Is the site slow???

[Sitkaspruce]

It is still slow, but only for this site. All other sites are fast and load no problem. I can hit a page here, go to the other BC hunting site, load a page there and read the first two posts before this page finishes loading.

It is only at home though. Work is faster, but still not as fast as the other sites.

Telus does not have a solution and will not replace the router because all others sites are still fast. Maybe my scan, AVG, is scanning all the google sites before loading the page

From a user standpoint.

1. Try something like RegVac or CC cleaner to clean up your registry
2. Try Lavasofts Ad-Aware to remove any spyware or other garbage.
3. Delete your cookies and temporary Internet files.
4. Reset your computer

Malware Bytes is a great removal tool but be careful with it, it's primarily used for cleaning deeper (viral) infections on your pc and depending on what virus/spyware you have there are different processes to remove it correctly.

The above steps will fix most slow loading issues though.

On the server end of things, This websites software relies on MYSQL databases to store and retrieve information, threads, posts, etc...

By default LiquidWeb ( HBC web host) limits the amount of simultaneous connections that can occur to the database at any one time. I think by default it's like 50. If we max that out, you basically have to "wait in line" for a connection to be dropped, so another can begin. We are talking milliseconds here for the most part, aside from the busiest of times.

Marc or Spink can phone the 1-800# that LiquidWeb has for support and have the MYSQL connections increased to something like 200 or more. That should speed things up. And the support at LiquidWeb is outstanding... Never wait more then 2 minutes for an english speaking technician who will be on the issue immediately.
