Slow Response Time for Tractor Point
Thanks to all that weighed in on the slow response time. I agree, this is a great site, but when it's as slow to respond as it has been, it gets a bit frustrating. Time of day does not seem to matter on my end. As I indicated I have absolutely no problem connecting to any other site at any time of day with my cable connections except this site.
Would it be possible for the site administrator to add his comments, solutions or observations to this issue?

Slow Response Time for Tractor Point
Hi Bvance,
I run this site and I am always concerned if someone has response time issues. I travel around the country a bit so I have a pretty good idea of normal response times.
From my office the new as posted page loads in about 4 seconds. At worst 7 on a T3 connection.
I have used dialup and the response time is slower but not that much. Generally very acceptable.
It is possible that there are too many hops in the path that your ISP/DSL/Cable provider is taking to get to the Tractorpoint host. Your provider also has ways of giving you seemingly great performance by caching popular sites like Yahoo thereby simulating great perforamnce, but on lower volume sites like Tractorpoint you have to make a full run to the server.
Try a dialup connection or go to the public library in your town and see what the response time is there, check what service they are using. Send me your ip address, go to the command prompt and type ipconfig /all to get it.
Try pinging Tractorpoint from the command prompt.
ping tractotpoint.com

Slow Response Time for Tractor Point
Dennis,
I pinged the tractorpoint site with a average time of 52ms. A similar ping to Yahoo had an average time of 2ms. A ping to my company server at another location had an average time of 1ms.
It takes me 3 seconds for the site to load, 8 seconds for the discussion boards to load and 8 seconds for a specific board to load.
I am using a T1 fiber connection. I will try the same test at home this weekend.
Regardless, this is an excellent site, keep up the good work. Dave.

6 meg wireless connection, sometimes slow, but most times normal as any other site, could be the number of users at one time posting or looking that can slow it down, it is a Forum board after all, servers do need to seek and search for each request.

Thanks Dennis for your comments and suggestions. I admit there's a lot I don't know about the internet.
I remember when microwave ovens first came out what a wonder it was to get a cup of hot water in one minute. Now it drives me crazy to wait that one minute to get a cup of hot water! Kind of the same thing with response times....8 seconds is now too long. My response times have been more acceptable the last couple of days so let's hope the gremlins are gone!
You have a great site with very knowledgable folks that I learn a lot from. Keep up the good work!
Brian

Holy Smoke.
I don't think I can attach meaning to anything in the last post.
Last time I heard about pinging was in the Hunt for Red October.

bvance,
How right you are!
Thanks for the reality check.
Dennis, I have dial up at 53.2kbps, and your site came
up in 2-3 sec. this morn. Sometimes slower,sometimes not at all. So what.
Still the sight I enjoy the most.

Sorry DRankin I should have left a footnote. The ping speed is based on a few things overall and out of your control mostly (ISP related and their path). While my ping speed is not excellent, its not bad so maybe its considered a medium response (32ms the lower that number the better)...other sites have higher Ping speeds but load up faster. I'm thinking its something else beside Ping speed only. I have a very fast cable modem, and it still takes some time for pages to load, in summary...
