I took to checking speeds also when I first started noticing this site was running slow..my speed has always been 'as it should be' but the site tells a different story.
Russ has mentioned previously, and also very recently, that he was going to give the site a 'tune up', presumably because he'd noticed how slow it was running also.
Edit: A perfect ...[text shortened]...
However, I shall not be waiting to see how long this edit takes to appear here also lol..

I'm in Texas so if the server is here, then it has nothing to do with distance. I often run into lengthy page load times... like 1 minute or longer after I submit a chess move or post a forum message. I've got 32mbps up and down here, so, I know it's not a problem on my end.

Forums load slower than playing board page, and "search forums" isn't worth the wait. Maybe GB is right and we're all talking too much. 🙁

Yes, 'search forums' is just painful when this slow...best just do a google search, that finds as much as I ask for far quicker, author and \ or topic...i.e. 'redhotpawn,kewpie,site slow'...it works wonders lol.

When the site is running slow, repeat attempts just slow it down further. Better to be doing something else for a bit in the hope that things will improve later.

It has been occasionally slow for me all week.

The Holidays are approaching too, remember what that means. 😞
