PII 059: Read This And Understand Why Your Internet Access Is Sometimes Slow<\/h1>\n

Do you know what happens when you type a web address or URL (like www.tayosolagbade.com<\/a>) into your Internet Explorer browser's URL entry bar, and click \"GO\" or press \"Enter\"? Read this article to learn what happens, and how\/why this process sometimes can become slow to the point that it frustrates users like yourself!<\/p>\n

(TIP:<\/strong> This article is 10 years old this month. It was first published online via spontaneousdevelopment.com - now defunct<\/a> - on\u00a01st March 2007 | I republished it via tayosolagbade.com on Jun 29, 2012<\/a> - and I'm re-purposing it here, as a public service via\u00a0tayosolagbade.com\/sdnuggets<\/a> - my blog - today, 27th March 2017)<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Do you know what happens when you type a web address or URL (like www.tayosolagbade.com) into your Internet Explorer browser's URL entry bar, and click \"GO\" or press \"Enter\"?<\/h3>\n

-----------------------------------------------------<\/p>\n

Note:\u00a0<\/em><\/strong>URL means \"Uniform Resource Locator\" and is the address for a resource(e.g. website) on the internet. It actually represents a unique string of numbers called an Internet Protocol(IP) address e.g. 164.205.65.105. Since words\/names are easier for people to remember than numbers, URLs are used to specify website addresses - while the internet server \"interpretes\" it to mean the \"number String\" address equivalent.<\/em><\/p>\n

-----------------------------------------------------<\/p>\n

The following describe the sequence of events that occurs:<\/strong><\/p>\n

1.\u00a0Internet Explorer sends the web address(www.tayosolagbade.com) to your ISP(Internet Service Provider).<\/p>\n

2.\u00a0The ISP sends \"www.tayosolagbade.com\" to the nearest node of the Domain Name Server(i.e. DNS, which is actually a set of databases shared amongst servers that stores the numeric addresses of Web sites. A new domain name e.g. tksola.com is added \"or propagated\" to these databases during the first few weeks after the domain name is registered. Only after this has been done, will it be possible to type the domain name into a browser and not get a \"Page not found\" error message).<\/p>\n

3.\u00a0The DNS returns the site's numeric(IP) address to your Internet Explorer(watch the status bar of your browser when next you're doing this online).<\/p>\n

4.\u00a0Your Internet Explorer sends the IP address to a router, which checks the traffic on the Internet, and finds the least busy path to the server containing the website(www.tayosolagbade.com) that you've requested.<\/p>\n

5.\u00a0The server receives the IP address, acknowledges receiving it(your status bar may momentarily read \"website found\"), then places the request in a queue to wait until earlier requests(by you or others e.g. when many people are trying to go to yahoo.com) have been fulfilled by the server.<\/p>\n

6.\u00a0The server then sends the website's default page(index.htm for example) back over the Internet to your ISP, which then sends it to your computer.<\/p>\n

The process described in 1 to 6 above normally happens within seconds, even with a slow internet connection.<\/h3>\n

When you browse using a fast connection(e.g. broadband\/ satellite), the entire process can occur in an instant.<\/p>\n

However, sometimes when the ISP has a problem and\/or its resources are overloaded say due to many users online at the same time, prolonged access times can result.<\/p>\n

That's when at steps 5 to 6 you find yourself waiting for what seem like prolonged periods for the webpages you requested to appear.<\/p>\n

So, how does the above information help you?<\/h3>\n

Well, for one thing, you are now equipped to understand why this happens, when it does, so you should feel less frustrated, if at all.<\/p>\n

Secondly, this knowledge puts you in a position to communicate more intelligently with the administrator\/ support staff for your Internet connection about the problem.<\/p>\n

Thirdly, this useful knowledge puts you in a unique position to educate other internet users who experience similar problems.<\/p>\n

