Website Slow

[CrabClaw]

Website crazy slow right now. Was not even loading a few minutes ago.

Yup, sorry about that. Monday and alert day. Just rebooted the servers.

By the end of the week we will be upgrading to new, faster, (expensive) servers. If that doesn't help I don't know what to do.

Ouch! But hopefully it means more revenue!

That last upgrade hasn't been kind to me, aside from the slower forum, I'm still having difficulties embedding pictures within the text window, using FireFox. I'm wondering if anyone else is having the same issue as me using Firefox.

That may have been the forum software update. This would be a hardware change.

I use Firefox and besides the site being slow, everything loads.

Thanks, I haven't taken the time to investigate what is going on, is the picture uploader/embedder using JAVA?

Website slow again for me today, not as bad as yesterday though. Also the premium page has some issues, small text, information out of whack.

I'm not sure, but I could ask. Are you using attachments or images from a URL?

Sound like attachments. You probably know more about this than I do, but have you tried using Photobucket to upload images, then "Insert Image /from URL"?

That's what I do and I haven't had any problems, but I use Chrome and IE mostly.

Thanks for keeping me posted. We haven't hit peak time yet so it could get worse.

We have not yet converted to the new servers. There's a copy of the site out there in test mode and I can look around, but it doesn't have any users to test how it does under higher traffic. Hopefully some time this week although it may be safer to do it over the weekend.

Just regular attachments, I don't use photobucket because my network doesn't permit its use. It does work, just takes a long time before it works and lots of clicks. Sometimes the uploader freezes the entire FF and doesn't do anything for a solid minute. It sure reminds me of a Java issue probably on my end, I'll try some other PCs in the house.

I haven't had nearly as many picture posting issues today as I have in the past, problem is i haven't done anything different.

And we haven't upgraded yet but the new servers are about ready to go. I've been looking for issues on the test site. I can do anything except run a stress test, which is what we really need. It should be in place my Monday morning, if not sooner.

Sounds good, NEW Servers, ZOOOOOOOOMMMM>>>>. I can't wait.

 

[nnuut]

Although we have problems the site is fast since the upgrade, I like it!

You been with it a long time so I'll take your word for it.:cheesy:

 

[nnuut]

Try it just before the noon deadline, much better than before.

 

[tsptalk]

Any problems with the forum this morning? We had a fairly high traffic load but I forgot to monitor the performance. Thanks.

 

[nnuut]

Looks good to me Senior!!

i've noticed ever since the server upgrade, the website hasn't been slow in the mornings when we've had the most traffic, good job whatever you guys did!
