Help Slowness

[Quivorir]

I noticed the your browser blocked effectivemeasure, which could be related, I've disabled effectivemeasure for now, can you test again.

Whatever this is seems to have solved it for me, can't seem to force it to slow. Actually, it seems to be running better than ever.

you cant ping bigfooty - it sits behind a load balancer, however pinging bigcricket.com is a valid test

 

[CHBench]

Also having the exact same issues, started yesterday but it seems to be worse today

Edit - much better now

Seems to be running well now Jimboy, thanks for your patience and assistance

Thanks to you and Quivorir for doing some troubleshooting, would have taken a lot longer to identify the issue without it

Sorry yeah, can ping bigcricket now.

 

[Demonalke]

Thanks for the fix. Was using a VPN to connect/access BF.

But it is flying along as per usual now.

- Slow again, back to VPN.

 

[RedmanWasHere]

I've not noticed any drop outs in connections.

 

[Paul Kersey]

On ipad and site is virtually unusable. Slow and not loading. Started today.

 

[ManWithNoName]

I'm still having issues. On my phone now and it still hangs or fails to load completely.

 

[I Dont Care]

So slow. After 10 seconds I personally give up. If the internet has taught me anything, it's impatience

 

[Catatonic Shock]

Having the same issues as above, on PC (win 7, Opera, NBN 100/40) and on the phone (4G and via wifi at home).
Sometimes loads instantly like normal, other times will sit there "loading" forever or take several minutes to load.

 

[RUNVS]

I am having the same issues. Sometimes the pages do not load and sometimes when they do load none of the links work so I have to refresh the page. Every other website is working fine for me so that makes me think it is bigfooty itself.

 

[Chief]

I'm having no trouble at all. Win 7, 3 different browsers. iPhone 5s on 4g and 3G.

I suspect it's at the ISP level.

I'm with iinet Adsl2 and Optus.

 

[I Dont Care]

Telstra, PC, Win7, Chrome and slower than dial-up. Other sites seem OK..only noticing it here

 

[Catatonic Shock]

Telstra seemingly doesn't like bigfooty...

 

[Demonalke]

Yep, I'm with Telstra too.
Site is fine through VPN.

 

[Benno_900]

Yep - very slow with Telstra

 

[Chief]

Could I ask a big favour of you guys?

Could you call your ISP support and report the issue? I'm not a customer so I don't know how far I'll get calling them up.

 

[Hollow Knight]

Been incredibly slow for me with both Telstra Cable and Telstra 3G so yeah, it definitely seems to be a Telstra issue.

Seems like a caching issue at Telstra's end (which explains why VPN's can dodge it)... Perhaps linked to just one particular ad. Because if you keep clicking refresh, you eventually get a good load.

 

[Chism]

Very slow for me and endless wait times loading pages this morning which had me searching this board straight away!

I am with Telstra ADSL2 using FF and every other Web page works great but BF is very laggy. Sometimes if i click the link twice while it is loading it works straight away.

I have not seen the site like this for ages now.

 

[Plugger35]

I'm glad it's not just me, I'm with Dodo and it's supposed to be internet that flies, well BF isn't flying at the moment, it's slowed to a crawl.

It's hard to load threads or make posts, keep having to hit enter a few times to get it to work.
