Is it just me, or is anyone else finding that MoneyAm is extremely slow in putting its pages up? I don't have any problem with other "similar purpose" sites.
Is there a problem, or is it a new policy to get people to join the paying elite?

thanks kosyboy

Just a suggestion. Why don't you guys try pinging am's DNS to trace the route and see if there's any obvious delay along the way?

check you out hildred getting all techy on their asses....you just googled that didnt you?

Good idea. There's no obvious problems showing for me using the tracert or ping commands in Windows, but the sites page loads are still very slow for me. Real time quotes which I get through Quotetracker (from MoneyAM) seem to be fine, as do other sites.

Hi everyone,

I'm just adding to Ian's posts here to confirm that we are looking into this performance issue that's being experiences by a small number of users. As part of an upgrade procedure, a number of new servers have been deployed since last Friday and the assumption is that the problem is somehow related to this deployment. However so far we are unable to replicate the issue or find any server mis-configurations or consistency amongst the environments which those that have the problems are working. We will continue to investigate the problem and I'm sure we will find a solution. Please bear with us on this.

Thanks
George

All,

Can those of you who are having issues with page loading times please try again now and let me know if there is an improvement, George has made some changes here which we hope will help,

Ian

Yes it is much faster now!

Well done George it seems to be back to normal

Awesome. Perhaps a little too fast now - everything is just a blur! ;o)
Thanks to George.

I don't know about speed - but the posting box is now about half an inch x two and a half inches!

It's the ad to the right of the posting box which is doing it. Do you need a screenshot?

Hi,

You're right, it is the advert that makes the problem. Hit the refresh button or F5 to refresh cached data and it should be corrected.

George

In that case - ignore the snap I've sent you :-)

Fine again now - thank yoju.

Yup, back to normal speed now thank you all.

A whole better, thank you
