since upgraded to V3, it seems to take forever to load any pages. this seems to happen on websites that's hosted on an internal server without internet access. i don't know if this is the case but i guess it's trying to access some external site and is waiting for timeout.

the fix

edit conf/_basic_config.php. add this line:

the website now loads instantly.

(exactly 1 year after this post! lol!)

just trying out V403 and experienced the same problem.

b2evo developer, please make this part of installation config to allow user to turn it off. not everyone develop on server that has internet connection and it's frustrating to wait for the page to load (just because you want to spy who's using your software?)
