I have been browsing and posting and looking at a lot of stuff on this site. But i have a cable internet connection and this site is extremely slow. Why is it so slow? It took me 2 minutes to post a reply in quick reply. And that was the loading time to get rid of the quick reply box. Not the time it took to get the post to show up.

This site has been super slow for me from day one of being here. I think a lot of it has to due with the fact that there are so many uses online at once and it kinda clogs things up.

That's my take.  

i don't know,,but it seems to have started doin this a couple weeks ago for me, one day all was good, and the next, sloooooooooooooow

Yeah, I don't think Eggxpert was expected to go this fast.

I know several forums that had to upgrade their databases and server to handle the traffic.

Gen[M]ay and HardOCP had the same issues .. and still do ... so many users. 

The site seems to speed up at night time when less users are online. 

Also, the server has to process Searches, updates stats , and various other information.

It has been so bad lately that I have actually been unable to post. Overall my poosts are a fraction of what I usually do because of the speed which sometimes times out.

We apologize for the lag on the site. We are aware of this and are working on the DB structure to get it fixed.

Please have patience as we take care of this issue.

Only seems slow sometimes.  Most of the time its acceptable :]

I have this problem for a long time

even browsing newegg it takes a "very" long time to load pages (it used to load so fast about a year ago, dont know what happened) ,

here its not that bad...

Thats very odd .. i had absolutely no problem entering this site. As a matter-a-fact it is probably the fastest loading site of the many sites i navigate to. I have Comcast high-speed cable internet by the way. (I think its like 11 mb/s)

I only have 0.75mbps here but I tried it at my school where they have 45mbps and the same slow loading time happened

 

Im not sure why its happening ... 

you are being pelted by cookies constantly. I wonder if turning off anti-spyware would speed it up. The big one they use is ad.doubleclick . It is a very common cookie. I have seen it around.

It appears that this isn't your average word exchange "dumb" forum.

FAQ

I often have to click on a link or a post button several times to get it to activate. 

I often submit a post then browse on another tab(s) in Firefox while Eggxpert decides to process the mouseclick.  Once I see that a new page has loaded, I come back.  It is very annoying.  This does not happen at all in Internet Explorer. 

I can believe cookies or Javascript is the reason.  I do everything I can to prevent sites like doubleclick from invading my computer. SpywareBlaster, Noscript, AVG antispyware, Spybot S&D resident are all running at the moment.  I also run Ad-aware regularly.

Na, it's my 28.8kb/s Dial-up connection eating away at all your bandwidth, I'm always loading a page so it's kinda busy.

 

  I guess any lag would go un-noticed by me unless it was very bad.

DIAL-UP RULES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 

    It's taking around an average of 35 seconds to fully load a page. I just checked my down speed and an getting 15 megs down. It is an irritation.

+1 for the slowness here.

i  have the same problem. appears it happens in the pm. in the am it's good. i have fast inerne . cableone on gulf coast. i think it's high usage.

for me i have trouble ordering stuff sometimes takes forever to load the checkout page am i the only one having this problem

To answer this question, I turn to whois information. I then checked Newegg Whois and with this information as a webmaster of my own 2 websites, they are hosted on different servers and it appears on different networks. Let me also point out that if you run a tracert which I did, the tracert shows many more "node hops" which are servers along the way your request must be sent to before getting to the end destination. Let me just give a simple example: My tracert to eggxpert.com registered as over FOURTEEN (14) hops (ICMP aka ping requests are restricted after that), however the tracert to newegg.com ended completely after EIGHT (8) hops meaning ICMP (ping) requests were allowed by the server.

This should give a clear picture of why the server is slower to process all requests. The two servers are in fact located on different Points-of-Presence (POP) with different backbone providers. The backbone to Newegg is "Global Crossing" or gblx.net which is a high quality provider whereas eggxpert.com is on charter, which is not necessarily bad, it just doesn't have quite as many POPs as Newegg so latencies/ping times are slower.

Hope this helps and Happy New Year,

If we could turn down some of the "Trend Collecting" (aka ad.doubleclick, Casale Media and whatever is at 172.16.66.67 etc...) I would imagine it would speed things up a little. It wouldn't be so bad if this was transparent but it freezes on this stuff.

I'm no webmaster c++ guru. I just see what is in front of me.
