PageLoad Speed (Experimentation)

I cannot really tell if it's my internet connection or what, but I'm doing some testing on the DriverWiki and I'm trying to work out if it going slower or faster.

So I'm wondering if you think the wiki's loading differently.

http://www.driverwiki.com/index.php?title=Main_Page
http://www.wiki.drivermadness.net/index ... =Main_Page

Try them both, tell me if you think there is a difference in page loading time. When I've tried it it sometimes takes 20 seconds for a page to load.

I'm not sure what the problem is, but if everyone can test to two links they'll be great. :)

Yeah, try at a couple of different times.
I've been having trouble the past couple of days and sometimes it goes normal speed and sometimes it doesn't.

I thought it had something to do with the upgrade, but it looks like it's having a problem with the upgraded and the non-upgraded version.

Upgraded

Therefor it looks like a problem with the server :S :(
I look into it some more later today. 8)

Fixes security issues, but also adds a lot more functionality.

There is a pretty long list.

Here is an example of a change
Special:Shortpages and Special:Longpages now return pages in all content namespaces, not just the main namespace.
http://www.driverwiki.com/index.php?tit ... Shortpages
http://www.wiki.drivermadness.net/index ... ShortPages

You can see the differences :D .
