    Unhappy PhotonLexicon is *SLOW* tonight...

    What gives? The site is reponding really slow. It started about 6:30 PM (Eastern Daylight Time) and is getting worse.

    Anyone else notice this? I checked a handful of other sites and they're all as fast as ever. (I'm on a cable modem, btw.) But PL is taking 30-45 seconds to load a page, and I've had a few of them time out!

    I noticed that we had 83 folks on-line... Maybe a few of the registered users were doing some heavy-duty searching. Still, I thought the site could handle more than that. (Don't remember anyone complaining about slow responses when all the HackaDay.com dudes shoed up to check out the violet laser pointer thread...)

    And all my other sites are just as fast as ever. Hmmm. We'll see if it gets better by morning. (Like you said - could be a bad hop somewhere, but you'd think after over an hour of this it would be routed around by now...)

    Very slow here as well. The site is usually pretty quick, but I'm getting about 20-30 seconds between switching pages. Reminds me of dial up!

    Cool

    David;

    Yeah, dial-up... That's exactly what I was thinking. Also, I noticed we're up to 95 total users on line right now. Wonder if the site is buckling under the load? Something to look into I guess.

    Wow, I'd hope not! I noticed that the most users online was yesterday, 180 something.

    Was slow for me too yesterday. That's usually a local ISP webcache thing, but not in this case cos other stuff was fast. I can't try guessing why it was slow though, I don't know what system it's hosted on, or anything about what other services that host might be handling.
