Is MySpace the slowest site on the Internet? - GoFuckYourself.com

Cory W · 06-30-2006, 11:24 AM

If I were a hosting company, I would be all over trying to get that account.

I started using it about 2 weeks ago. So far, I have found it a useful tool for networking, finding old friends, and learning a bit more about others.

However, I really don't post comments on others pages and send mail, because it takes so damn long to load the page. I literally dread clicking on it.

Half the time, I get errors or the full page doesn't even load?

Am I the only one?

Is this recent?

cold fusion is always slow as shit in my experiece.....

Doctor Dre · 06-30-2006, 11:30 AM

GFY : Speed: Slow (79% of sites are faster), Avg Load Time: 4.0

alexa is currently down here... but I wouldn't be surprised if GFY would be slower.

potter · 06-30-2006, 11:31 AM

gfy is pretty slow as well :/

G-Rotica · 06-30-2006, 11:31 AM

I have seen worse.

scottybuzz · 06-30-2006, 11:31 AM

yeh ive seen worse

Deraj · 06-30-2006, 11:32 AM

haha.. i think GFY and MySpace are pretty close.. but you'd think with the Billions of dollars MySpace has.. they could afford not to bug out EVERY SINGLE FLIPPIN DAY~!!!

Screaming · 06-30-2006, 11:32 AM

gfy load time > myspace load time = true

Kimo · 06-30-2006, 11:35 AM

myspace is hella slow and unstable, especially in firefox

Cory W · 06-30-2006, 11:35 AM

I disagree, I think MySpace loads far slower.

High Plains Drifter · 06-30-2006, 11:38 AM

Myspace is waaaaay slower than GFY, its not even close. Myspace has to be the slowest "big" site on the web.

Deraj · 06-30-2006, 11:40 AM

I don't think MySpace is all that much slower given that it usually has much more to load, but it is FAR more tempermental.. I must pound my keyboard at least once a day from being pissed off at MySpace

from what I've read they don'T make that much money yet.

pstation · 06-30-2006, 11:45 AM

Myspace does not use coldfusion, they use asp.net 2.0

pstation · 06-30-2006, 11:46 AM

and on another note, what the hell has been up with alexa lately? ;/

that'll likely change once they get this revenue sharing contract with whatever search engine

RyuLion · 06-30-2006, 12:01 PM

I don't have this problem with myspace. Some profiles are slower than others though..some people post too many pics and bad code that sometimes has even crashed IE and Firefox..

Deraj · 06-30-2006, 12:05 PM

my page is the SHIT! http://www.myspace.com/deraj509

seeric · 06-30-2006, 12:16 PM

one of them. its balls slow.

BobG · 06-30-2006, 01:25 PM

next to GFY yes.

CIVMatt · 06-30-2006, 01:43 PM

It took 3 days to load this thread... ok but it was down for a minute

chase · 06-30-2006, 01:47 PM

x peeps is slower, i think, but I just had FF close like 10 times from someone's overloaded profile, ugh. it wouldn't stay up long enough for me to get off the page, and I have session saver, so every time i opened ff back up, there it was again, lol

Stallion · 06-30-2006, 01:50 PM

That would about sum it up perfectly. I've never had all the errors I get in MySpace on GFY even on it's busiest day.

cliffom · 06-30-2006, 02:03 PM

Myspace.com still uses a bit of coldfusion code, though they are using Blue Dragon which allows you to run cfm code through the .net framework, without the need for the Cold Fusion application server.

WiredGuy · 06-30-2006, 03:12 PM

Most social networks have these types of problems simply because of the logistics behind it. Managing hundreds of thousands of simultaneous connections, maintaining sessions with each person, load balancing everything is an absolute nightmare. I don't think I've seen a single social network who has overcome all these feats to get a reliable service yet.

sickkittens · 06-30-2006, 03:13 PM

It's the errors that piss me off...and I rarely use it.

madawgz · 06-30-2006, 06:59 PM
