What happened to this site? Boy, is it slow.

 

do like I do, check it as your last site review after you use ccleaner

 

Slow issue occured at 1:30 PM CST, but this happens pretty much all the time. The forums are very slow to load.

Up until a few months ago, I used to visit this site everyday since 2005.. Since its so slow, now I'm lucky if I check I bother to check it once a month.

 

i hope it's ok to post this tip:

use firefox with ad blocker plus add-on, or extension.
i'm using 3mb dsl and i bet i can load clublexus faster than your cable modem.

 

I'm new here and I have to say this is the slowest forum site I've been on.

 

I'm seeing sub-second page loads here in the Milwaukee-Chicago area, as fast or faster than most sites I visit.

 

10-60 second page loads in the last day or so

It looks like Level3 has a few poor routing decisions in there. Also I'm not sure why you would want to disable pings, that's what makes it take so long once it starts saying Request timed out.

I am on the web for hours each day. Have a decent connection speed.
But out of all the websites and forums I go to Club Lexus almost not worth it.
Great site and use to come here at least once daily if not more. Now at least try to limit to once a month.


I have yet to find a site that is this slow. I can understand you need ads to pay for site but this is almost ridiculous.


I have to wait up to a minute sometimes for all the video ads that start playing before I can even scroll down the first page.


Am I being unreasonable??
Must be others that just bother using the site much unless they have to.
Would more people using it allow higher charge for non video ads and make everyone happy.


Am I unreasonable??


Otherwise a great site, just wish it was worth the hassle to use it more.
