Poll: AnandTech front page speed

[Coalfax]

Zipzoom... definitly doesnt accurately display what it does...

Doesn't Zip... Doesnt Zoom.. just sits there and freezes the page

Bah


20+ secs from work and will have to check from home.

Santa Cruz, California
Today it seems to be loading faster than usual. 6 seconds.

 

[retrospooty]

Another day goes by, another 1 minute load time on DSL in CA.

When are they gonna fix this ?

 

[Netopia]

Weird... I just loaded it and it was nearly instant.

Can we have some feedback on what's being done/looked into? Not that we want accountability, but there is the curiosity/being involved angle.

[Kenazo]

I'm In Manitoba, and it took 8 seconds for me, but I'm running ZA Pro, so i'm not sure what it all blocked.

 

[Spearhawk]

ca 15 seconds. 10 mbit, Sweden.

 

[OddTSi]

Looks like they ditched the ZipZoomFly ads. Seems to load really fast now.

 

[Crucial]

Yep, 3 seconds to load now.

They keep doing that... then they keep coming back... Nothing new, unless its truly off for good. Wait a few days to be sure.

I guess you're right. ZipZoomFly ads are back. So is the 20-30 second loading time accompanied with the IE freeze.

I hope this gets resolved REALLY quickly cause I'm about to set a new homepage. Having to wait 30 seconds everytime I open a new IE window is getting ridiculous.

We want them gone! And sometimes when it loads a .jsp file it locks up IE for me.

Exactly... AT has been my homepage for 4 years, until December that is.

 

[lifeguard1999]

Mississippi: 1-4 seconds using IE or Firebird. Connect speed is Gig-E to internet at work, cable at home.

 

[OverVolt]

about 1-2sec maybe more, using Mozilla @ 3mbit comcast cable Maryland MD, about the same for IE6 lastest.

 

[Murphyrulez]

took 2-3 seconds, Firebird, Comcast cable Detroit MI...

 

[Ulukia]

Northeastern Ohio, USA, North America, Earth, Sol System, Milky Way Galaxy, Universe
Cable Modem - 512 kbps Downstream
IE 6 SP 1
Windows XP Pro
5 seconds on first load, 2 seconds now

 

[oogabooga]

live in Irvine, CA (and san jose,ca) Both areas the header loads relatively quickly, but the body of the page takes it's time. Usually loads in at around 5seconds though, never too much faster or slower

San Jose - Earthlink DSL
Irvine - Cox Digital Cable

 

[BangItOut]

checking in from Brooklyn NY (optimum online from cablevision) 1.2Megabytes/s! (39.99)
takes 2-3 seconds the title displays imediatley, its the rest that takes time..
useto be worse, great improvment, anand engineers!!

 

[Rayden]

California. I'm on DSL. Time was just about 4 seconds. Felt a little slow...

 

[zodder]

Rochester, NY: 4 seconds on a 768 DSL line at work.

 

[labrat25]

I'm in W. Lafayette, IN at purdue University

Weird thing is that we've had some problems with the website and IE. It likes to make our Dell's hang, I don't know why. It's not connection speed 'cause those are plugged into the university network (which goes to fibre )

Just to let ya know

 

[sxr7171]

I get less than 4s from home on Earthlink Cable via TWC.

I get less than 3s from Easton wireless at Easton Mall; Columbus, OH.

Both using IE 6.

 

[notoriousformula]

20-30 Secs, Vancouver. Canada. I have a 3mbps connection at work, and AnandTech takes forever to open. AnandTech should stop Importing stupid ZipZoom Flash ads and host them on their own servers. Sometimes the IE freezes cus of the Crappy/slow ZipZoom Fly servers.

Thanks for listening.

Regards.
