Pakistan government slow websites

It is annoying . I am writing a paper about E-government and I thought I might be able to get some information about ‘‘Pakistan government’’ and will be able to integrate into my paper . But they have one crappy web server . Nothing is opening up for me . Or may be they shut them down when the go home after 2 PM .

Guys if you can kindly try these websites and let me know if they are working for you or same as mine .

Much appreciate . :jhanda:

Pakistan.Gov.Pk - The Official Web Gateway to the Government of Pakistan
EGD - Electronic Government Directorate

and the related links.

first two, server responded, open initial dialogue and crapped out in CONTACTING HOST mode... last one, (home) no response..

Re: Pakistan government slow websites

For me 1st and 3rd one as kindaaaaaaaaaa working (loads in like a year or so) . But 2nd one is not responding at all , except title of the page . So after all I don't think so its my Internet connection .

Out of the three, the first one worked fine (just kinda slow), but a random selection of links seemed to work too. The second one didn’t load at all, while the third one was excruciatingly slow, but eventually did load.

So yeah, seems like a problem with the websites. Hopefully, it’s faster for the citizens of Pakistan :slight_smile:

Namaan, in case you’re interested, here are a couple of academic references on e-Govt in Pakistan… I did a lit survey a couple of years back.
