Well, this is new. I was expecting at least someone with the same "problem".

I use Firefox 2 so I doubt it's my browser (and don't say I should use IE or something like that cause I wont) and my internet connection is working fine (downloads at around 1Mb/s). Are you all sure that you don't feel Gamespot loads at least a small bit slower than other sites? I find it that it sometimes works quite well (around 1-2 seconds to load a page) while other times it takes around 5-8 seconds to load a page (wich is horrendously slow in my opinion), is this your view of "fine" webspeed?

Gamespot.com is my number one gaming website, I visit it frequently several times a day and I keep getting amazed by it's content and features, however there's only one reason I haven't become a Total Access user yet (and I've thought of it for a long time now).

The reason is simple: the site is far too slow! I have high speed broadband, I browse several websites with tons of content, images, effects, etc but none are as slow as Gamespot. It's a shame being such a great website that you can't work more on performance and speed. Some pages take such a huge amount of time to load that it takes my memories back to the old dial-up modem times...

Seriously now, some serious work needs to be put into this, you can't say it's because of the amount of content because I know many sites with lots of contents without slow-downs. You can't say it's because of the amount of traffic because there are sites (for example the video-sites out there) that have a lot of traffic without hindering the browsing experience.

So before you start adding new cool features start working on speed!! And I will join you as Total Access in no time! I'm even willing to pay more than the 3 bucks a month it costs.
