Hey guys, Spark is making improvements to our infrastructure, and we’d like some help from you guys to establish a set of websites that you feel currently aren’t performing as well as they could or should be.
 
This will help us create a baseline to measure against when we make a change to improve performance.

You can help us by suggesting websites that we watch. There are a few constraints and suggestions for the sites:
  -Should be a webpage that a basic automated system can load (The front page of twitch.tv for example, but not XYZ stream on twitch).
  -The more mainstream the page, the better (The more users that use it, the bigger an aggregate impact improving it will have).
  -Pages that have bad performance 24*7 are far more interesting, especially if you know they work well on other ISPs.
  -If everything you do is bad at peak times (8-11pmish), then please note that in your post. This is about changes to improve overall performance, not about troubleshooting individual connections – please contact the helpdesk for that.
  -Sites that are hosted overseas are of far higher interest (Late edit)
 
Please post here rather than PM – we're keen to see if there is commonality across the sites people are having issues with.

Thanks very much for your help, we appreciate it!

Regards - Neil G

[edit: added last point about intl sites]

Thanks everyone for the suggestions etc, but the network changes we made related to this request are now done... If there are any issues with page load times it will not be related to the part of the network I was trying to evaluate.

If you have individual issues I'm afraid I have to direct you to the helpdesk (or post here in another thread if you'd rather see if others are seeing the same issue instead).

Cheers - N
