Default Forum Server Lag?

Have you been experiencing slow web page loading?
Does the forum server seem slow to respond?

It is. Every time you load the page, your machine has to make a connection to one or all of the following:

www.google-analytics.com
www.hypemakers.net

And possibly a few others. If those remote servers are lagging, running slow, network bottlenecked, etc, then what you're going to see is a slow Corvette Forum page load.

However, if you can figure out a way to block your machine from trying to connect to those sites, then your browsing will speed up dramatically.

Trust me.

It takes bandwidth to post the annoying animated ads on each and every post! New ownership idea.

I don't know how to start a vote, but one should be started to protest the ads in the thread. Especially a video!!!!

Not so fast

I hate advertising as well, but the new ownership wants to make some money. I think that's legit...

I don't mind ads, but this new one is too "in your face". I would assume it's the video that's slowing the site down.

I'm going to give that a try. Something need to be done, I'm starting to get annoyed enough to go elsewhere. Any other suggestions??

Glad you mentioned this. I've been noticing a major slow down several times. Multiple computers on high speed connections too.
