Why is the website so slow

Having a quick look in just now, the speed is slightly better but there is a delay with the reply button.

I'm using the site wifi so find the website plenty quick enough 

Upgraded it, have they? 

It is very slow at the moment. Lack of bandwidth at peak periods. 

Very slow again tonight, and there appears not to be many on it.

I tried to reply to the original post a year ago, but it has taken this long to load

i suspect that us “caravaners and Motorhomers” are meant to take it slow

My first time in a while using CT and I almost lost the will to live tonight.

I posted my first thread in between waiting for my MnS Garlic chicken kievs to heat up in my old and battered quest mini oven and by the time I have finished dinner was cooked, eaten and washed away 

Its so slow because the CC wouldn't go to the expense of having a proper web site designer do the job for them when it was last revamped.  Instead I believe it was done in house.

The result being that its so slow & clunky and prone to breakdowns. Its hardly fit for purpose but don't count on the CC doing anything about it anytime soon.

I suspect the slowness is to do with server capacity and the number of users online at any one time. Didn't the Club outsource the running of its servers a couple of years ago? Before that happened it seemed to be reasonably quick. It does not help that we have three advertisements that have to load every time you load a new page. I would agree that it is very frustrating waiting for pages to load and this has been flagged up many times in the recent past.

outsourcing the infrastructure or the 'service' doesn't (shouldn't) remove a company's desire/requirement to provide something that its customers can actually use sensibly....

havent the club ever heard of Service Review Meetings, Service Level Agreements and the like?
