Delay in page loading

[Jackie]

Whenever I click to read a new thread there is a delay in the page loading. I am getting the banners across the top no problem but just a little message that says the clock is GMT + 1 hour and then it says the time now is blah blah.

Is anyone else getting this ?

[slodgedad]

I'm getting that too but I don't think it's a problem as it only lasts for a split second.

Not been like it all day, started just recently and my delay is about 20 seconds and it is annoying:lol::lol:

The delay seems longer now than earlier,mine is approx 5 seconds now!

[Tojack]

Mine's about the same AL .Also go to last post icon not working.

Why is mine longer? no maybe don't answer that:lol: I am counting 15secs minimum and 20 secs maximum

Not a clue. Mines normal, but at least I've bumped the thread to see if anyone else is having a problem.

Can't see anything wrong at this end..:coffee::coffee::typing::typing:

It is taking a couple of seconds longer than when we restarted on this server, but not the times Jackie mentions.

Mine is taking between 5 and 7 seconds (see how precise I actually checked on my watch).
Can I apply to be a Mod please, I'm 'normal' well as normal as some of the mods :whistle:

I have no idea why this happens for some... I can see that in the server end, the queries are responded to within fractions of a second, no delays at all. If it was a performance issue with the server, all would see the same kind of delays.
Myself, I see that delay when browsing the forum, but it's only just enough to read the time... Less than a second.
I get the impression that it might have to do with how the browser renders the page, but it seems a bit far-fetched... :confused:

Mine is slightly better this morning...7 seconds, but it is a noticeable amount of time, normally it just went straight to the page/thread. Was fine all day yesterday then started in the evening, I haven't changed anything on my computer so don't know what the problem is

I noticed a slight but noticeable slow down of the forum that started yesterday .

For me it is no more than a couple of seconds.

It seems to be a problem with Google analytics (not that I'll see the adverts anyway with having a decent hosts file). I've seen this quite a lot on sites that rely on outside advertising, and it's usually Google that's the slowest.

I got this a few times earlier around the 7 second mark ,see to be much quicker now but still a delay .Not moaning just saying to back up the others ..............

OH!HECK ...............your poor wife!!:lol:

The Google analytics code is just before the closing BODY tag... the delay is much earlier in rendering the page, (before showing the posts), so I don't think that's it.
It's also strange that it's not the same for all users.

Edit: Also, we don't have outside advertising, so that can't slow it down. Google Analytics is for statistics, not for ads. (That would be Adsense)

Second Edit: Things which needs external data are the widgets in the sidebar. We're looking into if one of them might be the culprit.
