Vibe Non-UK Vibers, is your ISP throttling Vibe?

[BleedsBlue]

Not trying to exclude anyone here, but I'm under the assumption that UK ISPs would be friendly to domesticly hosted sites. Vibe always took a second or two longer to connect, presumably due to the site's information not being stored on US servers. It's gotten bad in the past couple months for me, anyway.

Vibe takes between 8 and 16 seconds just to connect and load initially, and between 3 and 5 seconds per page thereafter. This is on a dedicated 30Mbps connection. I hope, for everyone else, it's just a problem on my end (I live out in the middle of nowhere, maybe it's my shoddy rural provider)

Has anyone else noticed anything like this?

This sounds very strange. I have had no issues but you are right that the servers are based in the UK so may take longer for you. However that long shouldn't be occuring.

 

I will move this to The Boardroom.

yea you are right on this,its takes about 8 seconds to load fmhvibe.co.uk alone but the site is fast generally.

I have noticed it too. But it was not the case before. Only since a few day. Other websites go well.

[Dec]

Could you provide us with a bit more information? When are you experiencing heavy load? How long does it last?

We have tested the site from our side and it loads fairly fast. Is it the whole site or some particular parts?

Dec, try using cloudflare, its free and quick worldwide

[Dec]

We are testing the server and getting no similar results, could you answer my above question please. Thanks

[BatiGoal]

The site's been quite slow for me all day both at home and in the office. Especially visiting the articles in "featured". Takes 2-3min to load that page.

I'm in South East Asia btw and never had issues with the site until today.

[BatiGoal]

It's 7 pm here now so internet traffic is nearing its peak and it's painfully slow.

Feature page won't load anymore just blank after 3min and the last post (up here) I submitted took a minute to get processed.

 

Maybe it's just today.

[Callum98]

It's also slow here for me and I'm in the UK.

[Dec]

I have submitted a new ticket to the host for investigation. Thanks for your patience.

[BatiGoal]

It's been bad all day but perfect right now. Thanks.

[Dec]

Thanks, the problem seems to be intermittent so I would appreciate any feedback upon any changes. We are trying to diagnose the cause.

No point really using cloudflare as it caches websites, as vibe is pretty active visitors may loose out on up to date content/posts.

This should now be fixed, please let me know if this isn't the case.

Still slow for me.

[Dec]

That could be your Internet. Our hosts have found a correlation with something we recognised as the issue and believe to have fixed it. If it is still slow for others though then I will go back to them. Though the issue should be for all and not just non-Uk.

I'll wait awhile sure its possibly just my connection. Cheers

[JustM1kePlays]

No problems my end!

[dirtboy]

My internet is slow in general, but Vibe is no worse than anything else. This is in Australia

[BleedsBlue]

Sorry, ladies and gents. I've been away for a bit, work has been incredibly busy and I've had little free time to get back to this.

Whatever the issue was, it does not seem to be repeating itself. Response speed is what I'd expect. A tiny bit longer to respond than domestically (for me) hosted sites, but generally no more than 1-2s to load the main site and less than a second loading any pages once the site is loaded up. I apologize for any undue concern I may have caused the administration.

[Dec]

No worries, your alert meant it got investigated and fixed so thank you.
