redbullmarky Posted October 16, 2006 Share Posted October 16, 2006 after waiting nearly 40s for the page to finish loading (fast connection here), it didnt look so bad, but i was immediately greeted with a popup alert box and a popup to an adult site. also, despite the validation buttons, it doesnt validate.i'd have given it more time to critique but the popups and load times were really driving me nuts.cheers Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/24112-wwwamazingscienceoctopiscom/#findComment-109611 Share on other sites More sharing options...

redbullmarky Posted October 19, 2006 Share Posted October 19, 2006 hi waited a good 15-20 seconds for the site to respond. nothing happened apart from a little text appearing and i got tired waiting.seriously, i'd address this issue before anything else - you wont have anyone looking at your site if it's gonna continue to take this long to load.cheersMark Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/24112-wwwamazingscienceoctopiscom/#findComment-111275 Share on other sites More sharing options...

redbullmarky Posted October 29, 2006 Share Posted October 29, 2006 are you using some sort of free host supported by ads?this:http://www.top66.ro/voted/13926/3731is the "adult" page that popped up. ok, so its not a pure page of porn - but still. i didnt go to that site, i went to your site - to be amazed by science, not adult personals. if i recall, all i did was click on the 'home' link in your nav. seems to happen randomly rather than all the time. i wouldnt be surprised if the sheer amount of ads you've crammed into the page is the reason for such a slowdown. i'd love to critique your site - but out of principle, not when i'm getting popups of all sorts all over the place.get rid of that javascript popup (vote for us, etc). for that to appear every time the home page loads is annoying.

Amazing Science Posted October 30, 2006 Author Share Posted October 30, 2006 I took out that javascript... Does anyone see any popup now?And... I have a RSS feed on the Home page (it's down there, in the footer section). Could you please put the link ([url=http://www.amazingscience.octopis.com/asfeed.xml]http://www.amazingscience.octopis.com/asfeed.xml[/url]) into your feed reader and tell me how it works?One more thing: is there any way I could have a statistic to know how many people have my RSS feed in their feed readers?Thanks!

Amazing Science Posted October 30, 2006 Author Share Posted October 30, 2006 could you show me an example of a code that provides the feed and also gets the ip address of the machine that is reading the feed?i mean... in my site there's this line:<a href="[url=http://www.amazingscience.octopis.com/asfeed.xml]http://www.amazingscience.octopis.com/asfeed.xml[/url]"><img alt="" src="images/rss-available.gif" /></a>i don't really understand how you "feed" the reader... i don't know what script should i write...Can you help me with this?

redbullmarky Posted October 30, 2006 Share Posted October 30, 2006 this is where i first went when learning about dynamic RSS:http://tiffanybbrown.com/2005/12/22/dynamic-rss-feeds-using-php-mysql-and-apachethe above method basically works by discuising a PHP file as an XML/rss file by sending the appropriate headers. now that your "XML" file is actually a PHP file, you can add what you like to it.as for logging the IP, simply change the above code to suit your needs to store the value of $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'] in your DB/log file.

Amazing Science Posted October 31, 2006 Author Share Posted October 31, 2006 one more thing about the content...i'm planing to have images, sounds and videos included in my site. the question is: should i keep all that multimedia information in the database or should i keep it on the harddisk and only links to it in the database? which way is better?

Amazing Science Posted October 31, 2006 Author Share Posted October 31, 2006 [b]redbullmarky > [/b] In this case... I'll have to find (or implement) a good script for uploading files. I found some on the web, but not workin' or not as I would want them...On the other hand, I know how to display pictures in a php page, but I don't know how to do it for sounds and videos... Any ideeas / examples?[b]RibTime > [/b] True. It's just startin'... I made the skeleton of the website and now I'm learning a few more things to make them available on my site. I also have some content that will be uploaded and I'm negotiatig for some news packeges to be imported and displayed on my site. I read about Google Adsense and I thought I could try to learn about it too. There are many ads because i wanted to see how they work. The site is in a beta version. When I'll have it all done, you will barely see the ads...

redbullmarky Posted November 1, 2006 Share Posted November 1, 2006 try a different server/host. even if your site was poorly coded (not saying it is or isnt) it shouldnt really run that slow. seems more like the response times rather than the file sizes.
