Is the site slow...?

it has seemed slow

OK here stu.

I suppose it gives the bot time to nip in front of your trade.

yep, it's variable, just hanging every now and again in markets and placement etc

Just switched from chrome to edge was like treacle much better now.

could be my brower interaction with BF, yep though I tend to only use this one (Chrome)

was fine before on chrome

really lagging on the 3.35 - later races seem ok.  What is going on...its an absolute joke!

Also can see it when loading pages like my P&L where it hangs, then loads after a delay...

answered your own question earlier -

plenty of issues

Is this why I don't always get the racecard colours?

Probably not, but does explain why you post three times!

Stewart's rise.

Try to do this just once but no promises

update: I have tried edge and it did improve it. May be browser issue in link to BF pages, as suggested above.

Sticky here

I've ditched Chrome here. Not fit for purpose. IE and Firefox have saved the bacon but no surprise to see more threads like this in the near future.

Not as slow as settling 6.45

site and forum issues I think - just posted something on Baryshnikov - shouldn't think I was the only one on it - but no-one else complaining - might just be me - we do live in a simulation - right?

started slowing on the first at Ascot!!!!!

Yes - 'Spinning Clock' - Placing Bets (or Trying to) on 1:45 Ascot.

Is your ISP Virgin Media Cable by any chance?

Markets (been) 'freezing' intermittently during some races - But other times OK - as, just as I type (sods Law)

Speed Test not quite as efficient as usual - although still fairly good = 120 or/to 133 as opposed to normal and regular 140 - but then - 140 will appear again.

Not many others been posting on this Thread - and as I type  last 2 races entirely uninterrupted along with high Speed Test Mbps - which leans me towards Virgin/Router possibly, as opposed to Betfair  ....

But, then again, knowing Betfair's denial culture... 

I am on Virgin yes onlooker - though not sure why it should affect only BF? All other sites running fast and fine?

my markets get slower nearer to off time - weird eh?

Feels like server issues, if due to load..?

I have noticed for last few days that BF system is running slow. It is most noticeable of course  when betting in running and the response from BF system is that it takes an extra second or so for a bet to be accepted by the BF system. It doesnt sound a lot but if you are playing in running then you are trying to place your next bet before the previous one has actually gone through and consequently you dont know where you are. I also note that the racecard colours are not loaded all of the time unless you refresh. and of course that also takes up time.Think I will give it a break until they have sorted it

Betting inrun is slow last few days

I will say that it seemed to improve for me when I cleared the cache (Chrome) though still not great.

think the issue is you've all noticed.

you're not meant to notice.  maybe just stop being so perceptive.

Every time I clear cooks it's better again

But then I'm on a phone

Treacle again for me today. Even on different browsers - other sites fine, speedchecker says broadband fine..

Might try the old favourite delete cookies, though not sure why I should need too....??

slowing up for me just as the racing starting...great timing!

piston, i've had the colours missing a lot this week, plus a few stacking bets, offsets not matching until after other backs have gone in.

its barely useable - takes upto a minute to get a bet on!!

And ure trading rev. Geez

they've slowed you down revs

you'll probably also notice if you click to place stake, say £20, it will jump over and make the odds 20, not the stake.

hoping you'll not notice and lay it at the price they want.

Half a mill on next race

Just a £10 bet but christ its difficult...I wouldn't dare trade near the off with these issues

90% of the time if I place a bet in the market it immediately pushes against me, anyone would think these markets were fixed!

you not read any of my 108 freds revs ??

easy to brush one person off as nonsense,  you're seeing the same thing.  rico has seen stuff.

padis problem was always going to be people noticing what he's up to. 

didn't all come down with the last shower.

it'll come out in the end

i presume you've pressed cash out for a profit in the past revs.

more you do that, more it alerts padi.  do it too many times, you'll find markets going against you and your account running like glue. 

condition of padi's licence is - ensuring that gambling is conducted in a fair and open way

I virtually never use cash out so I wouldn't read too much into that

Impossible to get a bet on near the off as I'm being slowed down that much.  It can take 30 seconds to get it placed, almost waiting for the "please wait, your bet has been referred to traders for a decision"

site slow, graphs not appearing, forum treacle/gone at times, good betfair are continually improving the site

Seems fine for everybody else - revs

What are you using?

Desktop Computer - Laptop - Tablet - Phone ?

Who is your ISP ?

When did you last Clear Cookies & Cache - etc ?

I have to say everybody, my computer and internet speed are very good but the last month the Betfair site is running very slow.
Can be very dangerous on the Exchanges!

I agree, it has periods of treacle.

The forum was a little erratic about half an hour ago but ok now.

Forum is on a separate Server - No connection or correlation to the Main Betting site ...

Forum, therefore, has always been erratic - No matter what is, or is not, happening with the Betting Markets.

hmmm - intriguing ....

can it be a technical problem if the site slows increasingly towards the off time?

found this thread on google, have to say its same with me now, all other sites load fine, only betfair is the problem.
