Geoffro Posted July 2, 2011 Report Share Posted July 2, 2011 Hi guys, . I have a very frustrating problem at the moment! It would appear that my forum is taking forever to load pages, half the time the page times out whilst trying to load. This is happening on both my home PC and work laptop, I am running firefox which i have always run, and it would seem that every other site i visit is fine. My forum is running IPB version 3.1.4, but im guessing this is irrelevant as it only seems to be happening to me and nobody else.... I contacted my host and they told me that everything seems fine with my VPS server. I am also running Cloud flare on my forum at the moment, but im sure it was happening before i had this on there.. Even more frustrating and confusing is, i seem to be the only one that this is happening to, have spoke to my admins and mods, and the forum is super quick for them.... It is not uncommon for me to wait for over a minute for a page to load on my forum, where as other sites are loading straight away! Can somebody on here PLEASE help me with this one? I am open to any advice or help i can get! Thank you in advance, Geoff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Management Michael Posted July 3, 2011 Management Report Share Posted July 3, 2011 Did is slow even with other skin? Yeah if you can would recommend trying the default skin for a few days. Just to rule in or out any buggy customizations. Even if the custom skin is fine it may be something minor you've changed. Right now it's loading fast for me. But can understand how frustrating it would be if your the only one with the problem. Any other computer you can try? Maybe try a different browser? If your familiar with command prompt, have you tried pinging your site? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems to be both my home PC and work laptop both different providers and OS, i run Firefox on both, did a test with IE last night, and it seemed a little faster but not by a great deal... I will try and get people to run the default skin for a few days if i can, that will be fun lol I am not familiar with command prompt and ping etc... Open to any other suggestions and advice, Thank you heaps!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geoffro Posted July 3, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 3, 2011 I have just gone over to the default skin, and its a LOT faster!!!!! :( but the default skin looks nowhere near as good as my custom skin :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
