M$1.00  Funded By Mahalo ? |  May 01, 2009 10:31 PM

Why is Mahalo so slow?

Anyone else notice this? It takes a long time to load pages and there is a lag when you click links. It has been like this since I started using the site.

Don't get me wrong, I really like Mahalo, but the slowness is very frustrating.

From your question, I clicked My Profile, a link by Google Ads under your question and a link to the right side of your question. I did not notice any slowness.
Then I clicked See All, All Time to the right. Okay there. Then I clicked All Categories under Categories. No slowness there either.

Agreed, seems a lot quicker lately than it used to be. Time to upgrade from 56k.

What browser do you use, what OS do you use, how much memory do you have, when was the last time you cleared your cache?

Firefox, XP, 512. I haven't cleared my cache for a long time. Maybe I will try that.

Also, is there anyone else sharing the network? Are you connected with wireless, if so, is it secure? Let me know, if it is still slow I have a few more suggestions you could try.

I am connected to a router with 2 other computers, but usually I am the only one online. It is not wireless.

I cleared the cache and it seems to be working a little better, but still slower than I would like.

This site is very slow when I view it from work. It takes ~10 seconds between pages. It's a large 1000+ company with a very fast connection to most other places.

I am on IE6 and do not have the option to change that. However, it doesn't slow me down anywhere except for a few sites (Mahalo is one)

Trailvoy.com (trailblazer and envoy forum) and Spacedaily.com. are two others that are slow. On the other sites I think it might be their advertisements. On Mahalo though, there isn't that much advertisement so I assumed it was the site structure.

Thanks for your answer. Yeah I think it is either something with the site and how it reacts to my computer/internet settings. I'm still sticking with it, I just have to be more patient as pages take longer to load.
