Why Gemtext pages loading so slow? It's because websocket? HTTP pages opening much faster, even larger in size..
2 months ago
Well, my problem was really in custom DNS resolver, not ethernet issue this time :) as Lagrange does not cache those responses, I got slow connections every time requesting the page.. · 2 months ago
I have Alfis DNS resolver, maybe some problem with this instance connection (as understand Lagrange does not cache that data like FF). Too many of reasons / customs here... · 2 months ago
@ps Probably an IP change after a power outage (had at least 2 this week), shouldn't time out now · 2 months ago
Let's make it slower. I want pages I request today to arrive next week. · 2 months ago
Could be something to do with your provider, or something at that level. There’s lots of infrastructure to cache/proxy/accelerate HTTP but nothing for Gemini. So when loading a website you could be using a CDN or provider-level cache, and loading Gemtext you actually have to reach around the world to get the bytes. · 2 months ago
strange, maybe that's really ethernet lags, because ~500 bytes of gemtext on iMac can't be the issue for CPU, lol · 2 months ago
@dimkr I can't open your capsule with connection timeout · 2 months ago
My capsule is hosted on a Raspberry Pi Pico W and the bottleneck is its CPU, not network :) · 2 months ago
Can’t say I’ve ever seen the kind of delays you are talking about. Even when doing Gemini on 20 year old hardware… · 2 months ago
Untill I'm waiting for new wire delivery, thoughts it would be also renderer specifics, that not same as in HTTP browser.
Just strange I'm always waiting and looking on loading tray when navigating gemini space, but never wait for pages using huge http.
Only I'm have this delays? Maybe realy that's just Ethernet + Websocket behaviour. · 2 months ago
lol, I have paranoia that's my ethernet connection again, just wrote this short article about the related issue: gemini://ps.cities.yesterweb.org/en/tricky-ethernet.gmi · 2 months ago

Thanks for link, seems this website opening with same speed as 9/10 :)
Maybe it's just my connection? I have 10Mbit that enough for simple gemtext page, just last time found that one one Ethernet cable was damaged once, maybe something happened again..
Is any method to debug the speed / connection in miliseconds using Gemini protocol? · 2 months ago
Mine is hosted on VPS for sure. Don’t think it’s slow, but maybe it can be a speed reference comparison for you. See if it’s faster or slower than you expect. gemini://brainsocks.xyz · 2 months ago
maybe.. just 9/10 capsules opening with that speed reminds me DSL times :) who knows, maybe they all really on Raspberry · 2 months ago
May depend where it's hosted. Someone experimenting on a Raspberry Pi behind their router on a residential line will be slower than a commercial VPS or dedicated hardware. · 2 months ago
