      Upper and lower case please, and learn to use paragraphs.  Reading a single block of text is a pain (and if you hadn't noticed, nobody else is responding to your posts).

      My advice, given twice, is to leave it running overnight and see if you're still seeing the problem in the morning, when it's normally acceptable.  Keep in mind that your download speed (bandwidth) and responsiveness (latency) aren't connected.

      If it is, then the problem is with your ISP.

        As u Said I did it. i mean I let it to run over night also. But the result is no good. Still it taking time to load any web page. Its don't take too long. But its taking longer than normal.

        For example Though its taking time to load pages but when its load the page(you tube, movie site, online music) its ok with the video and other streaming. cause there is no stopping. its rum smoothly.it seems to me it just taking time to load the pages.

        my question is how can i find out whats the problem. If there is something need to configure then i will do it. Plz brother try to help me. I will wait for the answer…..

          So, you reboot the pfSense host and immediately things improve?

            Run through the traffic shaping wizard again….when you get to around the 5th or 6th page....which is named "Raise or lower other Applications"...stop there...scroll down the page...and give higher priority to the following:
            StreamingMP3
            RTSP
            Web HTTP
            and DNS

            Complete and apply the wizard.

              For Mr. Cry Havok . now no. but before when i did restart my PFsense after i saw it works pretty well. but now nothing. all the time same. even i select lower download and upload speed on traffic shaping for latency.
              But still same.

              For Sir. yes i did it before and now also. but nothing to seems going well. Even 2 days before i couldn't run TCP Analyzer from speed guide. but now i can though. but other things r not going well. i will wait for u sir. take care

                Things to check include:

                1. States - are you running out (see this thread)

                2. Processor load - what's your load?

                I'd also suggest you search for "pfsense slow" and review the threads to see if you're suffering from a common problem.

                    It doesn't sound like your pfSense host is the problem.  I'd suspect that the problem is with the ISP.

                      Yes You are right Mr. Cry Havok. i got the solution. And the Problem was with My Modem. It couldn't handling higher MTU Value. Now i fix it.

                      And my web pages loading much faster then before. all are now going perfectly.

                      One thing I learned never Doubt on PFSense Box. Its really awesome.

                      Many many thnx for Pfsense Forum member those who continue supporting people. and Of course For PFSense. Its really such a stable and reliable project.

                      Thank you all…..
