Why are the WBF servers so slow? PLEASE READ FOR FINAL UPDATED ANNOUNCEMENT

[Steve Williams]

Ive submitted a ticket with our carrier to see if they can find any reason why it is slow at your end . South Africa has a similar issue for reasons we have no idea'

our web host has verified there are no server issues and they stated this,......"The problem appears to be related to geolocation-based connectivity."

Im in Western Australia Ron. The site has always been slow compared to others, ever since I joined, but it's getting slower and slower. I dont use VPNs etc but I have tried with a VPN on in the event this actually speeds it up, but alas, no.
I was even copying/pasting an image from one thread to another earlier on today and it came back saying "image too big" - but its already on the forum!
Would be good to see things improve as I WANT to be more involved!

I normally come in from WA as well @Hydrology , but it has been slow in the UK too.
I said a short prayer at the status for JC Maxwell but it has not helped.

Maybe time to look for a new web host and designer?

It has nothing to do with eitherAFAIK

OK but I'm in USA and there are always slow days....so the Geo-location seems suspect
I'm on FIOS fiber, 1G plan and the only site I regularly visit with issues is WBF...

Sane for me.

very strange. never have had an issue. based in US but travel a lot. currently in Asia, as quick as ever

 

[Steve Williams]

I have had zero issues “lately”

No issues at all for the past couple of days.....smooth a silk on my end.

Prior to that I had about 2 days of "weird" things going on but they have since resolved themself after the server reset.

Very slow off and on at my end for a few days now.

For “what’s best” it seems ironic that it’s so piss poor. This morning it’s really bad, but it’s later evening US time.

Crickey! One would think that they’d have fixed it by now.
