Why is the M&R website sooooooo slooooooowww?
« on: September 02, 2015, 04:10:26 PM »
It's always been so slow for me.

I'm talking, I was just on store.mrprint.com and looking at a listing of 1-10 of 14 items.  I clicked to go to page 2 and I literally sat there for 45 seconds before it went to the next page.  To be fair, it's not always THAT slow... but on average about 5 seconds to even respond that I clicked on a link.  Just shows "waiting for store.mrprint.com...." in the status.

This is at home with 50mb cable connection and at the office with a 10mb fiber line, and on multiple devices.

Never been slow for me, ever...... LOL..... I've never had an issue ordering on the m&r store or navigating the website so I would assume it's not on their end but I'm not much into the computer knowledge

We are moving to a new facility and there will be times during the move when servers will be overloaded.

You guys run your webservers in house?

That would explain things.

Ever looked into putting them into a datacenter somewhere?

Hosting your own site is a terrible idea these days...unless you just feel like wasting a bunch of time and money to ensure redundancy, security, compliance with all kinds of crap, keep hardware up to date, etc.  We hosted our site at my former employer for a while and holy crap was it awful.  99% of the issues we had went away as soon as I got them switched to a VPS.  No more issues with outages, no more upgrading the server hardware and licenses every few years, no more huge labor costs to keep it all working, etc.
