Anyone else experiencing lagging here?

Hmmmm... this is very confusing; the white screen would suggest that something is stalling the pages from loading; when I have seen this in the past, it was actually an external website that was causing the delay (facebook, twitter, googleads etc).

I am wondering if it is certain browsers that are showing the problem more readily, or if it is something to do with connection speeds?

Those of you that are seeing the problem, the next time you have the hang or white screen, take a look at the bottom left corner of your browser window and see what it says there. I would expect that it says something like "Waiting for www.facebook.com....." or "Connecting to googleanalytics.com...."

I am not promising any cure here, but maybe if we are able to identify a root cause it might help with the solution.

 

Good morning @rosebay I am only trying to assist you my friend, have you tried removing Firefox and then reinstalling it

 

I'm with BT using W7. No lag or different background. No background visible when on GC (or any other site) as I've set the site to fill my screen.

Whilst refreshing the screen I get the green GC background with the tools and pots. This lasts for about 3 seconds whilst it refreshes. I've just checked my download speed, on two different sites, one said .84Mb and the other said 2.3Mb . My ISP has told me that the fastest download time I can get on my service is 2.1Mb!

There's no appreciable difference between downloading GC and other sites but the more tabs I have open the longer it seems to take.

No recent slow down.

 

I've got no issues at two different locations, i.e. two different ISPs: office using a Win7 laptop with Chrome, home Win8 desktop with Chrome. I also just checked on my smartphone, it is OK on there too.

Would suggest it's people's individual configurations/ISPs.

Those using mobile devices, are you using your own WiFi or data connection? My phone is only 3g but that is OK.

 

It does sound as though it is some sort of issue that is related to speed of connection or hardware receiving the data, and the only thing I can think of is that the data is being sent from the server faster than the ISP can send it on, and packets are being lost; the receiving PC then sits and waits for the missing packets which never arrive, hence the white screen or incomplete images.

@rosebay - it might be worth trying a test on www.pingtest.net which might give an indication of packet loss and noise within the signal

 

I got logged out the other day . I never log out myself so something happened. OK now.
