Why is the forum so slow?

[reuben.ahmed]

This stops me from reading posts and wanting to make new threads/replies, it's like 5x as slow as other sites. Please look into another hosting provider if that's the issue?

We are aware of the issues and working hard to find a solution. Trust us, we have having the performance issues too.

Hi, thanks.
We are aware of the issue and we are looking into resolving it, sadly this is not a simple issue as we have been battling it for a while, we have some paths forward which should help us but its not an overnight job, please bear with us.

Thanks! This is a great place with great mods and users, so I hope we can get it up to speed.

We've just (as in a couple hours ago) moved to a new host. Once everything settles down (and the site search index rebuilds), let us know how it works for you. We still have architecture updates and migrations we are working on, but this was our first step (in this go-round).

Still working out a few kinks with the new hosting arrangement. Please bare with us :X

Not checked others, but it's barely usable - had a couple of timeouts.

Why you always testing stuff right in the middle of me fixing things ?!

[Paradigm Shifter]

I'm not trying to sound like an arse, but why do the fixes usually make stuff worse?

Page execution time was 72834.51 ms. Executed 1608 queries in 31364.99 milliseconds.
Page execution time was 70833.03 ms. Executed 1789 queries in 32362.63 milliseconds.
Page execution time was 73449.9 ms. Executed 1650 queries in 30984.66 milliseconds.

I really have no idea why this didn't Time Out - it usually has when pages take this long. This is happening on every single page.

It's better today. :) I'm getting numbers like Haldi.

[CrackerJackMack]

Yay! Improvement! :party: I know the numbers still aren't the best in comparison to other sites but hopefully with some upcoming changes every page will be within 1-2s.

Today seems well snappy, I just hit reply and it was almost instant :o

[Paradigm Shifter]

:D

[Paradigm Shifter]

It's still not instant or snappy, but it's better than 30+ seconds. :)
