Dear Abby: whenever I click on the url for the Rivendell Bicycle Works
site, the page grinds and grinds and grinds and, in other words, loads
very, very slowly, often timing out before loading. What can I do to
ease the pain?

Patrick Moore, even now at this very moment --- aha! It just loaded.
45 seconds. But the question stands.

Dear Patrick,

It just loaded in about 20 seconds for me.  I suspect the resistance is caused by negative intrapsychic phenomena.  Do you think about your bank balance while loading Riv Bicycle Works?  Or is your wife standing close to the computer?

Works fine for me, loads in seconds.

I would do the usual - try another browser, clear cookies/cache.

I've noticed this from the iPad and when manually typing the address I don't see the issue. To that end I would suggest deleting the history and try again. It would also indicate issues with the browser attempting to load the site from cache.

Loaded in about 3 seconds on my iPad.

Thanks. Must have been bad vibes from my ex-wife and ex-bank account.
Noted the advice to clear cache, etc. Or perhaps it's traffic. At any
rate, loaded just now in sub 10.

Yes, I've noticed some site quirkiness along those lines....

BUT!

For site issues and anything specific to the operation or responsiveness thereof, best to at least cc RBW directly:



"Dave Schoenborg [email]

Model Specialties: Sam Hillborne, Simpleone.

Ever since July 2008. Email Dave with any website feedback, bug reports or broken links. "

and that email would be da...@rivbike.com

And I imagine it would be helpful to mention - 

Computer type/Operating system
Browser and version
Time/Date specifics as to when and how those anomalies were occurring.
