Web Site Back, THANKS EVERYONE

Well after much trouble it looks like the site is running quickly again. I cant believe the response I got from the community. I was amazed at the speed at which everyone submitted comments and gave proof that it wasn’t just my fault. I realize my code isn’t the best out there and I link to many outside sources. I posted to only three different places. (Yahoo answer, Hardforum, and katriders.com) and I got over 30 responses in an hour. I was amazed at how helpful everyone was except for the actual host.

After I got all the responses they still only wanted me to ping the site and if that wasnt the problem, there was no problem. It was really ridiculous and caused me to actually have to call the support team on 1and1.com and asked to speak to their manager. Why did I do this? Because even with the proof they sent me an email saying “everything’s fine on our end, must be you.”

Finally the support person told me they would forward the ticket to the admin team.. if they did that or not I dont know. Regardless the problem is fixed for now so we should be good.

I still am very proud of the Internet community helping out with all the comments. Hopefully I can get back to just submitting articles.

Website Load Times.

As of 10:27 PM Central time the site has been performing as expected. Hopefully the problem was resolved!

I have contacted 1and1 support many times about this load time problem but they keep assuring me that its my fault and on their end everything loads fine.

I find it hard to believe both work/school/and home have the same load problems and its still my fault.

PLEASE! Load this page and count out how many seconds it takes to load. Just hit the refresh key and give me an estimate in a comment. I need something to prove to them its not all in my head.

 

EDIT: Heres the convo so far.

My Email:

Its been three weeks since the router issue that occured for
teamxw.com and at one point the websites load speed was back to
normal. 
However every day after that has been taking over 30 seconds to load
a indexed folder such as teamxw.com/temp from multiple locations. What
really concerns me is that the tracert for the site indicates no
pinging errors. Is the machine i am on not able to process the traffic as
well as it should? 
I am frankly out of ideas and if this cannot be resolved i will be forced to change hosts.
Any ideas what would cause this would be greatly appreciated.

Dear Paul
Thank you for contacting us. 
As we tried to access the site externally, the load time is ok, it
loads within 3-5 seconds. Please try to ask if your friends or any anybody that visits the site experiences the same issue? If you have any further questions please do not hesitate to contact
us.

My Reply:

The average seems to be 20-40 seconds for everyone:

Dear Paul
Thank you for contacting us.

It seems that the site is loading fast in our end. However, we will
monitor this case. For the mean time please try to restart your router.

If you have any further questions please do not hesitate to contact us.

EDIT:

Im getting nothing but the workaround. They asked me to get average load times from friends… 30 of you posted, I posted the link to the comments section and they started with the “seems to be fine on our end, can I get a traceroute?” I told them its not a networking issue.. most likely hardware because its more frequent with PHP where different peices have to be loaded before the page is rendered.

I then called them, asked to speak with there manager, they wanted to know why, i told them for the answer. They asked me to stay on hold for 2 minutes, 5 minutes later she told me she was looking over the history of the support ticket and everything was fine. I then asked again to talk to her supervisor. She then told me after I was put on hold again they werent available but she would forward the ticket to the system admins if I sent a trace route. I did, and I will be very amazed if it is forwarded.

So I was debating on ordering a pizza for dinner since I skipped out. With the president being here I thought it might not be a good idea, but I still went to the site just to look. Well what did I see on the front page?

heart

What the hell is this?

EDIT: I looks like somone actually bought one here: http://consumerist.com/5152896/papa-johns-love-pizza-is-a-lie and it looks more like a regular pizza with a part smushed in. Gotta love it!
