Web Hosting Talk : Other Forums : WHT Announcements, Feedback and Questions : Pages loading slowly [Merged]

[all-expert]

hello all,

I am getting request timeout since morning today for webhostingtalk.com.

I tried tracert and it was request timed out after 15 hops to rackspace.

anybody else having same problem?

only now i get to open it after 4 hours.

Is anyone else experiencing slow page loads on WHT?

Everything below where it says "advertisement" (at the top) is taking forever to load. And its not just new pages; pages that I've visited and refreshes.

And its not my Internet either because other inetinteractive and non-inetinteractive sites also load fast too.

Seems pretty fast from here.

Does it always do that for you?

[HNLV]

Nope, just this morning.

It did do a similar thing sometimes in the past but it went away in 5 minutes or so. But I've been browsing for a while now hoping that it would just go away and that doesn't seem to happen.

[HNLV]

I think I was a little shy of timeout, but my pages were loading really really slow this morning.

[DedicatedBox]

It is loading slow for me now,
but as my provider is performing maintenace on certain routes, it could be just my connection

[HNLV]

Well its highly unlikely that ALL our providers are doing maintenance at the same time.

In the morning I too faced request timeout message, but it is ok now. It's loading FAST.

[HNLV]

Now the pages are back up to speed.

[The Dude]

Seems OK here also

The webpage is taking atleast 5mins to load. Tracert timeout at rackpace.com. Been consistent for the past two days or more.

I have this problem before too and just waited a few hours and it cleared up figured it was just high traffic to the site

Hi all, I experience slowness in surfing the WHT forum. I am wondering if others have experienced the same thing. Is this normal experience for most users?

[CArmstrong]

Some people have recently been seeing that as well: http://www.webhostingtalk.com/showthread.php?t=607837

Is it something to do with the DDOS prevention?

The first load always take very long. The subsequent page loads are fast but if I wait longer it reverts back to taking too long.

You need to rectify these or you are losing lot of new visitors.
