Hi Ryan,

Looks good from here, you should try a traceroute to that host, I think that's actually your problem... Or are you on a local network with that machine? Try the traceroute nevertheless, who knows how your hub is acting up... :)

Hi,
No problem, Just need a little advise on improving my page display time, let
me explain:

I am using some ad software (written in php) which is giving me 5 ads
(banners) to display on a page dynamically (eg: they rotate, banner code is
given at the end of this mail)
I have put all 5 banners on a page my themselfes, renamed the file to
TestingAds.php and used a microtime function to see whats the script
execution time like so:

<?php
function mtime() {
        $time = explode(" ", microtime());
        $micro = doubleval($time[0]);
        $sec = doubleval($time[1]);
        return $micro + $sec; }
        $start = mtime();
?>
html and banner code here
<?php
  $end = mtime();
$total = $end - $start;
echo "Total script execution time: $total";
  ?>

I ran TestingAds.php 10 times and these are the numbers, you dont have to
take an averige to see they are pretty good:
 0.00024902820587158
 0.00027501583099365
 0.00025904178619385
 0.00027906894683838
 0.00043702125549316
 0.00036203861236572
 0.00045394897460938
 0.00024497509002686
 0.00025498867034912
 0.00025796890258789

then i took those ads and placed them exactly where they have to go on my
index.php page, then reloaded the page 10 times and got these numbers:
 0.00018906593322754
 0.00066602230072021
 0.00055098533630371
 0.00054502487182617
 0.00054800510406494
 0.00055789947509766
 0.00054597854614258
 0.00056195259094238
 0.00056302547454834
 0.00049996376037598

The numbers look pretty good (i think), but when i actually visit the page
it takes  a bit long to load...even though I am on a pretty fast connection,
any idea why this is the case? my page takes around 20 seconds to load and
there is a white screen till everything is loaded then BLAM its all done.
What can i do so that my page loads faster or atleast shows the page to the
visitor and then loads one ad after another so the visitor can see the page
loading instead of just a white screen?


This is the banner code:
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript"
SRC="http://jumac.com/ads/ads.php?jscript;zone=tower";></SCRIPT><NOSCRIPT><IF
RAME SRC="http://jumac.com/ads/ads.php?iframe;zone=tower"; MARGINWIDTH=0
MARGINHEIGHT=0 HSPACE=0 VSPACE=0 FRAMEBORDER=0 SCROLLING=NO WIDTH=121
HEIGHT=601><A
HREF="http://jumac.com/ads/ads.php?banner=NonSSI;page=01;zone=tower";
TARGET="_blank"><IMG SRC="http://jumac.com/ads/ads.php?page=01;zone=tower";
BORDER=0></A></IFRAME></NOSCRIPT>

here is the TestingAds page:
http://bestwebhosters.com/TestingAds.php

I have not included the main page that i have already setup the ads because
right now its still be touched up and nothing on the page works but if you
still want to see it just write to me and tell me.

Thanks for your time.
Cheers,
-Ryan
