Head-fi is slow?!

Mixed feelings. It would be nice for a moderator to chime in. They have moved my thread so they clearly have seen it yet they don't take the time to answer here. :frowning2: I think I will send a PM to one of them.

I also thought it was originally my computers as the computer I used to use was a good 5 years old and the one at work I can use for internet is about as old, but I just changed up my personal laptop to a new one this weekend, and I'm still seeing the unresponsiveness kick in consistently for Head-Fi. And I remember clearly that this wasn't a problem that started when the forum switched formats but one that's been happening in particular, since late October. Everything seemed to be fine before I went on vacation at the start of October, and by the time I came back about a month later, Head-Fi definitely started to feel unresponsive at times.

Hmm.. tried visiting a site on the iphone 4, and once I entered a thread, there was noticeable lag in site scrolling.

Does this site have tapatalk or anything like it yet?

Can't say I notice the site in general being slow (I have a slow-to-claw ISP anyway), but the WYSIWYG editor just took forever to load (and in many cases, ti doesn't even load at all). I have switched to BB code editor now and it loads up much faster.

I got a reply from n_maher saying that he too is experiencing lag on this site but unfortunately he can't do anything about it. :frowning2:

I meanwhile tried Chrome (again) and a lot of the slowness is gone. Too bad it still has issues with posting pictures and other java stuff.... :frowning2:

Googling this very issue and landed on this thread; if it's any value... I've straight up stopped coming to head-fi primarily because the website is dog**** slow. I've organized head-fi meets, made a 2000$ vacation to end up at a head-fi meet... and my relationship ends with this great community because you have somehow regressed into dial up speeds on your forum. 
 
 
Head-fi is dead to me, and I miss it. I hope sometime in the future head-fi makes a change that improves it's performance, instead of making it worse... and I assume there's a track record of terribleness there because it's slowly gotten worse over time until it's now to the point that if I click on subscriptions or forums or whatever; I lose patience waiting and come back to it later. This is unnacceptable for a community driven website.
 
 
When head-fi has improved, I'll be back, and possibly even try to organize another omaha meet... but as it stands I can't even visit the site let alone have anything to do with it's community. Good job Jude, your leadership has driven this website straight into the ground. I understand money is important, you gotta pay server billls and pay for forum software licenses and stuff; but the website is so bad it's not even worth me visiting it anymore. Is that something you want?

So... not thinking that Head-Fi is dead to me or anything crazy like that... however, something really *is* wrong with the site.  I would guess that for about a week now, response times to HTTP Get and Post are really, really L-O-N-G.  I am noticing this with both Google Chrome and Apple Safari from multiple locations w/ fast connections; and, other sites behave as expected.
 
Just an FYI...

Waiting for: cdn.optmizely.com
 
...whatever that is.
 
Again, just FYI.
