Default Need some Internet Browser advice.

It could be the website, some of the addons, some plugins, or just the browsers, but as of late I am having trouble with a couple browsers trying to load up the website.....It's kind of irritating...but yea I have tried:

Mozilla Firefox (7.0 started my problems, now on 8.0.1)
Google Chrome v15.xxxxxxxxxxxxx (latest stable)
Google Chrome v16.xxxxxxxxxxxxx (latest beta)
Palemoon 8.0 (tweaked Firefox build for more performance)

I have never tried Opera, but am willing to if people have good luck with it, and as for Internet Exploder......yea I'm not going to touch that.....

Or if others have another browser they like, feel free to post about it, I'm just getting fed up with the 1~2min wait for any page of the site to load.....

I think Sekirei_Lord uses Opera.

But why not give Safari a try while you're at it.

I've noticed the same problem of recent, seems there's some hang time before the website appears.

Might be Chrome 17, I'll try the others as variables.

Default RE: Need some Internet Browser advice.

Well, I went back to the stable version of Chrome (15.XXXXXXXX) and it seems to run slighty better than 16beta. And I am also trying a Firefox built browser called WaterFox. It is a 64bit browser that runs using Firefox's profile, or installs its own if you didnt have Firefox on your computer at the time. I am not sure if it will run on a 32bit system though due to it needing 64bit version plugins.

It could also be, that the site needs to be pruned of extraneous data. Try removing the banned members/bots, and maybe clean up the caches (I know with SMF and e107 you could, not sure about MyBB and Joomla.

I've checked it over and there doesn't seem to be anything causing it, the largest files are the attachments and the rest of DB seems quite clean.

Default RE: Need some Internet Browser advice.

Hmmm, might just be a slight lag then in the host's server I guess....But who knows, but on a side note Whyt, would you happen to know how I could tweak my performance to get some better upload/download speeds? I have looked it up, and have only found tweaks for IE/Firefox, nothing for an Operating System. Because it seems to be somewhere within my OS that's making it slow, not a browser, since it can be any program I use to try and upload something, and I get less than 75kb/s. Only tweaks I know are for Security, nothing for performance sadly.

Hmm, speeding up the system huh...

I can't think of anything at the minute apart from obvious peak time issues and the speed of your network card. I do think Windows had an issue which limited the number of connections by default, there where a few programs floating around sometime back which solved the issue by increasing the number.

If you have any spare machines I'd do a fresh install Windows and see if the speeds alright, could just be fragmentation or disk speeds.
