Hi John,

When I click on my blog's url, the upload time is really sloooooooooooooow. I think it's probably because I added a bunch of Linkshare image ads to my blog and the connection to them is the problem. Just checking, though, to see if BlogHarbor is having any technical issues.

As I am sure you already know, we're more than willing to 'fess up when the problem is ours. But tonight, there does not appear to be any issue with our system. All of the objective monitors and my subjective eyes show the system is running quite smoothly.

I looked at your page and the problem was quite clearly with the third party ads you were showing....

When you have 3rd party ads, images, javascript, etc., your browser will wait a certain amount of time for that content to load before it will finally give up, move on, and display what it's got.

What you're looking at is your browser waiting for your ads to arrive before it can load the rest of the HTML. Since it needs to wait for all the HTML before it knows what to display, your page seems to be stalling... The problem lies with the 3rd party ads.

I thought the reason was my ads but was just hoping it was something else. Rolling Eyes

Do you know from other blogger's experience if there's any difference in upload time for text versus image ads?

By the by, thanks for such a speedy post.

There are too many variables to make general statements. Large images loaded from fast servers on fast networks will probably load faster than small text from slow servers on slow networks...
