I have a friend whose wife is Korean and accesses Korean websites. When
these pages load it takes a very long time to load, but whenever she
accesses non-Korean websites the load speed improves tremendously. He also
logged in under his profile and received the same outcome.
Any thoughts on why?
Could be a number of things:
- the web design of the Korean site
- the number of people hitting the Korean site
- the power of the server on the Korean site
- the load of the server on the Korean site
- the bandwidth of the network connection between the client machine and the Korean site
- the DNS configuration
- the rendering of Korean fonts by the client
- probably something else I can't think of right now
The only sure way to test is to hold all variable constant except one, and then compare any difference. For example, create two static pages on the Korean site: one Korean and one non-Korean. And then request both of pages, measuring the time.
Could there possibly be an Asian language based virus?
Where, on the server or on your friend's machine?
Thanks to any and all that can help.
What kind of system is the client machine? What browser? Do you have any sample URLs for comparison?
