My Site Video upload speed is slower than other site?

I have uploaded a same file to two different sites it had 30% time difference what are all the major factors affecting this? and what should i do to increase my sites upload speed?

Solution

  • If the sites reside on two different servers, the following factors may weigh in:

    • Old server - Old hardware=slower
    • High server load - More load=slower server.
    • Load balancing (more than one server) - More servers=faster response.
    • Available bandwidth - Low bandwidth=slower download. This could be normal or you might have routers that are underperforming.
    • Number of routers between the server and the Internet - Each hop takes time.
    • Distance between server and your browser - Longer=slower (more jumps between servers).
    • Internet load - If the servers in between you and the server are under load, it's getting slower.
    • High load on your ISP's network - More traffic=slower download

    Make sure to host your sites with a reliable hosting service.
