Bridge Maven Posted March 4, 2011 #1 Share Posted March 4, 2011 When this website is very slow, I have discovered that if I log out and come back to the website without logging in it is much faster. Is it possible that the "cookie monster" has an adverse affect on speed when someone is logged into cruse critic? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bridge Maven Posted March 4, 2011 Author #3 Share Posted March 4, 2011 Absolutely.. ccletzgo, I've decided that since the cookie situation makes cruise critic very slow when I am logged in, I will only log in to reply to messages. It is just as easy to read posts when I am not logged in and the website is much faster that way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aside from the website's speed there is another advantage to reading cruise critic posts when I am not logged in. It makes me think twice about posting a reply when I have to log in to do so :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare ORV Posted March 6, 2011 #6 Share Posted March 6, 2011 Absolutely.. I'm curious what you are basing this on. Personal experience? IT professional? I just got a new computer and it certainly has made a difference in how fast things go on the internet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know whether to blame AOL, CruiseCritic or my computer! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Essiesmom Posted March 7, 2011 #8 Share Posted March 7, 2011 All I know is, if I use Chrome, I don't have to log in every time, and it doesn't log me out if I am inactive for a time. PLUUUSSS!!! I can't see those awful Google ads, such as the filthy toilet!!! Each banner shows 'Unable to connect to the' and the Chrome logo. EM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bridge Maven Posted March 12, 2011 Author #9 Share Posted March 12, 2011 While the cruise critic website is faster when I don't log in than when I do, I find it is even faster when I open cruise critic in an incognito window, where there are no cookies at all :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bridge Maven Posted March 12, 2011 Author #10 Share Posted March 12, 2011 Another thing that helps. I've reset my cookie preferences to block all third party cookies. It doesn't make a noticeable difference on most of the websites I use, but it makes a significant difference on cruise critic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
