[SOLVED] We'd like your help - LQ is choosing a CDN

GrapefruiTgirl · 09-09-2009, 11:33 AM

After the workaround, I get the page, and it seems to look fine.

running texmex's script now...

Using the script from H_TeXMeX_H's post and adding the new link, I get the following results:

Code:

pwc@mike ~ $ bash ./lq_test.sh

Code:

bash-3.1$ sh lqtest

Here's another run, with no other network activity (not really the difference I had expected):

Using wget -pH

cdnl: 0.08sec
cf: 0.06 sec
front: 0.07 sec
scdn: 0.06s
local: 0.2 sec

Which is a little odd since cf seemed slower in a browser.

So far we seem to be having good results with SimpleCDN, so I am working it into the live site. If anyone has any issues or notices a substantial performance difference, let me know.

jeremy · 09-15-2009, 09:45 AM

Most images have now been moved over to the new CDN. As no members have yet reported an issue, I'm hoping this will become our permanent provider. As always, additional feedback is welcome.

Seems OK here.

When I click a link or enter a URL in the address bar, everything seems normal. When I reload a page, however, the browser (Firefox 3.0.14) is left hanging with a "Waiting for e1h7.simplecdn.net..." in the status bar (with the progress bar somewhere between 30% and 70%, and the activity indicator animated). I'm behind a Squid proxy, so I disabled proxy usage to test for differences and I found that while all the symptoms remain, the status bar message changes to "Read www.linuxquestions.org". In my case, this is reproducible and it's not happening on any other websites AFAICT.

EDIT: Seems like it ain't happening any more. Hmmm, weird.

jeremy · 09-17-2009, 09:25 AM

If it happens again, please let me know ASAP so I can attempt to debug.

Jeremy:

At this moment, I am seeing (or actually NOT seeing) missing icons in the left-hand sidebar. The online/offline Tux is missing.

Are you working on something?

EDIT: Looks like only the 'offline' Tuxes.

I'm seeing them - albeit 2 hours later.
