I've noticed every time I go to the main site, my browser halts. It doesn't slow down when I'm linked to direct pages, but it does on the front page. I think it may have something to do with so much loading at once. I looked at the scroll bar on the right and it seems like it is loading 500 articles for some reason?

Is anyone else experiencing this? I really hate it when I accidentally hit the Home button and my browser had to keep up with the load.

Browser Info:
Firefox - Latest Version
4GB RAM
Windows 7
Intel Core Duo 2 (1.8 GHZ)

Yeah, I brought this up before with a few people. I use Firefox as well, but only have a fourth of the RAM and usually the second I go on the main page it locks up my browser. It's due to all the videos I believe and whatnot.

I think it's the videos.

About two weeks ago I was experiencing major issues with slow down... then I did a TSS update, the moment that update went live the main page started loading very quickly with no issues. My guess is that it pushed the video heavy update off the front?

I've been having this same issue for the past couple days now. I'm using the latest stable version of Chrome and, probably due to all those videos posted on it, it's running very sluggishly on that particular page.

[Autosaver]

Yeah, I think it must be the videos. I just noticed that the last article on the bottom has about 300 videos in one post.

The strange thing is, for me the site is loading quite fine, which is strange since two weeks ago I was having loads of problems but nobody else was.

I can't check anyone elses articles except my own, however due to the way we've been told to embed videos, it shouldn't be causing serious problems if it's been embedded right. However I'm not sure why that one doesn't have a 'more' tag on it so I'll ask about that and see if it'll help with the page at all.

Edit: Can someone let us know if the problem has fixed/improved itself at all? That uber update now has a 'read more' link on it. With any luck it should speed things up?

Because for some reason the site is still loading quite quickly for me, using an old version of IE too.

Fixed. I think it's due to the fact that my Sound Test posts are linked over both sites, then whatever happens and the entire article is hosted without a link after the jump. I take my eye off of it, then it screws things up again...

Should be fixed, and I damn hope it stays that way.

Yeah, it's running much better now for me. Thanks for the quick fix, good sir!

Hm... I still appear to be suffering lag. My specs include 6GB RAM, and an i5, so I'm pretty sure it's the site.

[Bulkhead]

holy shit tracker your specs

I've been suffering slowdown for a loooooooooooong time on the main site, that's why I mostly never use it. And I do think it's the massive amounts of videos at once. Isn't there any way to hide them, like a spoiler tag or something?

[Autosaver]

I swear the site is loading faster and the site has been optimized by at least 75%, but some lag still exists.

And yeah, I did try to avoid the main site due to the lag.

Heh ; . Can't run Generations without heavy lag though.
