GOF and Bacall Posted March 19, 2011 Share Posted March 19, 2011 Yup. Starting to feel like the old days when smart folks would wait until Tuesday to log their weekend finds. Quote Link to comment
+rickeyericsson Posted March 19, 2011 Share Posted March 19, 2011 Yup. Starting to feel like the old days when smart folks would wait until Tuesday to log their weekend finds. Seems to be a problem wich come and goes from day to day. What is the problem? To small servers? Quote Link to comment
+mpilchfamily Posted March 19, 2011 Share Posted March 19, 2011 7 new caches near me and i can't get to the pages to view them. At least the GS app isn't slow pulling up the caches. Quote Link to comment
knowschad Posted March 19, 2011 Share Posted March 19, 2011 Ahhh, so it isn't just me! Horribly slow. Don't tell me the site has already outgrown its new infrastructure! Quote Link to comment
+Team Yianni Posted March 19, 2011 Share Posted March 19, 2011 OMG.. Its no longer in English.. Is it getting Hacked??? Quote Link to comment
+Chokecherry Posted March 19, 2011 Share Posted March 19, 2011 Yesterday it was slow for me as ell and today it's incredibly slow. Really this has been an on/off problem now for 2 weeks for me. Quote Link to comment
+oaknest Posted March 19, 2011 Share Posted March 19, 2011 Reminds me of when I started caching and using geocaching.com took a lot of patience. Over the last couple years it got much better. Then over the last week it got much worse. Whatever you changed a week or two ago, undo it! Quote Link to comment
+Gitchee-Gummee Posted March 19, 2011 Share Posted March 19, 2011 Yes, of and on, but notice that it is the weekends that are s-l-o-w. Quote Link to comment
knowschad Posted March 19, 2011 Share Posted March 19, 2011 Ahhh, so it isn't just me! Horribly slow. Don't tell me the site has already outgrown its new infrastructure! To quantify what I mean by "slow", I did some timing. An average of 30 seconds to open any new page. Quote Link to comment

knowschad Posted March 19, 2011 Share Posted March 19, 2011 It would be very helpful if others would also post the time it takes to load a page. As I said above, for me its about 30 seconds this morning. Sometimes more, sometimes less, but that's about the average. "Slow" is a very relative term. Quote Link to comment
+dfx Posted March 19, 2011 Share Posted March 19, 2011 "Slow" is an understatement. I'd say half dead. Quote Link to comment

+MoonCatKDT & Peanut Posted March 19, 2011 Share Posted March 19, 2011 49 seconds. That is insane compared to the instant results we are used to getting Quote Link to comment
knowschad Posted March 19, 2011 Share Posted March 19, 2011 49 seconds. That is insane compared to the instant results we are used to getting I'm glad I ran my PQ last night, but I'm going through it this morning (or, trying to) to refine it. I'm finding that the map is even losing track of my finds and my hides, showing them as unfound caches. Quote Link to comment

I'm finding that the map is even losing track of my finds and my hides, showing them as unfound caches. I am attempting to use the map to look for a nice area to go out today but it looks like that's not happening. If i fiddle with the map at all i have to wait another 20+ seconds for it to redefine what we are looking for. And God help us if I try to click on a cache!

+humboldt flier Posted March 19, 2011 Share Posted March 19, 2011 (edited) Yesterday it was slow for me as ell and today it's incredibly slow. Really this has been an on/off problem now for 2 weeks for me. Ditto here. Could this somehow be related to various Widow applications being out??

+StarBrand Posted March 19, 2011 Share Posted March 19, 2011 40 to 70 seconds per page load --- yikes!!! For a few years now TPTB have insisted that the problem is not the number of or speed of the servers or the connection speed or any location based issues. The problem as they frame it is the underlying architecture of the website design and software. It simply is not capable of scaling to the growth any further. I have seen plans to move to a whole new type of underlying database and tools to help speed things up again. Quote Link to comment

Slow is relative good point. 30 seconds while your drowning might as well be 30 minutes. Meanwhile 30 seconds of running flies by when you jog. Quote Link to comment
+The Jester Posted March 19, 2011 Share Posted March 19, 2011 I'm not seeing it. Cache pages and map pages load in a second or two, if not faster. Maybe being "right next" (a few miles) to the servers helps? Quote Link to comment

Yup all better here as well - curious - sort of speaks to a technical probelm or some kind of testing. Quote Link to comment
+DragonsWest Posted March 19, 2011 Share Posted March 19, 2011 A bit slow, but I'm waiting on eBay's customer non-support (multiply estimated wait time by 2 or larger number) Ran some PQs and look at one map and then I'm out. Guess Geocaching is catching on, eh? Quote Link to comment
