Default Web Site Slowness

Recently dorkiphus.net became so slow for me it is barely tolerable. I click on any link (Chrome) and it takes 10-15 seconds to receive a response. If I open other sites in the same browser, the responses are instantaneous, and if I use a Safari, the results are the same for dorkiphus and other sites. This is also the same regardless of computers I use or tablets.

Any one else experiencing this or is it just me?

I use both Safari on a Mac and FireFox on Windows and haven't seen any problems outside of very occasional random slowness (one page takes a bit to load).

For those with issues, how long have you been having problem?

A couple of data points:

Search on user name Eric S, all forums, last week = no return after 4 minutes
Second attempt worked OK

Download http://dorkiphus.net/porsche/attachm...4&d=1394150259
Took over 20 minutes when he posted it earlier this week. Just tried it again and it looks to be just as slow tonight.

Chrome, FWIW.

Not work computer but home PC and IPad working well. IPad can be slow when away from home but that's more a function of provider than anything else.
