Are they just trying to cram in too much advertising crap?
Yep Also, it's not as bad on chrome, usually, but it's awful on IE Seems much better on a MAC...I don't know why
Has been a disaster since the 'upgrade'. Mine is 'better' on Windows laptop than Ipad but still worse than before.
I don't think it is slow at all, I'm on Safari. I will reach out to the admin though to do a server test. you know when you have slowness go to a website for speed tracking and it will tell you exactly where the hangup is. 99% of the time when user complains about slowness it is on their end, we should charge $10,000 for every libelous statement.
that's hate speech Rob and I'm offended, on behalf of all the people here who identify as transgender indigenous polar bears
SAFARI!!! Those speedtest sites don't help find an issue. Only good for e-speed wanker contests He needs to do basic troubleshooting like deleting cache, flushing DNS cache and trying a different browser.
Rubbish. It can't be my end. My computer is only 10 years old and my ADSL is about 2 mps. The speed is faster from my (also 10 yrs old) work computer. But on a more serious vent, it was definitely faster (loading pages, etc) before. I assume that modern web design assumes super fast clock speeds, loads of RAM, and fibre-optic internet speeds, so the Millenials who write the code don't have to be elegant. It can be clunky with lots of added in bumpf, and nobody (except me) notices.
The software industry has been dumbed down by languages that do most of the hard work for the coder. These languages are interpreted rather than compiled and have higher system overheads, so the end result is slower performance, unless you throw lots of hardware at them. Once upon a time, the starting point for a programmer was learning assembler (machine language, fast execution but slow to write) then a compiled language. Today people know only high level interpreted languages and call themselves engineers. C++ was the last widely used compiled language, it's impossible now to find anyone who can use it. Certainly no unis teach it. They favour Python, the dumbest of dumbed down languages . The other problem is that most coders are functionally illiterate whether they've just stepped off the plane or have completed an Aussie or US tertiary education. UK still retains some degree of communication skills, but the decline compared to 20 years ago is obvious, since the left took control of the system .
I did software development which I finished a few years ago even though I have been coding for about 20 years. The core was C++ & C# with some java modules as well. Java is the most the most used language at the moment as it is very app friendly. C++ is still widely used as the open source micro controller market is based on it. Python is a excellent language as it eliminates the indexing issues with compiled software and is based on whitespace. Even if there are a few errors in the program it will still run until it hits the error which allow you to troubleshoot easier. And you dont have to deconstruct a compiled program which makes a huge difference when you need to fault find on someone else's program Java is the most favored at the moment Python is still up and coming but is the most taught language for school kids due to open source development. The only downside it's not app friendly so developers dont use it as much. My programming is 60% python and 40% C++ these days.
Pascal was my first language I started on when I got into software. But it all started on the VIC 20 and C64 in BASIC
