Slow loading

[RobA]

Slowness issue definitely not fixed. frontpage continues to be really really slow - I haven't timed it but I've seen ~30s too. Forum in general is slow, but at least it's responsive, and I do not get timeouts.

I still think it's a db config issue, but that's just me guessing without any actual hard info.

The host is a VPS, and the database is shared... and we can't do much diagnostics. The price of a dedicated sql is quite high for the size we have

I've been adding some of the obvious indices to try and speed up the sql server...

EDIT - though I came in today the first time in a few days and was loading the front page in under 3 seconds....

Hi,
Just wondering if everybody else still has issues with site slowness?


And where did the "New Threads" box go?

How big is the SQL database?

MySQL and Postgres are free and scale quite well.

It's really bad again today... :-(
