I've pretty much optimized everything I can. The only things that are slowing down the site are external services. Overall though, how is the speed performance of the site?

Nugatory said:I'm having the same experience, but also comparing with a system running Windows7 and a VMWare virtual machine running a fairly recent Ubuntu distro. I believe that the iPad problem isn't that PF is slow, it is that it is that the iPad is taking bloody forever to render the pages.
I guess I should have voted average too, my use of average is surely skewed.DataGG said:I voted "Average" but I think it requires an explanation.
PF is no faster nor slower than other forums of which I'm a member. That's why I voted "average". It does not mean it's not fast, it just means that it's not significantly faster than other sites I browse.
During the reply creation or edit? The loading was slow or typing into the editor?TumblingDice said:The problem I'm seeing is a degradation of keyboard responsiveness as the post gets larger. By the time I got to the last paragraph the display lagged so much, fighting to key and edit was overwhelming. I had to sit back and wait for the display to catch up.
Slow display reaction when typing into the editor (original reply entry). I feel I should have done more legwork to diagnose before mentioning, but it's occurred more than just the last time. Been busy, boss. I'll dig more if no one else reports anything similar.Greg Bernhardt said:During the reply creation or edit? The loading was slow or typing into the editor?

The purpose of measuring site performance on Physics Forums is to ensure that the website is running efficiently and effectively for its users. By monitoring site speed, we can identify and fix any issues that may be causing slow loading times or other performance problems, ultimately improving the overall user experience.
Site speed on Physics Forums is measured using various tools and techniques, such as load time tests, page speed analysis, and performance monitoring tools. These methods help us track and analyze the time it takes for pages to load, server response times, and other key metrics that impact site performance.
There are several factors that can affect the speed of Physics Forums, including server performance, network traffic, website design and coding, and the size and complexity of the website's content. Even small changes, such as image optimization or reducing the number of HTTP requests, can have a significant impact on site speed.
The speed of a website can greatly impact user experience on Physics Forums. Slow loading times and other performance issues can frustrate users, leading to a higher bounce rate and lower engagement. On the other hand, a fast and responsive website can improve user satisfaction and encourage them to spend more time on the site.
To improve site performance on Physics Forums, we regularly monitor and analyze site speed and make necessary adjustments and optimizations. This can include implementing caching techniques, minimizing code and file sizes, and optimizing images and other website elements. We also regularly update and maintain the website's servers and infrastructure to ensure they can handle increased traffic and usage.
