Re: Response time from perlmonks

I turned off a lot of the nodelets and that seemed to help a little bit. I suspect it's load related as I've noticed it seems more sluggish during lunchtime on the US east coast.

I'm not sure what is meant by turning off a nodelet. I only have a maximum of one nodelet showing in my browser (Firefox) at any one time, so there doesn't seem to be anything to turn off. Can highly XPd monks display many nodelets at one time? I think I should perhaps have posted this to SoPW, as I really wanted an answer as to whether/how it is possible to find out directly how long the server is taking---as I explain in my post, there are so many other factors that could be affecting the response. I posted here because it "concerns the perlmonks site", but that was probably an inXPd way to proceed. The same code could then perhaps be used to interrogate non-monkish websites that are running slowly. Thanks dbae	[reply]

In your "user settings" (see your user page), you can enable or disable various nodelets. See What are Nodelets?. Many of them apparently fetch content and that can slow things down.
