    Default Very slow page load times

    Initially, I thought it was just my computer, but members are complaining that it takes quite a while to load pages after a post, or when clicking on a forum, etc.

    Any ideas as to what may be causing this?

    There are at least a few thousand different possibilities based on the information you have provided so far. Perhaps if you can provide some more specific information about the site then it may be possible to eliminate some possibilities.

    Would it help to provide you with the url? www.leowives.com

    We have only been up and running a few weeks, so there really aren't even that many posts, graphics, etc. to bog it down.

    What else can I provide you to help you help me?

    Runs fine for me, each page is instantly brought up.

    Have you done a traceroute?

    No problem here and I'm in the UK. I wish every web-site I visit was as quick to load as yours.

    East Coast of the U.S. here - all pages load almost immediately.

    It loaded reasonably quickly for me (I am in Australia). The slowest loading part of the page was the 32k header image.

    Now that I've cleared my temporary internet files, it is better, but the biggest problem is still after posting something. Opening a page isn't bad anymore, but after I post something, it seems to take longer than it should to post and move on.

    And thank you all for taking the time to go in and test it out.

    And I just noticed that, when I posted this last message here, it loaded immediately. That's how I want my site to load.

    These forums are hosted on a dedicated server, which is always going to produce a snappier response than anything on a shared server. BH doesn't offer dedicated servers to its customers, alas. Of course, a dedicated server costs a lot more than $7 a month!
