    There doesn’t appear anywhere to put site feedback so I have posted here.
    The site seems to be getting slower and slower, far slower than any other comparable site I use. Pretty sure it’s not my end so was wondering what the issue is?
    It is beginning to get frustrating

    WOW and all these time I suspected my internet provider is doing something to slow me down.

    Well now I know its not just me. Please if you have these kind of problems in the future posted it on your front page so we know and not wait for ages to load. We can always come back another time!

    I could be wrong, but I suspect that something being loaded in the head section of the code is delaying the page rendering – most likely some poorly written advertising or analytics. Pages download almost instantly when I’m pulling down just the html for my feed reader to parse.

    it’s not a caching problem and the cached pages (for non-logged-in) users are okay, it’s a database issue

    Sorry to hear that, I hoped a little magic would take care of it. Now it’s a matter of figuring out which queries are hogging up the server and creating some in indexes. EXPLAIN FTW!

    yeah, if only it were that simple 😉

    Aye, much faster. For as long as I can remember it’s been in the order of 10-15s per page refresh when logged in, it’s seems in the 1-3s range today. Not snappy but eminently usable. Huzzah whoever has tweaked that.

    Have now taken to opening road.cc in a separate window and dipping in & out. Serious ‘new Brookes saddle’ levels of pain if trying to access on a mobile device though.

    in the meantime, like others have said, logging out speeds things up considerably but obviously you can’t comment then.
