Slow site?

Is it only me?
Or anyone else is having slow response to open any page of this great site?
I have this slowness since 2 weeks and I have the best speed available on my country: 4mb (You guys with super fast connections don´t laugh)

It's been a little slow for me from time to time, but nothing major, pages always load.
P.S. I have a 2Mb cable line at home
Dave
its ok for me
are you guys talking mega bytes or mega bits
ive got 7.2 megabits
It loads slowly trying to login and opening up a forum. Other than that it seems good. According to speedtest 25 megabits from work
It's been pretty quick for me lately. In fact, it's been better, since I no longer seem to get HTTP 5xx Server errors anymore. Speedtest.net says about 5 mbps from home over type N Wi-Fi.

@orb: Did not notice any speed difference myselft either. BTW I have a dialup connection using a USB modem . normally any page opens within 2-4 seconds (Always, should be more appropriate). Could it be that your firewall or router acting itchy?
Thanks for your reply
No it was not any firewall or router...
It happens randomly form time to time now is ok
Cheers,
I've noticed this too over the last few weeks, both at home >1.5Mb connection and even at work where the connection is 100Mb
May I add; nearly every morning about 01:30Hrs the site becomes unreachable for about 3mins. Though this may be due to backups
Forums been very slow for me. 15 seconds to just load the reply page.
The current problem discussion is here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=510704
Yes, although not for weeks, bust for last 3 days, I am getting pathetically low speeds while opening pages here at New Delhi, India. Its taking around 15-70 seconds to open a page. I am on a 256 kbps line and all the other websites are working absolutely fine. Torrents are even giving 37-40 KBps / 296-320 Kbps (theoratically not possible on my connection )
But its a lot better today. I am getting pages in 3-5 seconds at the moment. I have also noticed that when its night here in India, pages start opening slow. I guess the other side of the globe is more active at that time

The site's up and running at full speed now. The admins fixed the problem around midnight (BST) last night.

the site is popular
Time to look into cachefly. It is a great option to server balance without the need for additional servers. Someone at the top should go check it out and see if it would fulfill any needs for XDA. It is worth the look after all, ad banners generate faster with more pageloads...
FYI, for me the site is painfully slow. The initial html loads fine but anything needing the forum database is at a crawl.
Love the site, thank you admins and all helpers!
im on here all the time i have a 8mgb connection and its slow from other conenctions also... not always i guess when the site gets overloaded, i wish we could update the bandwidth or w.e is causing this for the site
I still get a slow site.... when browsing the forum it takes a few secs (5-10) to open a page... and it only happens on this site
i have a 16Mb connection!

It's slow for me also.
I have 8.89 Mbps download speed, and the XDA site is really slow today. I've noticed the page transitions were slow the past several times I have gotten on the web site, but today is the slowest I've seen so far.
for some reason it seems to be running like a turtle today...
Same here
Perhaps we are now too many users?!
I was getting 500 Internal Server errors on the home page earlier when the forums would not load for me.

[Q] Data traffic to svc.spd.samsungdm.com

Hi. I hope this is the appropriate forum...
I have an i747 running stock AT&T firmware. Un-rooted.
Over the last few weeks, I've noticed that my battery drain has increased and often my phone will be warm when I'm not near WIFI suggesting that the radio is active. I've also noticed that when I'm not connected to WIFI, the 4G/LTE icon at the top often indicates that there's data activity in progress.
So I set up a sniffer on my firewall to monitor the phone's data traffic when on WIFI. Here's what I found:
Within seconds of enabling WIFI on the phone, it appears that there are a handful of DNS requests. Most are for google apps (mtalk.google.com and a few others). Those aren't surprising. Then there are a number of lookups for svc.spd.samsungdm.com which maps to a pair of servers in the amazon cloud.
Immediately following that is a back-and-forth stream of HTTPS traffic to these samsungdm.com servers. I've been monitoring for the last 30 minutes while my phone has sat idle on the table with the screen turned off and this back-and-forth traffic has not stopped.
Google doesn't turn up much info about this domain. Any ideas what this is and why it's so chatty?
I know this is an old thread, but I just recently started to investigate this issue as well. I have found that those servers are related to SELinux policy updates within the Touchwiz framework. A packet is sent to the server to initiate a request through TLSv1.2, the servers exchange keys and then a packet is sent to see if the policies are up-to-date or not. If not, i'm assuming that policies are then sent directly to the device over https(port 443). If you have auto update on for SELinux policies, then you will most likely see a good amount of battery drain.
I started to look into this issue because if you can attempt to get your device to download a malformed security policy, then you could possibly bypass SELinux and Samsung KNOX as well. I'm not totally sure but it sure would help out a lot.

Network Sign In....not remembering login details

When using public wifi the 'Network login' page appears and I sign it as normal. For 99% of sites this works great and it remembers my login details from site to site.
However on Cisco web portals it doesn't remember the details. My old HTC would remember but it used Chrome for the Network login, the Nexus isn't using Chrome as such so I've no control over this.
I've search around and found a few other people with the same issue, I'm wondering it its a Android 6 bug / feature ? Does anyone know a fix ? Thanks

About Google Scripts

It seems that your site is using CDN services from Google.
It would be nice,but there is a serious problem:
Not all countries in the world are Google-friendly.
There is a certain Asian country which name starts with a "C" banished Google from its national Intranet.
And I live in that particular country,
so when I enter "forum.xda-developers.com",most of time I have to wait long,and just got a error page.
I am using a VPN to access this site,and I don't think it will survive long.
Maybe you can store those common scripts on your own server instead of borrowing from Google.
This is an international forum,isn't it?

nice post

Help with Security Message when trying to connect to Wfi

When I try to sign into my company's Wifi, it normally takes me 1.1.1.1 page and says "The network you're trying to join has security issues."
I "Continue Anyway VIA Browser" and it takes me to a login/pw page. After I put in the credentials, I'm connected into my network.
Now, I am being directed to the Cloudfare 1.1.1.1 page. My co-worker's IOS and Samsung device has no issues. It takes them directly to the login/pw page.
Any ideas?
Thank you!
Long story short, your phone is behaving correctly. Complain to your company's IT department for using hardware (probably Cisco) that improperly uses a public IP address for internal captive portal use. This is essentially up to that hardware vendor to fix and your company's IT department to apply said fix. Here's more info from Cloudflare's Blog.
Thank you!
