoaxci5]

Yep. This. :D

Do you high tier FIOS or is that a speedtest from work?

[Sal-XK]

https://theultimatejeep.com/images/imported/2011/11/1620451145-1.png this site was running great today just slowed down at night. Not my best numbers but still pretty good.

[AJeepZJ]

I've never had a problem with speed on this website... at all. I've had problems with the other site loading up though. I like to move quickly and hit the 'END' button as soon as a page loads... some times pages with pics keep bumping the view location up - pushing me further and further from the bottom.. until they all load. Actually irks the crap out of me. Never had that issue here though.

[The_War_Wagon]

Do you high tier FIOS or is that a speedtest from work?

That's from home - I think they have a higher tier than this, still, although Lord knows I have everything BUT the Playboy Channel, and have the bundle package (phone/internet/cable).

[cico7]

So is there any way to improve the speed? Someone said it was a shared server.
I use godaddy to host my sites, is that the same thing?

Yes it's shared too unless you are paying for a dedicated server which is significantly more per month (around $50-60 a month for a basic one)

[Matt]

Don't know about you guys.... but the forum is in super-slow mode for me this evening. I have about 8 tabs with other websites/forums/etc and i can go through each of them and read a new page before one loads here :eek:

[CT-riverrat]

[Sal-XK]

Yea it's running like swamp water tonight :( to me 10 minuets to get to this thread.

[CT-riverrat]

Now its cruisin!

[Sal-XK]

Now its cruisin!

Ya it picked up again. We need to keep in mind that it's the hosting site doing for the forum. Not sure what if anything Jon can do about it but it does seem to have issues more frequently over the last month.

[Sal-XK]

Spoke to soon LOL the site was just down I think.

[AJeepZJ]

Yeah - it does seem a little bogged on my end. I usually never have problems with speed.

[LWM]

I just called 1&1 and they tell me everything is normal. If it continues I may have to look at other host services

[Sal-XK]

It was weird today it would run real slow then normal almost fast then about an hour later I couldn't even access the site then bam it was working again.

[BonesWK]

I have been having trouble getting it to come up the last couple days.

It will work on second, then not work at all

[LWM]

I am having trouble on my work computer too, I will see what I can do or move the site.

[sean112280]

I cant even get on the site here at work. They block it for some reason. Sucks. Have to use my phone to look around during the day.

[cico7]

i had a lot of trouble last week.....i complained to Sal....:eek:

[07JeepXK]

No troubles here!
