Default Why is this site so slow to load and doesn't even load pages?

I'm not trying to be an ass, but I constantly find that pages take forever to load. Many times the pages don't load and I have to keep refreshing the page and hope that it loads. This is a server issue and I thought the servers got upgraded??? It's not like the page loads graphic by graphic. It just doesn't load period.

Just wanted to point this out because it makes me not want to come to the site. Wastes too much time.

I do have high speed cable too.


Just trying to help by pointing out a problem.

Maybe it's your computer. I have two Macs, one new and one four years old. The old one takes forever to load, even though I have a cable modem. The new one loads really quickly, almost instantaneously.

This is the ONLY site that gives me problems. I am an internet junkie and go everywhere. It's not my computer. I have a P4 1.6 gigahertz 512 MB ram and fast high speed cable modem.

K...to be fair about this, I will assume it's my computer or my ISP unless I get other members having the same problem.

I clean my cookies/temp files with Window Washer on a regular basis. My system should be running perfectly as it usually does. I have Norton Antivirus running 24/7 get the updates, have done virus scans, have all of the MS updates, defragment my hard drive...and have rebooted my Windows XP Pro.

this site isn't slow, but it also isn't the quickest. this site gets a lot of traffic from s2000 owners and other enthusiasts who visit the site. this site is very popular among car people.

It's typically very fast for me. Although at peak times it does slow down a little bit, but nothing that keeps me from surfing it.

same for me. its pretty fast right now, but during peak hours(7-10 pm), it can get kind of slow but it's still bearable. i guess if you're still using 56k, then you're screwed. i got cable, so it's always fast.
