Does Pelican freeze up all the time or is it my browser/connection?

When Pelican gets slow I have opened a second browser tab to another website (and it is lightning fast) so it must be Pelican. But hey, its free.

When mine did a go slow down the bottom of the page it said "waiting for googleadds". Or something like that. Advertisments from the gooogle site are slowing (mine) it down. Pelican itself is fine Dirty google LOL.

Latest Firefox on the home laptop and most client pc's. iPhone is Safari.

Wayne, I'm not trying to sound callous, it's just coming out that way...

I have been noticing various degrees of slowness for months and it does happen from more than one location. I also will open another tab and check other sites and they will open quickly. As for the iPhone, wifi is almost always turned off and I see the forums hang via the 3G network as well. This happens both with my 3G and the new 4. I have also seen threads pop up on the 911 tech side from time to time with the same issues.

I don't have any ideas, but it seems that a lot of us have similar issues out there.

My laptop is about 4 yrs. old. I'll keep the video in mind and try and get some footage.

Latest Firefox (work) and Safari (home). Same problems in both environments. The computers are less than 4 months old.

firefox started to suck for me. I got viruses. Now google chrome. Great features.

I'm using Firefox 3.6.8 on a Linux platform. I used to experience some issues that are similar to what Milt describes. However, since disallowing the following cross-site connections, I have not experienced any slowdowns or other issues.

I have seen it to, and at work we have a seriously fast pipe. As Paul indicted, it seems to be tied to external data trying to load.

Ditto.... get a "waiting for (external server)" quite a bit. Doing a refresh usually unhangs it.

[Jim Richards]

Thanks Wayne. Hopefully, these steps will make all the difference in the world.

[greglepore]

Seems much better today... thx Wayne!

[red-beard]

Just had a "Server Unavaible" notice

I can see these problems on IE and Firefox. I can see them on my home AT&T Business Class DSL and on a client's 20 MB direct connection to the Internet. It's Pelican. Sorry Wayne.

[nostatic]

No, the issue is page load, not how quickly a new post shows. In the past when I would click the toolbar icon for pelican (Firefox or Safari), sometimes the ball would spin (in the Firefox tab) but it would take awhile before the page loaded. It seemed like it was waiting for either google ads or the big board or ? I'm willing to bet that disabling the big boards and moving the google stuff out of the header will solve what most people were seeing.

[Geronimo '74]

It's very up and down over here, sometimes normal sometimes slooooooooowww...

Like nostatic said, it's more of a pageload issue but slow post loading also happens

[slodave]

Here's a little video.... It was actually hanging for about 5 secs or so, before I grabbed the iPhone.

Link removed - You might want to save the link, then watch it. It was cut off on my screen. I am going to remove the video in a couple of days.

[slodave]

That video was from tonight....
