Forum:Experiencing slow site.

One of our users is reporting that it is regularly taking 2 minutes to load wikia pages. Though on other sites he is not having such problems. Any idea why this might be? He is not particularly computer savvy and is running a Mac and we are having difficulty sorting out what might be the problem. Any ideas, similar experience.Dr Joe Kiff - User:Lifeartist (talk ) 13:31, 21 August 2006 (UTC)


 * If it afflicts him on any wikia.com site but not on a wikimedia site, it sounds most likely that it is an offsite image or advertisement failing to load. Ask him to try reaching these links:


 * http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show_ads.js
 * http://4.adbrite.com/mb/text_group.php?sid=121274&br=1


 * And see if either one takes 2 minutes to fail (or succeed). --Splarka (talk) 22:59, 21 August 2006 (UTC)

Sparkla,


 * I'm the computer challenged person having problems with the speed. Joe e-mailed me and sent me to this page.


 * I clicked on the first site and it opened instantly. It was, however, a page of what appeared to be computer code.


 * I clicked on the second site, and it, too, opened instantly to 'Gadgets and Toys from Japan' (which in itself sounds interesting).


 * It still took a full 2 minutes 6 seconds to initially open The Psychology Wiki and another two minutes to change this page to edit mode.


 * Also, although I am logged on, and have a User Page, my name is appearing in red at the top of the page.


 * Help!!!!!!

Also. I took 2 minutes to go to Preview & another 2 to Save. I'm not getting any younger here.
