Speed Issues

[Darkfire001]

Hmm, Past few days I've been getting some real issues with the speed of the namepros server. It used to be BANG,BANG,BANG pages zipped up and even until last month things were relatively fast. But past few days, things have slowed down significantly where I can barely browse NP without wincing.

I'm not sure if this is a connection problem or the server just has trouble dealing with such a large forum.

Okay, things are pretty zippy right now, but later in the day around afternoon time things get S..L..O..W

And fast servers are key for NP growth I really think we are going to pass up some sites like DNF in the near future.

MUCH better right now (Noon EST here) ... thanks for the comment about the afternoons and speed times, this information is VERY helpul! :talk:
Darkfire, which time zone are you in ... and has it seemed slow/slower both of the last two days during your afternoon times? :gl:
Thanks muchly!

Well, that just points out how much explorer sucks, doesn't it? :lol:

Yep, today (1-14-05) is the slowest I've experienced and I have been with NP for about one month.

Hope it's not the software vB, as I'm thinking of getting it. Otherwise, I would go with the free SMF, which seems very, very fast.

Hmmm ... hang tight, friends! :gl:
We're exploring EVERY option now to get us back on to Namepros Broadband™ (for those of you that aren't currently enjoying it)!

More to come ...
Thanks!

Speed is decent right now. But noticing that overall forum speed is pretty slow on my broadband connection here & elsewhere. Page speeds seem a bit 'laggy" as of late. Is this due to high usage or another issue?

I use firefox and its still kinda slow...

 

[jstep]

Check the processor load? might want to consider using a seperate server for mysql?
