More often than not, when I visit this forum, it often takes literally up to 2 or 3 minutes to load pages!? This includes main page and topic specific pages.
Although I'm on a dial-up connection which doesn't help, and with the exception of another similar forum where pages load very slowly as well, I can load pages of most other websites relatively quickly (depending on webpage size/content).
On monitoring data sent/received to this forum, data may not be received immediately. There is usually a LONG pause before data is received. And there would be another LONG pause before further data is received. This start and stop of data reception seems to go on for literally 2 to 3 minutes before pages are fully loaded.
Even submitting new threads and replying to existing threads can take awhile before there is a response from this server.
EDIT: Browser cookies and cache have been deleted/cleared, and system DNS has also been flushed, with no apparent improvement in page loading times.
Is there an issue with this forums server?
Is there anything that can be done to improve speed of access to forum pages?
EDIT: AS of today, November 27, delays are getting worse over the past few days to about 5 minutes now before the main page loads!?
