Long load time for forums
« on: June 19, 2008, 07:44:05 PM »
I've noticed since there's been a bunch of posts going on all over the forums that it's taking a long time to load. Sometimes 4 or 5 minutes will pass and it will only get half way done. Is there a reason for this?? Perhaps it needs a clean up?

It's el cheapo webhost I think. Moth is in charge, it's his account with the host.

I'm not really having that problem. Maybe it's just your connection, Zodi?

Hmm it might be on your end because I can load this forum in about 15 seconds on my cellphone from australia.

Actually, the loading seems to be on and off. I would assume maintenance on the host is being done...

'cause, yeah, I get it from time to time.

Past few days it's been spotty.  Sometimes it loads fast, other times I wait until the server time out response comes up.

I remember a few years back on the old forums, we had to do a post clean up of some sort. This was because we were taking up too much space or something like that.

Maybe it's time to do a bit of a clean up and delete old threads.

Nah.  If there's anything the server we're using has, it's space.  I've uploaded DVDs to it without hassle.  (Getting them back, that's the tricky part.)  It is a lower-end host, by which I mean it isn't branded to host millions of people a day, and it's more than just my account on the same server.  We share a connection and server with several customers (as well as a few other sites of my own).  If another site gets a spike in traffic, we sometimes feel it.  They're also in the process of frequent upgrades, and so we get those now and then.

But, as forums go, we're incredibly small.  We use about 2 GB of bandwidth a month, and have yet to breach more than 20 people on at the same time.  I know there's smaller out there, but we're definitely on the lower end of those that are actually active.  I can't really picture upgrading when we're already doing better than most.  (Ad free LotN, baby!)
