up and down and slow...

moosio — Tue, 27 May 2008 22:10:24 +0000

for the last 15 minutes, connections from 151 front and 255 ferrand and around the GTA (Toronto) to my website have been extreamly slow and once from the admin, I recieved the ‘temporary error’ try again…

this was right after I launched my twitter/facebook/msn campaign… i’m very concerned about reliabilty.

Can someone report back?

(it must be a server issue? my servers are right around the corner from you guys, from where I attempted to connect from)

Please advise,
Thanks

Everything, nothing in particular… Was there no reports today of poor performance?

We’re experiencing slow loads as well, on many domains:

closer inspection shows that this seems to be the offending script link:
/services/stats/visit/hit?js&a=87882&offset=-18000

it’s taking a VERY long time to load, holding up the rest of the page.

For reference see attached screenshot of firebug net inspector.

Can someone look into my site: http://shop.liferattle.ca (Still very slow, seems like the external asset URL’s always hold up the page)

Very frustrating.. as I always have to click refresh… I feel sorry for the DNS server, all these lookups in every page.

Loads fine from my location, and Pingdom says it all loads in ~1.3 seconds
