Bitcointalk takes too long to load.

[dothebeats]

It's been days already since I first encountered this problem and until now, bitcointalk.org seems to take forever to load. Tried different browsers, clearing cache and cookies, flushing DNS cache, restarting my router but none of which seemed to help me with this problem. I can watch videos on HD without a problem, load other webpages within a second but loading bitcointalk is a different thing. What could be the cause of this slow loading? It's kinda annoying when you write down a long post and submit it only to be greeted with a "The webpage is unavailable" screen (and not to mention that the post isn't automatically saved to the drafts section).

I haven't been having a loading problem; everything's been going relatively normally. Have you tried going on BitcoinTalk via a different WiFi connection?

I'm on about 2 weeks now. Pages part load, load but then say they're not loaded completely or never respond to page requests at all.

Same here, generally when it comes i try to reload the page or else i give up and reconnect after few minutes.

I encountered this kind of promblem also the loading of is so slow and sometime it apper the 502 what I do is refresh again until it will go back to the normal.

Perhaps I get the 502 Error (or something of the sort) once in a while, but it's very rare in occurrence in my forum browsing experience. I get the error maybe once every few days. As for slowness, BitcoinTalk has been loading fine for my end.

There were also reports like this with the old server which was located on a different continent, had quite a different setup, etc. My guess is that Internet connections between certain regions just kind of suck, and you don't see it all too often because big websites have servers located all over the globe (unlike the forum's single server).

There are occasional problems related to the database being somewhat overloaded. Every now and then you'll see a 502 error or a "Database error!" or a page that takes ~30 seconds to load. But this seems to be different from the sort of persistent connection issues that people are describing here.

I have this issue too ... Always gotta refresh the page , or retype in the forum url..

edit: I also seem to have problems specifically with bitcointalk especially last few days. But my ISP is really bad so my conclusions/tests are unreliable. My internet hops thru HK. It seems to be better with US VPN. So my conclusion would be that it affects HK regio, but I don't know what location the ppl ITT are from.

Isn't it a problem in itself to declare that entire countries simply can't get good access to the server? In the UK we have two national networks and that's it, you're either one or the other and both will externally route the same way.

im also having slow connection on bitcointalk forum for about 1 week now but my connection to other sites is kinda normal on speed

[Sir_lagsalot]

This has never happened to me, unless you count me using bitcoin talk in an underground carpark. Even with my crappy 2G the page runs fine.

[iCan]

I confirm that! I also some time's have loading problems!

I also experienced the same thing back then--pages take too long to load so I should reload the page to load it smoothly. In some cases, I will load a page with either a half-loaded page or, or a basic HTML webpage without the CSS elements. It's kinda annoying, though, but as long as it is still accessible, I'd be glad to visit this site more often. Also, may I know where the new server is located? Oh and by the way, is there a .onion website for bitcointalk?

[dothebeats]

Basically this one. Most of the time, I'm being brought to a half-loaded page.

EDIT: It's not even half.

I've had that one a few times, actually. Instead of being able to see the first post, though, all I see is the advertisement. I'm not sure if that error is linked to the loading one though.

[winspiral]

For me the loading is generally most of time good.
But sometimes it is impossible to load...but this is not too often and I have almost never problems once connected.

i was having this problem last week , idk what i did but it seems i fixed it somehow by resetting my router.
if that still doesnt work try using a different browser.

I dont think that so many peoples have problem with connection, all the more I think we are from different countries!

Meh. Tried using Chromium, Mozilla, Opera, and Google Chrome but still the problem persists. Maybe it has something to do with my connection's communication with bitcointalk's server. Tried also flushing my DNS cache and still the problem is there. If it can be fixed, great, but if not, I have no choice but to browse with some delays and other issues.
