Website is SLLLLLOOOOW...

yep, but the funny thing is the mobile version has become quite fast!

It's pretty slow for us too. :( The CTO is on it.

Today, it takes almost 8 seconds to download a single page which is, for the record, ever slower than the Linese website. FYI, that's intolerable and doesn't encourage participation here !

Still being slow for people? Pretty fast from Suzhou right now.

It's just slightly better today (4 to 6 seconds) ... 铁eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee (almost) !

150 seconds per page this afternoon !!!! At this point, you should definitely be concerned about your server's speed.

For the last two weeks the log in process has been very slow for me and the pages too long to load. Today has been the slowest for me (except this discussion, interestingly). And yes, if it stays that way, I would be concerned too.

I don't understand : http://chinesepod.com is always over 100 seconds per page now (in south-west Europe). but http://spanishpod.com and http://blog.praxislanguage.com are around 6 seconds per page. As Praxis, SpanishPod and ChinesePod are supposed to be be on the same server, I wonder if Cpod is slow down after the server.

Still pretty slow here...

It's always been pretty slow for me. I didn't notice any difference yesterday. I just know there are some times that it gets so bad that I kinda give up on it and go do other things, which is a bad sign. (I'm on the US west coast.)

I've not really noticed anything particularly today, though i must say that CPod is one of the slowest websites around generally unfortunately. It really does feel like those tone lessons!

Very slow.

I've noticed in the past week that if I'm trying to use the site in the wee hours here on the west coast US that it's not nearly as slow. But yep, it's *really* slow today. I'm wondering if it has to do with the number of services the site has to load every time the conversations page is refreshed. Are the things loaded to that page resident on the CP server itself, or are they loaded from sources outside CP? If full loading is dependent on servers outside of CP, then they have no control over how long it takes to get the info from them.

Hmm... too many people online. Alright, I'll sacrifice myself and get out (i.e. I'll stop refreshing the CPod page every 10 seconds). Let's see if one person can truly make a difference!

Anyone remember the thread about being addicted to CPod? ;-) Everything but the conversations page is working fine for me.

I've not noticed it being any slower than usual, but as I've said before Chinesepod is one of the slowest sites I go on on the net. I suppose it helps me follow Confucius's teachings about the virtues of patience. :)

It's pretty slow from here in Oz this morning. Maybe they're doing some of that maintenance that "nobody will notice".

Download speeds have also been unbearably slow. I've been trying to download a 10.2 MB lesson at 5KB/sec and it's taking forever. This is a new development so I doubt it's because of my connection.

At the moment, all forums and blogs are unresponsive, though the main sites and main praxis blog are the same as they've been the past few days. Something's happening. Coo-EEE!

It's been slow for me for the past week, but unbearably slow today. I wonder if it has to do with the number of CPod users online (I assume there are more CPod users than SPod users). Whatever the reason, I agree that is needs to be fixed soon...
