Lately I have the impression that Ipernity is acting sloooooow.
Pages take their time to load, images appear equally unhastily. Is that just me or my internet connection? Is it Ipernity's new backend? Or is it the amount of users and documents they post?
All in all: does Ipernity scale?

I've had similar experiences in the last time. Hm.

Slowness may happen for a minute or two for many reasons, but the global trafic is under the platform limitations.
We're taking this problem very seriously, let me know if this problem persists...

Well, this is all very subjective and more guessing than concrete observation.
I think I noticed a slowdown about two weeks ago. I had not changed anything on my system's configuration or net access (Germany, United Internet, 1024 line).
I did some "testing" yesterday evening and the average loading time for a "regular" docs-page on Ipernity was 6.2 seconds according to my browser (Firefox/3.0.4, Linux platform) including all graphics, no previous cache and scripts (partly, GA is blocked) enabled.
That time is not dramatic, but Ipernity just "feels" sluggish.
Interestingly enough - comparable to visiting a dotor - things seem a lot nicer now. Average load time has sort of halved to around 3 seconds.
The dynamic stuff, e. g. drop-down menus, also seem to respond quicker.
Keep in mind this is all purely subjective impression I had and is quite certainly not accurate at all.
I'll keep an eye on it, though, so I might be of more help next time. :)
