Slow LQ + full of ads...

Xeratul · 07-03-2017, 11:04 AM

hi,

I have an ink ebook, large screen, and can read and work a lot with it, even browsing, preserving eye sight condition, and working anywhere/any time.

Slow LQ full of ads... compared to https://dev1galaxy.org clean and fast.

what may be reason pf such differences? the server of lq slow or ads, or other causing effects?

Yes, I've noticed that too. On the other hand, this isn't a commercial site so it has to finance itself somehow. To be fair, the slow speed is mostly when you are just visiting. Once you are logged in, it all goes much faster.

You could always use adblock.

Some years ago, wasnt as today, Pitty for the whole website

Maybe there are stuffs to learn from "real" Debian, they maybe have a fast server, no?
Or... I live close to it

Thanks for the feedback. LQ has not added a new ad slot for guests in many years and actually removed one recently. We show very few ads once you register and never show you ads once you have a few posts. Debian doesn't seem like an apt comparison, as they get large corporate donations of both money (through SPI) and servers/bandwidth/mirrors.

Ads are one thing, but it seems to me that there may be things to do with the code of the website, but I have no single idea. Debian has a probably good efficient/servers/bandwidth/mirrors.

Anyhow there might be good that no ads are there, so that, we can support better the origin of free software fundation and education.

Joke, maybe they run it on a Open/FreeBSD server
