Ebay

By simon, 7 April, 2004

OK, Its not to do with dirtbikes, just a bit of a rant.


I occasionally buy and sell things off ebay, heck they have enough
items/transactions there to last a few lifetimes.

But why is it so goddam slow? And i'm talking about just the intro page, my
ebay etc.

Its not like there is heavy graphical content! I understand that pictures in
items for sale will take longer, and have no problems with that.

But just by using it and browsing around, I have to conclude that its the
slowest site on the 'net.

It looks like its running Microsoft IIS, perhaps thats the problem, it
wouldn't surprise me (I'm an apache fan).

Amazon appears to be faster, and they have graphics all over the place.

Perhaps Amazon lets you cache the pictures or something.

Whatever it is, I wish they'd fix it.

Just server load, they probab

Just server load, they probably had more people on their site at the same time then nornal which overloaded the server and slow'd everything down for everyone, no matter what type of connection you had.
