Fifth Street Gardens August 10, 2024 - Photo Test #1

That delay was seen here as well, thank you for reporting it.

Try closing your browser and then coming back in.

Xfinity did some upgrades in Davis this week and it caused a bottleneck of traffic for residential users, UC Davis was spared from this of course (just like PG&E power outages), how lucky they are. :)

All Internet service provided by XFinity in Davis has been slow, when it wasn't 100% down this week.

Davisgardens.com is running on a global load balanced cloud so it should serve huge amounts of data and photos fast, At present there is no limit, so technically you could upload 1000 high resolution photos and they will all take, but the end clog will be at the end connection.

There may be a need to limit speed on serving large files like photos and videos, but as of now in this testing period there are no limitations from the serving side of Davisgardens.com and those would be limited to the end target and their service provider.

Please do provide more information if you can. Thank you.
 
I closed the tab for the Davis Gardens Forum and reopened it, and now most pictures have filled in (which could be a coincidence) - they fill in from top of each image to the bottom at differing rates, and I can't tell why they start and stop downloading. It may be a function of my scrolling over the image links, but some seem to fill independent of that. Comcast/internet speed is a big issue in our household. We have a number of different variables, and we used to rely on some CAT 5 cable I ran on the outside of the house for connection upstairs, but we now power pretty much everything (TVs, phones, computers) via WIFI (the cable degraded). I just installed a WIFI extender on the upstairs landing and it seems (as a result of google speed test) to greatly improve upstairs reception. It is, of course, a hard thing to troubleshoot because it could sometimes be Comcast and the way they burst data, the overall load on the Comcast coax, or who is sharing the same channel in the house, or the overall load in the house, or the router/cable modem needing a reset.

PS scrolling through the pictures now they are all present.

Thanks Mike. The exact same thing happened to me as well today, right when you mentioned it. It showed all of the photos at loading at about 38% and then just quit. I looked at the server output which is actually from San Francisco and New York, supposedly at the same time but it didn't match and show that the whole bottleneck from right here in Davis with Xfinity. So it was only residential. It did not occur on UC Davis servers which seem to be some of the most bullet proof on the face of the planet.

Please do update more about how these images are loading for you.

We added the Central Park Gardens today and will likely go by there tomorrow and take and upload a huge amount of photos to do a 'stress test'. I looked at all the photos uploaded today and did see that they were slower than they should be, and even had to close the browser myself and open it again and then they all loaded fast. I think you might have been trying to look at those while they were still uploading.

Thank you for your feedback and please do keep it up. We will get this working right.
