Slowest car forum on the internet - CZC.com

Glad you are back to work Cliff.  I had it last April.  I had a 103 fever for a few days and I was light-headed whenever I stood up.  Other than that, it was a few days of a bad cold and then I felt fine.  I had to take two weeks off work even though I felt fine a week ahead of that.

Interesting thread. Like others, I've seen intermittent slow-loading on this site, and wondered whether it was just me. In my case, it's happens when I click on a thread (from a Forum or from Activity for example). Using Chrome, the circle will spin counter-clockwise (which I believe means the host name/IP address hasn't yet been resolved by the DNS server). If the circle stops spinning counter-clockwise, and starts spinning clockwise (address resolved), the page loads quickly enough. Often, but not always, if I click the link again while the circle is spinning backwards, the page loads instantly. I don't see general slowness on pages. For instance images load reasonably quickly as I scroll, and I don't get too far ahead of threads if I scroll quickly. All of this says to me that the problem is related to the host site's "front-end" and the way it interacts with DNS servers. A bit too vague to be helpful, but what I'm seeing doesn't seem to point to poor host site connection speed. It isn't lightning fast, but it isn't generally bad.

I don’t see circles.

I see road courses.

My guess is that the slowness comes from database performance.

For me, only the 'unread content' page is consistently very slow - between 9 and 10 seconds to load. 

Other pages (individual threads) are sometimes slow, but normally OK. 

The 'unread content' page is more complex that most of the other pages I imagine- it could involve an unoptimised join in the database or the join happening outside the database (specifically, on the webserver).
