Site is slooooow

[Foxbat]

Yeah the site was taking forever to load.

I wasn't able to get in at all. After last night when it seemed I was the only one impacted, this morning I was getting nervous…

Chinese bots?

Nope... so far looks like Honduras. Just blocked them from the Firewall.

 

[Scott Greczkowski]

Ok... mostly Honduras and Ecuador...

Search has been reenabled and index is rebuilding... but over halfway done.

I am going Grocery Shopping so will be away from the computer for a bit, but of course will have my phone and I am notified when things get slow here (Like what happened earlier) so I can login and try working on things.

This seems odd... guests: 11,542 online right now.

Have them all become Pub Members !

Hey! About 19:50 here in the Eastern TZ and our usually zippy site is like molasses in January. At least it seems that way here in Michiana…

It's because you are so far west in the time zone.

First off, it was a joke, and secondly, he's nearly 800 miles west of where I live! Yes, he is in the same time zone.

Understood. That's about when I have my #2 of my #1 for the night.

 

[HipKat]

It's back. The site is c r a w l i n g today

 

[comfortably_numb]

Really slow here in NM this morning

 

[Scott Greczkowski]

I am on the road but there was a security software add on update this morning. I pulled over and disabled it so hopefully things settle down in a bit.

I will check more when I can sit down and look further.

 

[Scott Greczkowski]

Ok I am stopped and tho by an appear to be good.

Server load down to 0.37 down from 45.9 when I stopped before.

 

[b4pjoe]

Seems good now. Could not even reach the site about 30-45 minutes ago.

 

[FTA4PA]

Yep, good!

 

[KE4EST]

Working great now.

 

[Scott Greczkowski]

Last night I worked on the server removed a number of add ins which were basically doing the same thing. This helped with speed and also adjusted the server caching.

Still trying to figure out why images are not caching to users computers. As that would speed things up even more as users would not have to download all images on each page load.

You can never have too much cash, er, cache.
