Over the last week or so the QSS site has been unbearablely slow loading, before that it was as quick as all other connections. Could it be my browser or somthing along that line? has anyone else had this problem. I have fast broadband connection and all other sites with larger info. photo's etc load very quick so why would QSS start taking ages's to load. Sometimes it'll take 30-40sec just to change page in text only topic's. Any help on this issue would be great.

[UDLOOZ]

naa i have found it a bit slower... but i only have dial up..

[Benson93]

With the 'new' site changes going on I thought that this might have something to do with the slowing down of the site, the fact is that the QSS site is taking longer to load on my computer than before while all other sites and internet in general is still at high speed. Some people have noticed it slower (Im talking very slow my end) and some not slow. It very well might me my computer but why would it only be slow on QSS....Asking all computer minded members[u] what to change or fix for this problem. If it's not anything to do with the web host.

Just like if your car had a funny sound from it...I coud help by fault finding as I know a bit about cars. Eg.
1. where is it from 2. when is the sound made 3. when did it start making the sound....you get the idea

* Only QSS site
* Over the past two or so weeks
* Allways slow now all the time (was from time to time before)
Any help would be great as in it's current form it is unbearable.
Thanks

The site is hosted on a very fast PC and web connection, not likely to be a problem with the site. I pay a LOT of money for the web hosting so service should be of very high standard.

Now to answer your question, why would it be slow for you and no one else? Well, QSS is hosted on a PC based in the US so for your computer to connect to the web host it has to connect to go through probably a good 15 or 20 routers first. If one of those routers is over loaded or having issues your may experience some problems. Viewing another site in the US may and probably will use a different route depending on which backbone the destination host is at.

Try doing a trace route and see if there is any issues with the routers between you and QSS. To do this open up start button and click run. Type in the box 'cmd' and hit enter. In the DOS prompt type 'tracert qldstreetscene.com' and hit enter. You should see all the connections it has to make to get from you to the QSS web host with a responce time in miliseconds. Anything in Australia should be under 100ms hopefully and anything in the US should be under 400-500 or so. If you see any stars instead of response times it means it has timed out (over 3000ms) and is probably causing an issue. Normally you wouldn't experience an issue for days and definetly not weeks at a time but try it anyway. Alternatively maybe try deleting your cookies and browser cache.

Hope this helps.

Have you seen any improvements in the last week or so? I have made a lot of changes and it should be loading faster for you and everyone else also.
