RCU Performance
 

I'm pretty sure it isn't me but I'll ask: is RCU running slowly, slow to load, slow to navigate for everyone?

Reminds me of me on a cold morning before that first cup o'joe - sssssslllllllloooooowwwwwwww.

Jerry

For me, I just pull the string tighter and it's smooth sailing for me!

No problems here. :D






Jeff

Honestly, I had some problem connecting this morning, but the pages are refreshing without too much fuss now.

P.S. My last post was supposed to have the words scattered all over, but it lined everything up when I posted it. So much for being a smart-aleck.

Oh yeah. And it'll usually only let me read one or two threads, then done 'til next time.

I also get a 'leave page' warning if I post a response that doesn't take.

But it's free, has less advertising than most and I imagine a pretty high volume (not us of course).

Today at this time it's loading fast other days its slow some times I have to keep hitting re fresh many times to load my saved user name and password .

Out of all the sites I go too this is the slowest and the odd time it just won't load.

It happens a lot to me in the mornings. After about 10am EST it smooths out and I don't have many issues after that.

It is slow to load and sometimes I find myself " Log Out " without logical explanation...
But on the other hand, it's easier to insert pictures and video when replying or posting a thread; and replies don't get lost in space like it used to...
So they have improved ...:rolleyes:

The problems of this site being slow to load, or failing to load have made me go away. I gave up and lost interest. So, I hardly log into RCU anymore. I also gave up complaining about it.

The site not always slow but most of the time it's. A lot database error too. Also the auto-refresh no longer work for me.

It times out for me about 60% of the time I try to load!

I just saw your thread and thought I'd tell you all to post some replies here about the slowness issues. Maybe it will get more attention.

Could be the amount of advertising graphics slowing down the upload?

It's been timing out for me for about a week, I have to try 2 or 3 times to get it to load, Called my server co. and the sent me an E-mail That tell me it is not them , and early to day RCU would not load and I got an error msg. #500

Same here, but considering the amount of people logged on and the TONS of info here I'm not surprised at all. Maybe time for a new server RCU

A lot of times it won't load and to get the photo's ot enlarge in a thread is Commodore64 like.

There are a couple threads on this same subject...

I just tried to use thread tools and show images and had a couple pics popped up then errored out. :-(

"Reply With Quote" function doesn't work on my iPad and a lot of images time out. I have to write my own tags for quoting.

At times it is as slow as a turtle and at other times it's back to normal for me. I have a pretty fast connection and computer.

I have experienced more slow loading this past week. Sometimes after reading a few forums it will try to load a page and never complete, so after several minutes waiting I give up. I hope they get it fixed, I do like this site.

We go thru this every so often with RCU. And there is always someone taking up for them about how they got so much of this, that or another going on.But you know what ? They aren't the only people with a large group of people following them and the others don't seem to have the same problem popping up from time to time. Not trying to be a smart you know what, but that's just the way I see it.

Yup. Sloooow. So I just click to open, minimize, do something else, come back later and it's up.

Yeah, but nothing that hasn't been going on for years...literally. I remember some time back that RCU's managing company decided to upgrade the software to try and help. People have always complained about it, but nothing really effected the performance. I can't say whether or not it's the hosting company or maybe the site just has that much content that it has become unstable.

More info here.

I actually used to pay for being able to list things I had for sale, but since the site kept crashing and not being available during many 'peak hours' (lunch ish, and 5-10PM) I stopped paying and just list either for free or on 'the other site'. It seems that whenever my connections are refused here, 'the other site' just keeps working. Not bashing or knocking, just stating fact. I actually prefer RCU's interface, when it works.

Very slow to load past several days, sometimes it doesn't load at all. RCGroups is always very fast to load. About to give up un RCU. Guess it will speed up when enough of us give up and move on.

Yea, yea...this and the Mods overuse of closing threads and deleting posts has been going on forever. You all must be imagining this because if we all close our eyes, say there isn't a problem and clap our hand twice...then everything is good. All together...Happy face now!

It's been slow off and on for months now. First started May/June. I even posted thread about it here. It got better. Now it's slow fairly often again. Different devices, different os, different geographical location, wifi and LTE.

C:\Windows\System32>ping www.rcuniverse.com -w 1000000

Pinging rcuniverse.com [98.158.196.40] with 32 bytes of data:
Request timed out.


Hmmmmm. slow just getting to these guys, I wonder where their app and db servers are?

running a tracert from a home pc to their url is meaningless ( as is the ping obviously.)- timed out after the first 6 hops;
went to 30....

Jerry

I find RC tank on RC group to be much better to get on.
Darryl

Funny it is working fine for me this morning after we complained a bit.....

Yup, same here. Pretty fast and reliable again. Same thing happened months ago, when I started my own thread about slow performance of this site. It got better after that, for a while....
