Slowness of Priuschat Site?

robnich · 03-14-2008, 04:09 PM

I am new here, and love the site, which has already proven useful to me, and therefore feel a bit rude in asking about the slowness of the priuschat.com. I have a fast 10Mb/sec connection, but it may take up to 30-60 seconds for a priuschat.com page to load, and quite often they never load at all. This is not true of other sites I visit, which generally load pages in 1 or 2 seconds.

Is this a temporary glitch, or are there systemic problems here? Sorry to complain about such a useful FREE service -- seems a bit oafish of me.

I've noticed the same for posting and editing.

Me as well.

Check out oil (crude) status... Bloomberg.com: Energy Prices

It shouldn't be any surprise with a barrel priced so high that activity here has recently increased rather significantly.

Prius has become an even more popular topic lately.

There were some speed issues a while back, but the site has been better until the last few days. For the last two days, it's been so slow that I often close and do something else.

Slow for me too, but I think it's been that way for a few weeks, and especially slow the past 4 or 5 days. Also, sometimes I can't even get on in the early morning -- around 4 or 5 a.m. Eastern Time, as if maintenance is being performed. I don't know what's happening.

Yup, Thought it was just me or my machine, but it has been a bit slow on this site.
Puts me alittle at ease knowing it's not a Me Problem.

Slow for me too. For everything.

Yep, slower than it was a couple of months ago.

Maybe more traffic. I've also noticed that at around 04:05 EDT the site simply stops for five minutes.

It does this again about an hour later. I think that is maintenance.

Or maybe it's all the icons...

Definitely seems to have high points and low points. But overall, yeah, it's better on average than it previously was last year.