Share this with someone you know would benefit from it.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

http:\/<\/a><\/span>\/www.tayosolagbade.com<\/a><\/p>\n

Tayo K. Solagbade<\/a> is a Location Independent Performance Improvement<\/b><\/p>\n

Specialist and Multipreneur (i.e. a highly versatile\/multi-skilled entrepreneur), with a bias for delivering Best Practice solutions to Farm Businesses and others.<\/p>\n

Since 2002, he has earned multiple streams of income providing individuals and organizations with personal development training and coaching, custom MS Excel-VB solutions<\/a>, web marketing<\/a> systems\/web hosting<\/a>, freelance writing services, and best practice extension support services (for farm business owners<\/a>).<\/p>\n

Tayo is the author of the Self-Development (SD) Bible\u2122<\/a> and the popular Livestock Feed Formulation<\/a> Handbook. He is also the developer of its accompanying Excel-VB driven Ration Formulator\u2122<\/a> and the Poultry Farm <\/a>Manager\u2122 software.<\/p>\n

He has delivered talks\/papers to audiences in <\/a>various groups and organizations, including the Centre for Management Development, University of Lagos, Christ Baptist Church, Volunteer Corps, Tantalisers Fast Foods and others.<\/p>\n

In May 2012 he was the Guest Speaker at the Centre for Entrepreneurship Development\u2019s Annual Semester Entrepreneurial Lecture at Yaba College of Technology in Lagos.<\/p>\n

On 1st April 2013, Tayo (who reads, write and speaks the French language) relocated to Cotonou, Benin Republic<\/a> to begin slowly traveling across the West African region.<\/p>\n

His key purpose is to deliver talks, seminars <\/strong>and workshops on his key areas of focus and interest to interested audiences (Email tayo at tksola dot com for details).<\/p>\n

In a previous life, before leaving to become self-employed, Tayo served for seven years (October 1994 to December 2001) as a high performing manager in Guinness Nigeria. He rose from Shift Brewer to Training & Technical Development Manager, and later acted in senior roles as Production Manager and Technical Manager.<\/p>\n

In addition to constantly challenging the status quo and influencing positive work changes, he built a reputation for using self-taught spreadsheet programming skills (starting with Lotus 1-2-3, and later moving to Excel Visual Basic) - in his spare time - to develop Automated Spreadsheet Applications to computerize manual report generation processes in the departments he worked. Over four(4) of his applications were adopted for brewery level reporting.<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

Tayo holds a B.Sc degree in Agricultural Extension Services from the University of Ibadan, Nigeria, having graduated top of his class - with Second Class Upper Division honors - in 1992. He is an Associate Member of the UK Institute & Guild of Brewing, a 1997 National Finalist of the Nigerian Institute of Management\u2019s(NIM) Young Managers\u2019 competition, a Certified Psychometric Test Administrator for Psytech UK, innovator of Spontaneous Coaching for Self-Development\u2122 (SCfS-D\u2122), and Founder of the Self-Development Academy (SDAc)<\/a>.<\/p>\n

When he's not amazing clients with his superhuman skills (wink), Tayo works as the creative force behind his Daily Self-Development Nuggets blog<\/a> - on which he also publishes The Farm CEO Weekly Newspaper (sent via email to paid subscribers) and his Weekly Performance Improvement IDEAS<\/a> newsletter.<\/p>\n

\n[IMPORTANT NOTE:====<\/h3>\n

On 4th May 2014, Tayo's 9 year old domain (Spontaneousdevelopment dot com), which hosted his website, was taken over by Aplus.net.<\/em><\/p>\n

Within a few days however, Tayo used his advanced self-taught web development skills to build a SUPERIOR \"reincarnation\" of it the website http:\/\/www.tayosolagbade.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n

But updates are still ongoing to URLs bearing the old domain name in most of the over 1,000 web pages, and blog posts <\/strong><\/em>he's published.<\/p>\n

If you experience any difficulties finding a page or document, email Tayo at tksola dot com.<\/p>\n
