It seems that the tabs that I have the Live Forum, Live Knowledgebase and Live Exchange on (all on separate tabs) takes longer to initially load then the Live Form tab. It also seems that they go to sleep also pretty fast so the extra load time in needed again each time. If you click a tab with one of the first three modules it may take as much as 7 seconds to load. If you click off of it and then back it responds almost immediately. In My Humble Opinion it seems that there is a totally different license method and it seems that the first three keep looking to see if it is a trial that has expired by going back to a ManDeeps license server. Is there any way to keep these tabs active without writing a ping service to hit these tabs every 5 min?
using a KeepAlive.aspx helps a lot so far
Bill, We apologize for totally missing this thread. There are no different licensing methods within our modules and none of our products slow down in performance in trying to reach mandeeps license server. As a matter of fact, there is no dependency on mandeeps license server. The server could be down or non-existent and the module would continue to run fine.
Now let's address why the modules load slow on the 1st page load. There are two reasons:

Does anyone have an answer to this question? It seems that it happens to your own site the first time in the morning for me.
I experience the same issues and get lots of complaints for the site loading slow discouraging use. Like you said the initial load of the forum is slow but after that first time opening the page with the module it loads fast. With the speed everyone expects from websites these days it would be nice to see a performance improvment for initial loads of pages. It would be nice to see it at least load the page theme then hand a spinner to show the module is loading. This would be great for all modules since the future of the world wide web is going to work like this. HTTP/2 would be what to follow to future proof the design of modules for speed and performance and cutting down on load times/network demands.
We are having the same issue. We are currently looking at 13 seconds for Forums to load (this is with my newest customer who only has one post and a handful of replies.) Is there a way to load some of the module as suggested and continuing loading in the background?
Maybe need to post it as an idea?
