Title: Site Slowness Work
Post by: Tyler on October 15, 2012, 01:25:53 PM: Hey guys, thanks for letting me know about the slowness. In response, I have done the following:

Upgraded the server to a more powerful server

Optimized the forum code

Optimized the database

Switched ad servers

Removed old add-on features that weren't used anymore

From my side it appears to responding much faster. I've tested on multiple computers, browsers, tablets and phones. I do think Tapatalk is causing some slowness, but because so many people use it I'm going to keep it running.

Please let me know if you notice anything else.

Our mail servers at work are running slow this week.

Sbg is still slow here at 4AM.
Sounds like you are trying the right things to fix the issue.

Post by: bennett11 on October 16, 2012, 05:37:32 AM: 6:30 AM tuesday Texas time. It is still running slowly but I think it is faster than several days ago. I noticed you disabled the preview feature - still running slow after that. I am using latest safari and the latest Mac OS.

Post by: Tyler on October 17, 2012, 10:58:46 AM: Thanks guys. It turns out it was a problem on my host's side and they finally resolved the issue. Though, with all the optimization that I've done, it's now running faster than I can remember.

For those of you on Tapatalk, are you still experiencing slowness? I'm in a bad spot in regards to wireless internet, so I can't get a good gauge.
