Camride, I am hoping you caught us at the moment we were switching the DB server over. How about now?

 

It's been quick since that one incident. Hopefully that was just a fluke as everything was coming back up.

 

thanks, man. Appreciate the report. Truly hope this is the fix of fixes.

 

I hate to even report it, but I just came on to see if the site was faster, and immediately had a ~25 second load time.

Same issue as before... once the site comes up, it loads almost instantly. But when I click a link, it just sits there waiting. I can click and click and it won't go. Then after the 20~30 second wait, page loads quick.

It happens most often when I haven't visited the site in a while, although it's not limited to that. Makes me think it might be the DNS servers, however sometimes if I'm in the middle of browsing, I'll click a link, and it'll randomly hang for a while.

 

We've just made another configuration change based on your report.

Thanks, Kyle!

 

It still took me 3 times to load the board, waiting til it timed out to hit F5 to refresh.

 

Sorry to say Robb, but the issue is still present for me. The biggest issue seems to be the initial connection. Once I finally get a response from the site I can sit and refresh all day and get sub 4 second refreshes. But the initial one almost always takes 30+ seconds.

 

Thanks guys. In a way, this is good news. Now we can move to a more radical change much quicker.

 

This morning things were fine. Now a little after 5:00pm everything is loading slow.

 

It's been running faster all day for me, on Saturday.

 

I just had a 28 second wait time to load the initial page.

 

Slow again, but it was ok earlier today.

 

Any idea on a timeline for this radical change? 35 second load time this morning.

 

Well.... it was nice while it lasted (less than 2 days) but 53 seconds to load "General 1967-2002 F-Body Tech" this morning, and similar experiences startoing a bit after noon (EDT) on Monday. Hang-ups, blank screens, sloooww-w-w-w-w-w-w-w--w-w.

Ughhhhh.

 

32 seconds to load the Lounge this morning.

The behavior I'm seeing smells VERY strongly of a database table lacking an important index. Have you guys profiled the database and/or involved a good DBA?
