Is the site faster, slower, no different?

[Art Andrews]

Tonight we moved the RPF to a new server. Our hope is that 1) we will stop seeing 500 errors and 2) the site will run a bit more quickly. Please let us know if you feel the site is loading faster, slower, or no differently than before.

I noticed a distinct slow down after the switch yesterday.

But after tonight's down time, it's fast as can be.

Turn it up to Eleven.

Seems pretty good on my end, not lightning but way better than the last few weeks.

Right now, it's about the same. Site loads superfast already. I think in the past year, I've gotten the 500 error message no less than five times, but I usually just click the RPF tab in my favorite again for it to load.

Site feels hella faster, and no errors yet so far! Is this the work of that mysterious PhilP fella? He's as mischievous as that "RPF Staff" member... :lol either way bravo and cheers to our glorious overlords! :cheers

Same speed, no errors so far (got a couple over the last month).

I didn't get errors too often but it was very slow, sometimes I'd click a link and it would just hang. Seems much faster now, well done and thanks :thumbsup

It is. Phil is our server guru at the supernap.

Oops. I just noticed the site clock is about eight minutes behind.

 

[Jannix Quinn]

I noticed my posts aren't as funny as they used to be. Speed's ok though.

 

[Alan Castillo]

Hellishly faster than its been for the past couple of weeks, and no 500 errors yet.

We'll get the tech crew right on that.

Oh, I noticed one thing.

When I open a thread, it loads OK, but for some reason, the thingy that goes round in the tab bar (globe for IE, a quarter sliver of a circle for Chrome, etc), keeps on spinning like the page is still loading.

This happens with threads, not 'front pages'.

This also! Thanks for the quotable text Alan

Seems a lot faster than the last few days for sure.

The site has been down for me all morning. It just came back up a little bit ago. Seems O.K. speed wise for me.
