View Full Version : Site/Forums Slow Down?

Folks,

Over the past couple weeks I've notice the site and forum pages loading much slower than in the past. For example, a forum page sometimes takes 10-15 seconds to load, same to change forum pages.

I'm on 3MBps high speed cable. I can immediately hop from the NLG site to another high bandwidth site during those problem times (to make sure my connection and pc is working ok). The fact that other high bandwidth sites load quickly and the fact I'm seeing this symptom on two different computers makes me wonder if this is a hosting bandwidth issue.

Has anyone else picked up on a noticeable site or forum slowdown, especially at night (10 to 2am EST timeframes)?

I've noticed it as well...I figure it's a hosting issue.
The DB for the forums was down for a while yesterday as well...so I assumed they're either moving to a faster host or working on it ;)

I think it just could be a bandwidth issue as I'm in England and have no problems during the morning (I guess most visitors are in America and tucked-up in bed when it's morning here) but it's slower at night time when America is awake. If I go on very late (evening in the States) it slows down quite a lot.
This might be a small case of NLG being a victim of it's own success but I'm sure it'll get sorted eventually as David and Tim are doing a very professional job of everything so far.
