Same website slow on different computers

Post by wasir »

I have a website made in php. For some reason it works fine on some computers but on some it gets very very slow.

taking example of a login page - simple php; mysql connection; no javascript; declaring cookie to remember the user (instead of session).

has anyone else experienced the same with their projects?

When you say "different computers", do you mean clients or servers?

Also, what browsers/OS? Generally if you are processing everything on the server side it normally shouldn't matter which client your on, unless there is something really weird going on, i.e., chunked transfer encoding not being handled correctly on older browsers.

Different Clients. All computers I am testing (on both Firefox and IE) on are fairly new.
I am in process of migrating to different hosting company. So far I can see the difference in speed. But I don't understand the logic why it's slow on particular computers.
