Hi, I have a small problem with my site! My site (http://www.techhamlet.com) Seems to be loading fast when i check with GTmetrix and Pingdome.. But, in my side, it takes some time to start the loading process! I mean.. when i put the URL and hit enter.. In chrome, the rotating icon goes slowly for some time (This time period is slower than other sites) and then loads fast... Its like it takes time to resolve DNS.. (Im using Open DNS in my home PC) Any one know whats happening? Any help? Thanks
Well from looking at the code you are connecting to other websites and having to wait on those DNS resolving also. http://feeds.feedburner.com http://cdn.techhamlet.com (This still counts as its a sub domain) http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show_ads.js etc I also seen something about Google fonts when the page was loading on my browser. Linking to pages are fine but importing data from external sources will slow it down.
Tentwenty is most likely right. But even so, your site took less than 3 seconds to load completely for me. How long has it been taking for you?
Apart from your many graphics object plus things mentioned by tentwenty, I think your hosting has some issue. They may oversold the space and cause your websites to be slow loading.
Is everyone else actually experiencing the same problem? I am on yet another Internet connection today, and his site is blazing fast for me. That's 4 completely different Internet connections I have tested it on, and it's as fast as any other site. Let's not go blaming the hosting company here, without having any clue as to what is actually happening. EAPubs, I see you are located in Sri Lanka. Your server is located at ThePlanet datacenter in Texas. I'm thinking that your location in relation to the server is probably the issue you are experiencing. It is going to take longer for you to connect to the website than it would if you were in, say, the US.
I do experience the same issue for sometime.I have contacted my Host provider that my site was loading very slow.They told me they did not find any problem from their side and ask me to chek my site from other internet provider.When i checked my site in my friends PC it was loading fast.
Website is also loading slow for me. Its not wonder why is loading slow for me, im in europe, your hosing is in texas and i have 250 ms ping to your website. i also found another site hosted on same server ip and also loading slow for me www.sumagaasapuwa.com. My vote goes for bad hosting.
Ummmmm...like I mentioned, it is probably that you guys are thousands of miles away. The other site is blazing fast for me too. I have no idea why you guys insist on blaming the host, when the site is perfectly fast for us here in the US. It's not bad hosting at all.
I mean bad location, not company. But i just traced hostgator.com (as i can see his website ip is registered at hostgator) and ping from me to hostgator.com which is also in texas is 150 ms, to his website still 250ms and he is also in texas. hmmm...
Its took me 10s to fully load your website. I'm on 10Mbps Metro E line. Just checked and you hosted at Retrieving DNS records for techhamlet.com... DNS servers ns2117.hostgator.com ns2118.hostgator.com No wonder,HG server is too slow.
I would disagree. I'm pinging fine from London Ontario. Looking closer at your website it looks as though you've got a lot of optimization to do. I cant post links yet but here: webpagetest.org/result/110120_7C_R4M/
I just visited the website and found it has a fast loading time. Have you got problem solved? Or just switched into another hosting company?
May be there is, bad web hosting, bad optimization and more issues in your website. so better you should check the uptime speed and bandwidth of your website. or change the hosting provider who has great uptime and high bandwidth.
