kevin_b.2 Posted September 1, 2010 Share Posted September 1, 2010 <p>My website is hosted by Zenfolio. However my direction service that leads to it is hover.com<br> I can't figure out why my site is sooo slow sometimes. Like dial up slow. Is it Zenfolio or hover.com. Anyone know how i can figure it out?</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sknowles Posted September 1, 2010 Share Posted September 1, 2010 <p>Loaded in a few seconds for me (West coast) about 8:40 am PDT. Check your connection speed (a good place to test is <a href="http://www.speedtest.net/">Speedtest</a>).</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manrique_molina1 Posted September 1, 2010 Share Posted September 1, 2010 <p>Loaded in about 5 seconds the first time here in San Jose, Costa Rica, noon EST. But of course I am on a T3 at work. I will try on my home computer tonight using 1 mbps.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cabbiinc Posted September 1, 2010 Share Posted September 1, 2010 <p>Yeah, once there's a website to look at it seems to load fine here. I like the layout and I don't see anything about it that would be bandwidth hungry. Simple, straight forward, professional looking.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spearhead Posted September 1, 2010 Share Posted September 1, 2010 <p>Loads fast for me too, maybe you should try it from a different location.</p> Music and Portraits Blog: Life in Portugal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevin_b.2 Posted September 1, 2010 Author Share Posted September 1, 2010 <p>Even at work, locally it sometimes is really slow. Also when I log in to change anything, thats when it really bogs down.<br> I might just have to try undoing the forward site hover. and test it independently.<br> thanks to all who tested the connection.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pbalko Posted September 1, 2010 Share Posted September 1, 2010 <p>What sort of place do you work at? We've got so many firewalls and server issues @ work, I was getting faster loads back in the 90s with my WebTV. Bad place to check your site speed.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danielransom Posted September 3, 2010 Share Posted September 3, 2010 <p>Seems it might be your service? Or some other heinous internet(s) thing. Loads fine here on my iMac running 10.5.8 I'm with Zenfolio and have been very happy with the results.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikael_karlsson Posted September 4, 2010 Share Posted September 4, 2010 <p>Loads fine here. Have you checked out your connection speeds Kevin. Nifty speedchecker available at http://www.speedtest.net/</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barry_hennessy_photo Posted September 11, 2010 Share Posted September 11, 2010 <p>Ok, it took 6.27 sec on it's first load for me. Way too slow.<br> The biggest offenders are layout.js (2.4s), embedded.swf(1.5s), and your first image (4.7s).</p> <p>I haven't had a look at layout.js but by the sounds of it they're using javascript to layout your page. Which is odd and probably unnecessary. The flash SWF file is always going to be a bit of a slowdown but in this case isn't the biggest offender.</p> <p>But by far the biggest offender is the first image at 4.71 seconds. You should resize this to exactly the dimensions it needs to be and no more. I also noticed that this doesn't begin loading until quite late, probably again to do with flash. Probably not much you can do there.</p> <p>I'm not sure what control you have but I'd definitely look to the images and whatever else you can control.<br> And this was only one time so it might vary, but it was noticeably slow. </p> <p>-Barry Hennessy.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
randywilson Posted September 24, 2010 Share Posted September 24, 2010 <p>You don't have to disable domain forwarding at your registrar in order to go directly to your zenfolio site. You can go directly by typing in an address in the form of <a href="http://xxxx.zenfolio.com">http://xxxx.zenfolio.com</a>, where xxxx is the name of the site you set up when you signed on to Zenfolio.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
