TeddyKiller Posted April 15, 2010 Share Posted April 15, 2010 Hello. I use PHP on my site, as obviously. Some sites, lets say facebook, runs fast for them. However.. my site runs slow. Is there any reasons for this? Anyways I can speed it up for loading? etc. Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/198693-slow-loading-site-for-some-people/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
EthanV2 Posted April 15, 2010 Share Posted April 15, 2010 Maybe your server is slow. Do you hose the site yourself or do you pay for it? If your site is slow for everyone, then it's an issue with your hosting.

TeddyKiller Posted April 15, 2010 Author Share Posted April 15, 2010 It's slow for some users. I contacted the host, they gave me a tool to use for traceroute. Next time an issue pops up, I'll ask the person to traceroute, and give me the results. Take it from there. Theres a few issues that could be causing the problem, Users computer, or connection between computer and server. So packet loss, which is where the traceroute comes in. At the moment, one of the people who the site crashed on.. works perfectly fine now. So.. it could be just there ISP too. It's a paid hosting. So I dont host the site.

teamatomic Posted April 15, 2010 Share Posted April 15, 2010 If its a table heavy site and it uses one table to enclose the entire page the difference could be perceived as IE will wait for the entire table to fill before it displays where firefox and other browsers will display as it loads.

TeddyKiller Posted April 15, 2010 Author Share Posted April 15, 2010 No, it's not a table heavy site. Atleast.. it doesn't come across as that. I have 11 tables, and the table with the most collums, has 15 collums maximum (Haven't counted, but there isn't anymore) The speed it takes for some people to load the site.. just isn't real. It basically doesn't load at all, and I think it was done on Firefox. I can't duplicate the issue, so.. I'm putting it down to the PC for now..

mrMarcus Posted April 16, 2010 Share Posted April 16, 2010 i have got several sites hosted on HG, and they are fast. too many factors are in play to give you any reasoning. as was mentioned, if you executing poor code on heavy database sets, that would be an issue. maybe you need to fork out the extra dough to upgrade to VPS ('cause if you're on a shared server, which you probably are, you're sharing bandwidth/server resources with a whole bunch of other sites on that server. and if those sites are poorly written, your site will suffer). or maybe your internet is just plain ol' slow.

oni-kun Posted April 16, 2010 Share Posted April 16, 2010 This should bring a few answers on your site's performance to light. Are you sure it's not your client?

cs.punk Posted April 16, 2010 Share Posted April 16, 2010 I find javascript slows my site down allot... Well compared to PHP that is. Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/198693-slow-loading-site-for-some-people/#findComment-1042909 Share on other sites More sharing options...
TeddyKiller Posted April 16, 2010 Author Share Posted April 16, 2010 Thanks for the replies. Yeah, I'm a shared server. I'm wanting to go to VPS.. I can afford it, but I've got other things to save up for. After, I will consider VPS. Which would be a 99% Yes. I understand what your saying with shared servers too. I didn't know this can have an affect though. Maybe this could be 1 reason, ISP for another reason, and the computer for another reason. All bundled together to give 1 massive.. freeze.
