Site slow

Hi Rosco,

Im in Qld too not having any probs (forum page loads in 4 seconds)
Some pages seem to slow down when over 500 users are logged on to the site at once. I think thats when many people are accessing the same pages at once - cause Ive been working on the site elsewhere tonight and most pages load fast. Best to e-mail David Directly let him know what you notice so he can monitor the server when this is happening. We just need to know what is slow loading and when.

Thanks

Kerry

Dunno but my experience is the same as yours, on cable here. The site always pings reasonably fast so the routing is ok but the loading of pages is very erratic. Maybe the server is overloaded at times. It's the same story at work also. Ijust live with it.

this is more to do with the new coding and IE problems....useing mozillia the site loads up reall quick but under IE it can take more than 15 secs to load.

Download and install Firefox browser. A lot faster than IE.

Last night I was working on the site and running several large reindex processes on the entire forum database. This did have a large database peformance drag. This morning being Friday is the time that the Topic Search counts are updated and this also hits the system very hard - I may change these to Sunday when the system is not as busy.

On a general front (and after much consultation with the ISP) I am at the moment re-writting the entire site onto a new platform and new server. I monitor the system all day and all night so I am usually aware of performance issues, rest assured it is being monitored and significant development effort invested to ensure future growth is catered for.

Hey Nudenut, Hasn't mummy told you to keep out of the fridge???
