Slow Mac Mini Webserver
My website has a lousy speed when accessed from outside my network, but it is lightning fast when accessed on my private network behind the router. That makes me think that the router settings could be a problem.
Site was built in iWeb and is hosted on my Mac mini
I have this setup in this specific order:
- Comcast Cable modem
- Docsis 3
- Speedtest.net yields 10ms ping, 25M downlink and 4.5M uplink
- Cisco UMA200 VoIP single port router for my T-Mobile IP phone
- port 80 forwarding is turned on
- AirPort Extreme is hardwired to it and DHCP is used to assign IP to AirPort behind it
- Airport Extreme N-version
- Port 80 forwarding is turned on
- Using DHCP and each device has reserved IP based on its MAC address
- Mac Mini, SSD, 5GB RAM - hardwired into Airport Extreme
- Apple TV 2 = hardwired into Airport Extreme, reserved private IP
- iPod - Wifi into Airport Extreme - reserved private IP
- Macbook - Wifi into Airport Extreme - reserved private IP
- I use DynDNS as my domain provider for my dynamic IP
- I modified the httpd.conf file to point to my User/Sites folder where iWeb dupms the files - works great
Questions:
- Why is the speed of this site so fast behind the router and why is it so slow outside the router?

Pictures load slowly and sometimes they don't load all the way - Should I do manual private IP assignment as opposed to DHCP???
- Should I start using port 8080 as opposed to 80?
- Any suggestions or experience would be welcome! Thanks!
