Waiting for physicsforums.bernhardtmediall.netdna-cdn.com

  • Thread starter TurtleMeister
  • Start date
In summary, users are experiencing extremely slow loading times and missing images on the physics forums website. Some users are reporting that the site is loading quickly for them, while others are experiencing delays of up to 20 minutes for a single page to load. The site's formatting is also being affected, with missing icons and buttons. A support ticket has been sent and it has been determined that the issue may be related to the NetDNA New York Datacenter. Traceroutes show that many users are hitting this particular server, and support has not found any issues with it. Further information, such as location and trace routes, have been requested from users to help determine the cause of the slow loading times.

The forum is extremely slow and images are not loading. Firefox displays waiting for physicsforums.bernhardtmediall.netdna-cdn.com in lower left corner. Is anyone else having this problem?

No, it's loading lightning fast for me.

Yes - and I'm using IE. Greg is in the process of making some changes, and there may be some disruption.

Thanks. I guess I'll check back later. Good to know it's not on my end.
 
  • #5
I'm having the same problems. Using Chrome.
 
  • #7
Fast for me all the time.

If it is a cloud, whether you see problems depends on the closest server (or the one that is selected for you by whatever algorithm is at work).

It is slower than mud for me, using two different browsers and NO other sites exhibit the problem.

EDIT: actually, in this particular case, "slower than mud" is insulting to mud.

Here is the response, please post the details and I'll relay

I have checked your site and it loads well on my end, I'm hitting the Los Angeles Data Center. Can you ask some of your visitors to click on this debug URL: http://debug-16.netdna-cdn.com so we would be able to determine their location and check our monitoring logs to compare and use use for further testing. Also, if they can provide a trace route to the cdn url: physicsforums.bernhardtmediall.netdna-cdn.com and your domain url: physicsforums.com it would be helpful so we can determine if there is a network issue in their location.

The physics forums site is grindingly slow for me. Almost completely unusable. It's taken about 20 minutes to assemble this post. It's like working with a steam powered modem and a Leggo computer.

Much of the site's formatting is also getting "bitten" --- many of the icons and buttons are gone,leaving text descriptions in their place. A given page will take several minutes to complete loading.

The edit frame icons are dead, although some will show their text descriptors when I mouse over. I'd include a snapshot, but the "attachments" icon is not working.

I've tried both Firefox and Internet Explorer on two separate computers, obtaining equally dismal results.

The debug URL shows: "You are hitting the NetDNA New York Datacenter"

I'm on the NetDNA New York Datacenter as well, and it is horribly slow. Glad it isn't just me though.
 
  • #16
Talked to support and they don't see anything wrong with the NY server. I need everyone to send me their traceroutes.
 
  • #17
Still slow for me... and I couldn't post a homework q because some buttons aren't loading.

The physicsforums.bernhardtmediall.netdna-cdn.com times out when I did the traceroute. But here anyway:

still VERY slow

ping to physicsforum.com just times out

what is a "tracerroute" ?
 
  • #19
They now can confirm there is an issue, but they are still trying to figure out exactly what is causing it. They are still requesting Traceroutes. Traceroutes map the path packets take from the server to your computer and the time it takes for them to get to you. thanks!

Let me rephrase. How do I GET a traceroute?

Are you under Windows? Open command line window, and type "tracert physicsforums.bernhardtmediall.netdna-cdn.com".

Ah! Much better.
