HITECHTEAM Posted September 27, 2009 Share Posted September 27, 2009 Cache pages taking 3-4 minutes to load today. Gave up! Drinking "refreshments" and watching TV instead. Rather be cachin'! Link to comment
+Gitchee-Gummee Posted September 27, 2009 Share Posted September 27, 2009 Some days yes, mostly no. I guess it depends on numbers accessing, does it not? Link to comment
+Allanon Posted September 27, 2009 Share Posted September 27, 2009 Yeah the website has slowed majorly. It's everyday Not for me. On weekend afternoons, yes because everyone is logging trips for the weekend, but 95% of the time it's very fast. Link to comment
+ecanderson Posted September 27, 2009 Share Posted September 27, 2009 Seems exceptionally slow today, even for a nice weekend. Have been waiting what seems like forever for a PQ so I can get on the road and catch a few this afternoon. Link to comment

+TotemLake Posted September 27, 2009 Share Posted September 27, 2009 Everything is loading just fine for me. IN fact, it's quicker than normal. Perhaps I finally found the sweet spot? Link to comment
+Valentijn77 Posted September 27, 2009 Share Posted September 27, 2009 I find it also very slow, but only using it since this weekend. Thinking about goign premium, but I refuse to pay for a dead-slow site of course. With so many premium members (and merchandise/other sellings) there should be budget to improve on hosting/servers/website setup. Link to comment
+cmdrblop Posted September 28, 2009 Share Posted September 28, 2009 I've been thinking about the slowness, and it seems to me there are lots of ways Groundspeak could lighten the load on their servers: Offer an offline cache management tool like GSAK Design the tool to only load the stuff that's changed, rather than entire cache lists Same for Found Cache lists – only send me what's changed Improve the iPhone app to remember its state so you don't have to run as many searches When I do a cache search from the home page, let me see the results as a map immediately if I want, instead of showing a list first. I never look at the list, so it's a waste of CPU cycles and bandwidth. Let me filter out my finds and unwanted cache types from the search form itself, rather than only on the results page. (The Advanced search page is useless. Not that it's easy to write and support a desktop application, but it might be worthwhile for them. - Joe Link to comment
+StarBrand Posted September 28, 2009 Share Posted September 28, 2009 Wasn't slow for me at all over the weekend. Link to comment
+Team Cotati Posted September 28, 2009 Share Posted September 28, 2009 Does anyone know if there is a thread where the tech guys have offered any insight wrt what the 'Sunday Effect' is about? Link to comment
