Forum:Long load times

Is there a known reason that our pages (at sryth.wikia.com) would be taking unusually long to load? I counted over 15 seconds to load Recent Changes a moment ago. Psychoadept (talk) 05:48, August 8, 2012 (UTC)
 * Might depend on your internet speed. Or do you have any extensions enabled? -- http://i151.photobucket.com/albums/s145/urbancowgurl777/UltimateSupreme2212-3.png  (Talk to me) 05:58, August 8, 2012 (UTC)
 * No special extensions, and other pages take a couple of seconds at most. The load times at Wikia seem to be related to page length, but our pages are not exceptionally long. The only one that might have an excuse for taking a while is Quest List, which transcludes massive amounts of content. Psychoadept (talk) 06:04, August 8, 2012 (UTC)
 * Added: it also seems to be worse when I'm publishing an edit than when I'm just viewing a page. Psychoadept (talk) 06:09, August 8, 2012 (UTC)
 * I just went to your wiki and the speed is normal for me. -- http://i151.photobucket.com/albums/s145/urbancowgurl777/UltimateSupreme2212-3.png  (Talk to me) 06:11, August 8, 2012 (UTC)

 * 1) Check your internet subscription, your maybe put on smallband
 * 2) What brower do you use? Try another one, if this is faster it's your browser. If you only have 1 browser instal another ones (chrome, firefox, internet explore). Still problems, than delete all browser and reinstal than. If this fix it you probaly installed to many add-ons.
 * 3) Go to
 * 4) If your speed is slower than 50% of the speed when no other internet use processes are running (msn, other browsers etc..) Than you might have an bittower-process or an virus running on your pc.
 * 5) For the bittower process check what bittowers you have and delete them. Normaly with that low internet connection you probaly have more than 1 installed. If you don't have bittower it's probaly an virus.
 * 6) For virusses I recommand an full system scan. If no virusses are detected go to the last step:
 * 7) Now if all above step did not fix you problem than you have an hugh problem. Than it can only be an system error or an virus that can't be detected. You can try an virus scan in linux but that would only make it complex. I recommand an system reset. Put everything to factory settings. WARNING copy all your files to an external hard drive!!! This proess will delete everything on your pc. This will also delete all programmas than are installed. So if you have an local game installed all your process will be lost.
 * 8) If you don't want to do the above step I recommand to let an PC technician look add it.
 * Just remembered something. Clear your browsers entire history and see or do what they said above. -- http://i151.photobucket.com/albums/s145/urbancowgurl777/UltimateSupreme2212-3.png  (Talk to me) 12:27, August 8, 2012 (UTC)

If you are on Firefox and have the Firebug extension, disable it. There's some major issue with Firebug and Wikia which makes pages load extremely slow and act very sluggish even when loaded. --Callofduty4 (talk) 14:46, August 8, 2012 (UTC)
