Why is the Off-Campus Access Service (proxy) slow at times?
In general, using the proxy is only marginally slower than surfing the web without the proxy. However, there are times when access through the proxy is noticeably slower. There are many possible bottlenecks that can cause slowness, including: • The server at the other end may be overloaded or otherwise bogged down. • Your computer may not be connected to the Internet at optimal speed. • Overall network speeds may be slow during high use periods. • Our proxy server may have a problem. In most cases, the server at the other end is responsible. Occasional slowness is not usually cause for alarm. If the slowness persists over different times and days, then there may be an issue that needs addressing.
