robinjessome Posted March 6, 2010 Share Posted March 6, 2010 How has the speed of the forum been in general lately? How about the process of signing on? Site speed: 7/10 ...not great, but tolerable. Signing on: N/A ...I never sign out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SYS65 Posted March 6, 2010 Share Posted March 6, 2010 the past two days was getting slow, today looks fine, I've made 4 posts today, 3 were fine, 1 a bit slow, but not like yesterday, all pages show quickly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chopin Posted March 6, 2010 Author Share Posted March 6, 2010 I think the problem is the homepage, I've done a few tests. The CPU load increases from 1% to nearly 30% when I load the homepage of YC (the network's home). When one person loads the homepage it slows down the entire server by a lot, so imagine if multiple people are trying to load it at the same time. This affects the forum speed during that time and could very well be the reason why activity is down on this site. So when the site is slow, you can be sure that many people are trying to load the homepage. I will try to resolve this by next week. My resolution would be the introduction of the improved faster network, and an upgrade to the server. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
impresario Posted March 6, 2010 Share Posted March 6, 2010 Absolutely - the home page is the problem. On a scale from one to ten, the forum is a nine (not a bad number, I have no problems with the speed) the logging in is an 8 (again completely fast enough) but getting to the home page to log in is about a 2. Great to see you have a plan and possible solution already! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James H. Posted March 7, 2010 Share Posted March 7, 2010 About the moment you posted this thread chopin, (coincidentally) I couldn't log in at all. The homepage wouldn't load at all and it timed out. Thought maybe it was my wireless connection, since I don't use it often, but no... everything else was fine. I'd still give the homepage a 'fail' rating, it's SLOW. Forum index is fine as always.

Daniel Posted March 7, 2010 Share Posted March 7, 2010 Site speed horrendous today. Also database errors and the like. Edit: took about 30 seconds for this to post. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SYS65 Posted March 7, 2010 Share Posted March 7, 2010 Yes, today is really bad, I have to refresh 3 times to load a page, and I'm in the forum only, the network, don't even try. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
