Harry:
If you read the reviews and ratings for the hosting companies they often
have the data from tests of loading speeds, and uptime rates which can also
affect the speed with which you see a page load. Then there are the large
global networks that carry the content from the hosting server to your
computer, and those data are possible to track.. There is a web site that
provides a wealth of information and tools to track internet traffic
volumes and speeds, as well as many other tools. One of the factors that
has to be considered in loading time is the location of the host server and
where you are ... and it is not just a simple matter to evaluate the
circumstances; there are alternative routes from a given server to your
computer and the distances can vary depending on the routing because the
mileage could be different, but also because the speed over certain sections
of the route could be different.
Take a look at http://www.dnsstuff.com and check out some of the many tools.

Subject: [VICUG-L] the servers, or the isps, you decide
Hi all,
I have been someone who has been critical of internet service providers,
(ISPs) in the past, and yes, they can be slow, at times.
But the more I browse the web, I'm starting to think differently, and
what I'm thinking is, it might be the servers that web sites use.
For example, I'll give you 2 web sites that load fast on my computer:
www.acb.org
and a new one I found today:
messianicspecialties.com
It's amazing, how fast those pages loaded, the ACB page took only 5
seconds, and the 2nd site took only 3 seconds to load.
Then, there is a web page like
coasttocoastam.com
That web page, takes over 30 seconds to load for me.
For me, I use Google Chrome, the latest version, a 6 meg DSL connection,
and an 8 core processor computer.
So I'm wondering, what do you all think? Is it the ISPs, is it the web
site server? Also, have any of you gotten web pages on all web sites to
load in no more than 3 seconds? If you have, let people know how to do it!!!
