Web Hosting Talk : Web Hosting Main Forums : Web Design and Content : slow load when directory changes

[kdjernigan]

I am experiencing slow loads when changing directories. I am trying to figure out why this is. I use a standard CSS spreadsheet located in home directory, and I use php includes for all of my website sections (header, nav, footer). I use the standard ../../ to load previous directories.

When changing pages located in the root directory, things are great; however, when changing to another directory the page loads slow. Any suggestions?

(having this issue across my entire website, even on my development section of my website with a completely different design)

It sounds like your website is static? If so it would likely be an issue with the server your website is hosted on unless there's a lot of issues with the code.

If your web hosting account uses cPanel you could always check the server load.

Maybe some funky redirect in a .htaccess file? Do you have any .htaccess files on your site?

Found it. Thank you for your suggestions. It ended up being the fact that in my .htaccess file I was using full URL for error pages. When I changed to the standard ErrorDocument 400 /400.php everything worked correctly. Does anyone know why this would happen just by having full URL there? Also, is there a work around for this to still use full URL?
