This time we lost this forum for awhile this AM and its slowing down, what's up with this? I thought the switch was going to bring us no more problems but it looks like that isn't true.
Slowdowns can occur for any number of reasons from either the server itself doing some scheduled indexing or compressing or some hidden task being done. Slowdown can even occur because of proxy's that makeup the backbone of the internet that are outside the range of a service provider. In fact mentioning that I remember one time my site and my providers site was down because people upgrading a Cable line accidentally severed the fibre optics, so it took them a while to patch it, hardly the fault of my provider.
