adyieldmanager.com is slooooooow

qbee42 · 08-17-2008, 04:59 PM

PC is slowing down again, and the culprit is once again the advertising. Every time I get a slow page load, it turns out the browser is waiting for ad.yieldmanager.com. I understand the need for advertising, but the ad company should have a responsive server, or the page load shouldn't be held hostage. I hope they get their act together.

The slow loading of the ads is really starting to annoy me. I try to be a team player and support the ad revenue for this site, but if it doesn't improve I'm going to block them. Sorry Danny.

ditto for slow...

I hit stop loading when it stalls, then go. It usually loads right up after that, PITA though.

I've contacted the ad company that represents us, and will see what I can do to have the ads load last on the page.

It's bothering me, too...

Thanks Danny. I don't like to complain, but sometimes the annoyance gets to me.

I haven't been able to access the site for the past 24 hours due to this. I finally shut off scripting so that I could get here again. It's locking up the browser on two different machines on different OS'es. I was resetting my modem it was so bad!This is counterproductive for the advertiser as I'm seeing no adds at all now...

Danny! Maybe that's why I have not been able to get into PC through IE7 since this AM. I finally got through using Firefox this evening. I have since tried IE7 on my other computers with the same error result. I'm running on a dedicated T1 with 1/2 of it dedicated to the internet. PC is the only site with the problem. An empty PC frame with the toolbar displays, nothing is active on the frame or toolbar, after waiting for several minutes, I did a refresh. Low and behold, every time I would do a refresh I would get a new ad page and it would hang there until I would do another refresh and get another ad. Then, when I just saw qbee42's post, I realized it was probably the same issue. I really need to use IE7 as my default browser since some of the sites that I use daily are not supported under Firefox.
Thank you in advance for any enlightenment that you can give me. It's just a pain having to go back and forth between FF3 & IE7. But at least I can get in. I was going into withdrawal. And a TRIPLE THANKS for the great job you're doing here on PC.

Seems better today... I don't have access to IE7, but can someone test for me?

There is always the possibility that it has something to go with filters or security software, except PC is the only site affected under IE7. It started to fail on my other computers at the same time, and it coincides with qbee42's post and I didn't change anything on the end although I am det up for auto updates. Still it's only PC that I having the problem with. If anyone out there has a clue I would appreciate any suggestions.

The real problem is that the page below the ad will not load until the ad is finished loading. Is this how the forum software works (top to bottom) or does the ad script used by the ad serving company cause the page load to wait? It would not surprise me if they have developed a script that halts page load until the viewer sees their ad.

If you solve this problem, it won't matter how long the ads take to load.

And yes, it is annoying
