We've got an e-commerce site hosted here. In the past week or two, it has suddenly slowed drastically. Pages that were taking 5-10 seconds at most to load now take 15-30+ seconds. There are intermittent periods in which the speed comes back up to normal, but soon slows again. We've made no changes to most of those pages in that period. We're nowhere near our bandwidth limit. We know it just started happening because we are suddenly getting calls complaining about it. We tried to get help from DiscountASP.net through email but they essentially told us they couldn't find anything and suggested it was something to do with the page content; I know that's not the case because the content hasn't changed. To me it sounds like a server problem, but I can't get any help on that end. Any ideas what could cause such a change?
I tested your site from my home and most pages takes around 5 - 10 seconds to load. I didn't see one that takes more than 15 sec. to load. May be it could be a network related issue. Bruce DiscountASP.NET www.DiscountASP.NET
Hi, You have a ton of external content loading, even PERL scripts and 3rd party cookies. There are multiple items I spotted that could be causing the load time. All external. You appear to have a robust Classic ASP shopping cart system look in your global.asa file for anything external. Then create test pages that are duplicates of your existing pages, but without any external content. Hit both pages at the same times, putting some ASP debugging lines in there will help too, so you can time things. It's not very difficult to create test pages like this and you can always use them for tests later. Salute, Mark
