Site Slowness Work
« 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.


People are not limited by the circumstance that they are born in. They are limited by the size of their dreams. Show them that their dreams can have no limits and in turn their accomplishments can be limitless.

I dont pretend to understand why  but  quite a few  US  sites  are experiencing the  same problem . The other one I use  extensively  on the west coast  is a bit slow today also

Thanks Tyler!
Life has three aspects: Paradox, Humor, and Change.

Paradox: Life is a mystery; don't waste time figuring it out.
Humor: Keep a sense of humor, especially about yourself. It is a strength beyond all measure
Change: Know that nothing stays the same.

Good any data wasn't lost :)

I don't envy your job. It is like building an airplane while flying it!

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.

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.

It is a lot better than it was. The PM function still seems to be a bit slow.

In the last few minutes since Tyler came on it is faster.  Way to go Tyler.  Think you might have fixed it this time.
