Recently we've received a number of complaints about the speed of our website or, more accurately, its lack of speed. This has puzzled us greatly because we have been unable to spot any problems with how things are working. If anything, we are faster than we've ever been.
Starting about a week ago however, another piece of the puzzle started showing up in some user reports - Norton. Here's an example:
I recently had problems with my computer. I had Windows XP reloaded and Norton antivirus put on my computer(Norton is new). I now find your site to run very slow. It takes anywhere from 5-10 seconds for a chart to come up where it use to be half that time or less. I do not seem to have this problem on other sites. Do you have any ideas what could be the issue. Could Norton be slowing things down? Is there a setting I could change? - T.S.We have tested and re-tested our website using several different combinations of Norton's software, different versions of Windows, and different browsers but we have not been able to duplicate this mysterious slowness.
So I wanted to ask the "blog-o-sphere" (hey, that's you!) for help. If you use Norton security software with Windows XP (or something similar), please add a comment at the bottom on this entry and let us know how fast (or slow) StockCharts.com works for you. Thanks in advance!
