I have been visiting some sites hosted on GAE and I found them to be very slow.
Pretty much all of them take longer than usual to load.
Time: (in seconds) [ YSlow ]
9.9 giftag.com
3.1 hotskills.net
1.9 jeeyo.net
1.5 appspot.com
Is it that App Engine Cloud is too slow, Bigtable is too slow … or what?
You’re using the YSlow plugin to measure this, and YSlow tells you why the site is slow (the cunning name is the clue). For example, in the case of gifttag.com, YSlow reports that:
So it’s get an ‘E’ grade for that. That’s going to kill the perceived load performance of the site.
None of this has anything to do with appengine.
