I've noticed tonight Geekzone has been lagging on a link some thing like "psn.eu.playstation.com"....which I assume is trying to serve an ad. 

I'm a subscriber, so I don't see the ad anyway.....yet I have to wait for that site to respond so I can't see it. :-)  

I wonder if these links can be turned off in some way for subscribers so access is speeded up.  Seems a waste all round to suck data in from a 'slow / busy / far away' server and make me wait for an ad that I'm not ever going to see anyway.

I think it might be Twitter, but I know what you mean - posts taking about a minute to load.



The image is actually the fail whale

If you are a subscriber you don't even get the ad codes - just look at the source to confirm.

I am using Vodafone, it's been fine for every other site.

Either it's Twitter having a fail moment or it seems on mine it keeps waiting for "images.geekzone.co.nz" - but it is indeed running really slow (taking 1-2mins to load posts)

Twitter is fine on the actual site, so might just be their API bugging up a bit, or possibly something else. I haven't really traced it back too far but this is just what I see in front of me. Like I say I was getting the Fail Whale image loading up in the Twitter Retweet placeholders and it appears Geekzone was just waiting for these.

The twitter image is back.
My theory might have been true.



Do I win a prize? :P
