A couple of people have mentioned that this site has been slow to load recently – and I have noticed it too (although my broadband has been a bit dodgy lately too). So I spent half a day yesterday sorting it out through doing some stuff myself, talking to the support team at GoDaddy and spending some money. I even had a conversation about Buzzard licensing with a nice man in Arizona who noticed the post on this blog as he was helping make everything work.
It seems to me that the site is loading much faster today – I hope you have noticed a positive difference. Have you? (just two easy questions)

It had crossed my mind that you’d been targeted!
It had been slow but has loaded much quicker today.
Peterd – phew! Then my half a day and an arm (but not a leg) were worth it!
Much quicker today, both on the direct link and through Facebook!
Richard – that’s a relief!
The GoDaddy link is bizarre, Mark!
Richard – and I thought no-one ever clicked on the links!
Much better, and an annoying advert has disappeared!
I use Sage RSS feed reader in Firefox. The feed stopped working yesterday and showed “XML Parse feed error”.
I deleted the blog from the Sage list and tried to resubscribe. The RSS feed button on the blog Home only returns a blank page with the text “pageok” at the top left.
The Firefox toolbar RSS button just opens a new Sage page with the blog title and a comments. Typically this would be a drop down list from the button showing options to select feed or comments.
How this all works IFIIK – but that is what is happening in my browser
Filbert – thanks for the feedback. I hardly understand a word of it but I’ll have a look!
This is going faster despite the effects Sunday pm mycotoxins.
Well done Mark,think it is good value even though it cost time and money I guess.
Dennis – thank you.
Sorry, can’t say i notice a difference.
Took 12 seconds to load this page today. Not sure how long i gave, last time you asked.
I have a slow satellite broadband. My broadband speed varies enormously but i did a speed test and right now it is excellent (9Mbps download).
Hadn’t noticed it being slow before; today it is treacle, but perhaps it is just me. Thank you for asking. More bothersome are the social media buttons which overlay the webpage and are so large they obscure a third of the screen (bottom third on tablet, bearable; left third on PC – Firefox, obscures first three characters of every line, turning your posts into a word puzzle!)
