Speed Problems

[gazza]

One of the hardest things with running the site is keeping the speed at a fast and sustainable rate for every second of the day. If people are having speed problems can you let us know in this thread with the page you are trying to view and your current location (City/Town and Country).

Thanks

The logging on page is the worst, it seems to take ages, and then the My ebid page. I am in Bradford Yorkshire, using Virgin broadband.

The other thing is I thought that this was a UK site, but when asking new members to join it says

Haven't registered yet? Add your email address below to join eBid, its free and only takes a few seconds. Not from UNITED STATES? You can still join one of our other eBid communities. Go to our frontpage to see what other territories eBid currently operates in

This gives the impression that the site is based in USA

Just taken 20 seconds to switch between one tab and another in my ebid. Next tab 16 seconds, then sped up. Not huge waits but far more than the usual "instant" response.

St Austell, Cornwall if that has an bearing. FFox with adblock and script suppression (ads only).

I have just tried searching for 'Doctor Who' and it took 15 seconds to change pages. Then I am still getting the following error, rather than search results (have posted details of this on another thread):
Error : Read on for more informationDescription : You'll need to add some more criteria to be able to search, use the form on the right to try again.
I am in Kent using Virgin on a 10mb cable.

Majorly slow when trying to access most areas of my eBid

In Nottingham, IE7, Sky broadband

[raindropsies]

Really really slow again when listing. Taking over a minute a page when listing book info

Reached two minutes on trying to load somebody's auction from a link in their plug post, and gave up. Other pages on other sites on other tabs loading fine in the same period. BT ADSL, Firefox 3, St Austell.

Do you still want this stuff?

Just to put my two penn'orth!

When you started this thread, the only trouble I had had was the picture uploading process when listing - often 'timed out'.

Now EVERYTHING on EVERY SITE is taking longer. and often hanging so that I have to reboot.

I have cleared my cache, run antivirus, spyware check, and registry boosters, and checked my connection - all perfectly OK.

Anecdotally it' seems to be the same for a few of my friends in this area.

I'm in Bedford - using IE via Virgin (NTL) cable BB at the lowest rate.

I don't think it's eBid's fault!
