Is the site too slow?

Tips for users who are experiencing slow response:

Some users of Neurology Online CME from outside of USA/Canada have reported slow response to us, especially when they are viewing the full text of articles. This slowness is primarily caused by overloaded networks between the US and Europe at certain times of the day, by slow network links in some parts of Europe, and by the large size of the full-text articles. There are some things that you can do to improve response.

• Most important: avoid using the site at the times of your day when the east coast of the US is at work. This will improve your response time by a factor of two or three.
• Look first at Abstracts, which usually arrive in about 1/10th the time of a full article, if you are not certain you want to see a full article. You can do this by clicking on the [Abstract] link in a table of contents or in a search result.
• Increase the size of the cache that Netscape uses to save items that it has already seen. This will avoid returning to the server to get a symbol or a button that has already been seen before. You can change this in "Preferences/Advanced/Cache--Disk Cache".
• Change the "Page in cache..." (Mac) or "Document in cache..." (Windows) radio button in "Preferences/Advanced/Cache" to "Once per session". This will ensure a minimum number of inquiries to the server.
• Upgrade to the latest version of your browser. Each new version appears to have noticeable speed improvements, perhaps on the order of 20%.
