The server moved earlier this week as you noticed. I need some feedback on whether the speed is acceptible and how it compares to the previous site (before Sunday). Is the speed comparible? Is there lag? Just need the FYI in the speed and availability department. Everything looks good, but I can't be sure without response.

Seems faster to me ...

Seems close to the same to me. Maybe a tad quicker. It is working fine.
Thanks JR!

The reason I need brutal honesty, is because I actually moved the entire site along with my other sites to my home office.. and actually built my own linux box, dns machine, have a cisco router and bought a second new machine for my normal use.. and I took great care in building the network, along with the web servers and everything.. and performance and bandwidth is the key element to the experience received while using this site.. everything seems ok.. but I wanted to be sure.
Thanks for the update..

Where did the ads go?
I had java turned off before, because the ads really slowed the site down ... when it seemed faster I turned Java back on, but still no ads

Thats the only thing that isn't working.. something quirky.. working on it today. Posted by Jack00SS (Member # 99) on :
Seems about the same to me. Posted by DaddySS (Member # 848) on :
I actually see an improvement. It's only been a couple of days so we probably need some more experience but so far so good.

I actually feel it's somewhat faster...and maybe more than just a little...we get jaded with our fast connections these days...

The site seems a bit faster. That may very well be a result of not having the advertisements running. What kind of line (ISDN, DSL, T1 etc...) are you running the site on? If it the same as before the upgrade, then I would not expect to see a huge increase in speed. Glad to hear you selected some quality hardware. The CISCO hardware is very high quality and reliablity is top notch.
Just curious, did you look at any of the Nokia High Speed Router equipment when making your decision? I work for Nokia and we are getting some very favorable reviews in the technical rags.

Actually,
I didn't expect it to go any faster, merely wanted to insure everyone wasn't seeing drastic slowdowns.
Thanks for the responses guys!

About the same to me. I am on dial up so everything is a little slow.

I'm on cable....seems to be the same.

looks about the same from here....

Text loads in about the same time, but photographs are painfully slow. When the indictor at the bottom of the browser window says 100% I usually hit the stop button. Most photos show up only as icons, but I've seen most folks' cars often enough.
Sometimes the "Sit tight, we're returning you" function does not work.
That said, the SLP board is just about the same, speedwise.
BTW, I'm using Netscape 4.76 on a UNIX box running HP-UX with a corporate T1 connection.
