Complaints about the forum being slow

[firemachine69]

Complete hit and miss here. And it seems regardless of the network I use. Must be something on your end. You dump your cache lately?

[Doug_M]

Funny. I haven't had slowness issues except solely with clicking Like. That used to be a split second thing now it is slow to the point of the entire page refresh after clicking Like being noticabable.

Another issue, is that it is hit and miss whether or not the toolbar is there or not when I click reply or start a new thread.

But speed? Never been a problem.

EDIT: my guess is the issues people have been having is related to GOC now being hosted on the LiteSpeed web server platform. I don't think it has enough history and market share to have its problems (as any software has) worked out. Personally I'd stick with Apache or nginx. I'd never heard of Lightspeed until I checked to see what GOC was running today, and I'm a full stack web developer by trade.

Just to be contrary, everything is working fine for me today using Chrome and Opera at work and at home... Must be Trump's fault!

[stewbud]

It likely is Trumps fault!

But my wait of 10 seconds to load a new page is still frustrating me.

Cache dumping did nothing to fix the problem.

Did nothing for me also but my issues went away when I used a different provider, if you can do that by testing it at another location, home, office, friend's place, etc. it may shed some light on whether it is provider related. Just make sure it is another provider and not the same one at another location.

The main page loads fast and displays correctly:[ATTACH=CONFIG]10274[/ATTACH]


If slect the "What's New at GOC" tab, the page takes 5 to 10 seconds to load and displays incorrectly:[ATTACH=CONFIG]10275[/ATTACH]


Wile the displays is wrong, the search only takes 0.03 seconds, if I click the last message icon (>>) for any of the threads on this page, the resultant page is correctly formated but take 5 to 10 seconds to load.

My home page looks like that also. Now, it seems that the lagging occurs only when I go back to the home page. From there, and within threads, things appear to be normal.

Doing Several Load tests, it seems that the results are the browsers, users are using for the most part are the issue with load time.
See results below:

These are test sites that use multiple access points from around the world, to record the high, low and average access time, I'm posting the Highest of North America.


Test site 1: Load time - 2.142s Chrome - No errors

Test site 1: Load time - 5.805s - Firefix - Several Errors

Test site 1: Load time - 2.960s - Opera - No Errors

Test site 2: Load Time - 2.1 sec (Chrome) No errors
Test site 2: Load Time - 5.8 sec (IE browners) Several errors
Test site 2: Load Time - 5.4 sec (Firefox) Several errors
Test site 2: Load Time - 1.7 sec (Opera) No errors
Test site 2: Load Time - 2.1 sec (Android operating browser) No errors

Results are saying that if your using Firefox or EI, there are errors that are stopping from loading the site quickly.
These are not errors with the site, but compatibility of the browsers to the site.

You have have had good access before, as browsers change settings in their software this can affect some of the sites you use.

GOC has always recommended using Chrome for using our site. Users are welcome to use whatever they want though.

you're on it! i'm using chrome and never got any slow down of any kind. pages load very fast,refresh is error free.

Same here with slowness for the past week+.

Doesn't matter what browser I try, IE, Edge, Chrome, Firefox, and Opera tried all of them, same results.

Cleared cache/cookies/etc, no help.

My speed (I have Gb internet)



Seeing this also when I click "What's new..."



And finally, trace route:



This site is the only site I visit that is slow/corrupted.

When I login, I get a

vBulletin Message
Invalid Redirect URL (http://gunownersofcanada.ca/)

I usually use Microsoft Edge or Firefox.
I just tried Chrome, and it made no difference at all. Same speeds, at the same spots, and the same incorrectly displayed "What's new at GOC" page.
I just tried Internet Explorer (with scripting disabled), and it made no difference at all. Same speeds, at the same spots, and the same incorrectly displayed "What's new at GOC" page.

The Redirect URL issue is a change over from http to https

I just had the same issue, I checked both before and after the link from google took me to www. no http or https, when it logged in from the www. it gave me that address but redirected me to https when logging in again it works fine.

Seems to be an old link error

I can not replicate the what's new at GOC error, with my account or a testing account i just made.
Tried all browsers, i get the proper set up.

Like Doug, I'm an I.T. guy (I write software for 911 dispatch systems).

This is bizarre.... Seems like at least 3 people are seeing what I'm seeing.

I'm not using my ISP's (Rogers) DNS servers, I'm using Google's:

8.8.8.8
8.8.4.4

So when I have time later, I'll revert back to my ISP's DNS servers to see if that makes a difference (it really shouldn't though).

Will report back later.

PS - I also have 2 other computers besides this one, and an iPad and a Pixel 2 XL, I'll try the site from all of them as well.

It's a rare issue it seems.

I have 3 desktops running windows 10, one mac, one ipad, 2 androids and haven't been able to replicate the issue with my own computers.

For the Slow down issue, the only time I have some slow down is the huge threads like the picture thread.

I've tried via several VPN servers too, to see if its an geographical issue (yeah I know even rarer issue) with no luck

[Battle Beaver]

Ok, so here is what I found:

Changing DNS servers made no difference.

Tried from 2 different computers other than my desktop, an ASUS laptop and a Dell Optiplex Media PC. No change.

Tried from my iPad Pro 9.7" and my Pixel 2 XL, no change, same results.

Tried from my cellular network (same as my hard-line ISP, Rogers) on the above 2 devices, same issue again.

So.... from what I can tell about the previous posts in this thread, this seems isolated to those of us in Ontario???

Is it also isolated to those who use Rogers?????

For those of you posting about slowness and corrupted/mis-formatted "What's new...." pages, please post your geographical location and your ISP please!
