Different Browsers, Changes in Site Slowdown I am sure that you are aware of this, but just wanted to post my results nonetheless. And perhaps some of the members will want to switch browsers for the duration of the site slowdown to improve performance.
Internet Explorer is the worst for viewing this site at the moment. The slowdown in loading the site is *extremely* noticeable. The Hot Coupon World Logo will load and then the rest of the site (forum and other ads) can take anywhere from 20-50 seconds to load.
Using Opera last night I barely noticed any slowdown at all. Not much more than just my normal lag.
Netscape, that I just tried now, has a bit of a slowdown, but nowhere near as bad as IE. The Logo and the new ad to the left load almost immediately, and then the rest of the forum loads shortly thereafter.
So those of you who are experiencing problems that are starting to really get on your nerves, try a different browser if you can. At least until the good folks at HCW get the bugs worked out. |
