I am having problems on this site all weekend, and is hanging me up today big time. Pages not loading etc.

Any clues? Any thoughts? It is really irritating me big time.

When this hangs up my loading bar is 90% filled. And sits there!

Yahoo is slow for me, and Weather.com both have many ads!

google analytics is what webmasters use to track their site traffic. one needs an account with Google to use it

so it may be that some websites you are visiting are experiencing a lag while logging your visit to their analytics? just guessing

Well, it is showing up only here for me, and stalling me out.

I wonder if it is connected to the other Google problems I am having? (slow and stalled requests)

It is especially problematic when I hit User CP and New Posts.
And it is not every minute, but here and there.

hmmm now that is strange

one can see in the lower left corner while a page is loading...if it goes via analytics, that is where it will show. Mine flashes by so quickly here on NT that I cannot even see the stages from loading to done

so yes, it may be related to Google connection probs in your area

your internet service should be able to run a trace route for you to see where the slowdown is happening I think....

Is that happening with Firefox only or IE also??
Have you flushed the browser cache or cleaned out possible bad cookies?
Tips here - FF/Mozilla -

I'll try that flush.... but we do 3 scans for cookies each weekend, and most are empty? duh?

It is Firefox. newest edition.

It has to be the internet, because it was happening on the upstairs laptops this morning too.

Yesterday is was TERRIBLE...
Today, now it seems okay, but I would stall out and the
analytics would freeze in the little box on the lower left of the page. That is how I saw it so well.

Yesterday our DSL was blinking red, on and off. Today it seems okay, and hubby rebooted everything just in case. We've had storms for two days, passing thru, and now another is just overhead ready to blast away. They are not really severe, but I wonder if the flooding in other states has affected the routing of the net where we are?

This problem has severely impaired my ability to move around here, so I've just stayed off for the most part. I typically get on, then freeze up just when I need to have stuff working!
