My forum is being so slow!

Hi People,

I need some help.
My forum is being so slow that it does not load up at all.
I can't access anything.
Sometimes it's normal than most of the time it does not load at all.

That's the forum. Please help.

It's just my main forum that doesn't seem to be loading. It's irritating me because I need to finish renovating our new theme.

That's what I get when it doesn't load.

Hello,

It may be because of the large images you have on the forum, it indeed takes time for all the large images you have on the forum to be loaded, although sometimes it depends on the connection speed too. Wink

If ever in doubt check your Resources, see what the pills are showing in time loads. If you don't understand this just check out a few youtube videos or check out this helpful website

www.pingdom.com

Go to the tools and enter your Site it will give you all sorts of information

Is this solved? The site loads fine for me.
Some of the images take a longer time to load as their size seems to be big.

Could it possibly be your internet service? I know when I use at&t internet I cannot Access one forum but access all the others.

I'm with the other guys here i have took a look at your site and it shows that the pic's that you have on the main forum is running really slow
if you look at the bottom left or right of your screen when trying to open your forum your see an address search box this tells you what sub address is running at that time it shows that some address is running really slow and that is your problem.

Try removing them pic's and see if that helps or try adding them to photobucket

I suggest to add the images to servimg itself. Wink

Even using Servimg the site will still slow down, you have to have an understanding of how a website is loaded. Which is why I use pingdom. com it helps a lot reading what is loading and how long. Images are number one reasons why websites are slow as well as poor coding and not minimizing your sites CSS,HTML, JS.

Thanks
