Is it me or is the server running a little slower than it used to? I'm getting some errors too once in awhile...Anyone else?

yeah, pages are loading slower and getting some page not found erros as well. was fine last night

I assumed it was just me. I'm tired, I didn't notice it was slow at both work and home.

It took aaaaaaages, so I googled for scienceforums.net and came in as a nonmember, and it worked fine.

 

(btw that was a little while ago, it worked fine now too)

Well, I just had a coffee and perked up a bit. Then so did the server o_O

It is slower. Even getting to this thread it was. Maybe it's all the new users?

I'm okay.

 

Maybe it's your ISPs?

seems like its better now

We'd have to find out if all the slow people have the same ISP. And the fast ones a seperate ISP.

I use Bell's DSL.

I use Comcrap, formerly known as Comcast. As you can tell, I hate them.

Boy, now it's REALLY slow!

It is running quite slow.

 

Time to do all the tedious little tasks that let you wring every spare drop of performance out of the database.

 

OPTIMIZE TABLE `BIGGEST_ONES`

Optimized. Still not faster. The speed is not at all related to our site, it's other sites on the server slowing things down for everyone.

How much does a dedicated box cost over there?

What other sites are there?

It's unlikely any customer on that server knows which other sites are on it, unless they themselves have multiple sites there. Or if they own the server ofc.

There are (approx) 450 other sites on the same server as scienceforums.net, the first three of which are: -

 

http://www.1275guaranteed.com

http://www.12weekstillaugust.net

http://www.167adayteam.com

 

Got that from http://www.whois.sc - you can do lookups by IP address though they'll only show you the first three results with free membership.

:coolio:

wow. 450 :/

 

one of those 450 sites has an admin who can't use MySQL for the life of him.

 

Our database really shouldn't hamper the server performance, at all

I didn't mean that it would.

 

I meant if the server is being slow, you should remove any overhead from the database so that the only avoidable delays are due to the server itself.

 

That's what I meant by "wringing out every spare drop".

BUMP!!!

 

 

Boy, now it's REALLY SLOW!!!!

At least tonight it is...
