Is it just me or bhw really slowed down?

[Scripteen]

It isn't. Actually it has been much better after changing server.

 

[webwhizz]

stop moaning its fast and free

 

[rallow]

its finally working good on my end

 

[yubrew]

Turn off your pr0n downloads?

It was too slow before 1 or 2 weeks before..After the server changed the site was ultra fast and cool...

Get your PC checked for malwares and viruses, and remove some huge p0rn videos to make more space for better memory and speed management. Format the PC or remove the junk files, clean the registry, defrag the HDD, etc. Get a faster net-connection and you'll see the performance rise.

Also check what extra unwanted browser plugins/add-ons you're using and try removing those. I removed a few FF add-ons and my browser performance improved a lot without doing any of those other things.

P.S.:

Don't think about changing the user name now, you should've thought about it during the registration time. Build up a good character around your name and you'll do well on the forum.

Ok people.......


BHW Is constantly under a DDOS attack, we are working on mitigating the attack, while reducing the effect on legitimate users. The first time you load bhw it will be "slow" while it determines if you are real traffic or a botnet, subsequent loads should be much faster. If you don't load for awhile, and then load a page, then it will be "slow"

There are times when the DDOS attacks really pick up couples with the forums already high traffic it "overloads" the actual pipe, we have new hardware en route that we will be installing over the next 2 weeks to solve this problem, and essentially reduce the delay for first loads to 0.

In the meantime if you notice BHW is really slow, it WOULD help if you sent me a PM with your tracert results to blackhatworld.com, to get these results open command promopt (Start >> Run >> "cmd" (no quotes))
Then in the command prompt window type this in

"tracert blackhatworld.com" (no quotes)

Then send me a PM with the full output of the tracert

most large sites will slow down when you move them. It will take time for the site to get cache back out. I have not looked to see if they have it set up on a cloud server as well this would help speed the sites load speed up as well.

as for the name change I think it says something in the rule that they wont change user names and that they would not respond to request.

Two threads merged discussing the exact same thing

this explains why it is too slow. as i pointed out before the location is not an issue since the delay between usa and my location is below 200 ms but page loads in 10 secs

 

[webdesignsbyapw]

I noticed that too. Maybe too many people on the site at once? I hope BHW doesn't break, lol.

 

[seoitright]

All seems good here, had some problems last week loading pages but is super slick now!!

 

[davids355]

Speed is good but I still see that FB page alot...

 

[seo_wpn]

Hi,
it's slow since evening.

 

[xollls]

Yeah bhw is lagging way more than before for me as well.

Thanks. Was wondering how the hell it could be so slow for so long lol.

 

[jon_xx_x]

Man this is terrible.

 

[noiddemo]

[Hostwinds]

The speed updates have been completed

Let me know what you guys think
