Is it me or is my site horribly slow?
-
Everything I looked at loaded lightning fast.

Yes, the loading does seem moderately slow, the images in particular.
Are you hosting this yourself?No - I'm Failover Cluster Hosting at HostingZoom. Been good so far... but lately I've been getting the feeling performance is erratic.
-
Seems fine to me. I went through all the recent posts in the wordpress section and they all loaded pretty much instantly.
-
I ask about hosting because I recently had issues with my hosting provider. After a support ticket, I find they were migrating servers and other behind-the-scenes stuff which affected my website. It may be useful to contact support and see if there is anything at issue with the hosting server.
-
There are a couple of caching plugins that will make your site load faster. Especially if you do not have much new content (i.e. not using it for blogging but mainly for static content). Have you tried any of those?
-
those pages seems to load normal on my browser.
perhaps it was just some maintenance issue on your ISP? -
Have you tried running any ping test to get sates? http://www.livinginternet.com/i/ia_tools_ping.htm There are also sites that will do free test. You may have to run at different times etc. to get a good base line.
-
So I seem to be more or less alone in experiencing long loading times for the wordpress articles?
-
When I looked at the control panel and tried to access database related tools they seemed to be slow as well. So did downloading the databases - which I do regularly as backups. It took many seconds before I got any response.
-
Speaking of Vertex Tools, once upon a time you indicated you were going to add a gizmo to it. Any chance that's going to happen?
-
Fine for me too!
Happy new year Thom

Yea - currently it seem to be ok for the most of it. The troublesome part is that it appear to be intermittent.
Making it so much harder to report the issue to my host. -

Yea
I had earlier this year thought I would have gotten the update out the door and be well into Bezier Surface by now. But personal and professional life put an unexpected turn and I've found very little time for anything.
Now at the turn of the year I hope to get on it. Been troubling me all along.The Gizmo will be an important feature in Vertex Tools and Bezier Surface. I might be making a standalone version for general purpose as well (in its own time).

Ping test of your site showed an average of ~53ms. For example this site shows 145 ms but probably can just be indicating the number of hops. Suprised either of you allow that to happen
You can also go to the control panel, admin tools, performance and you can check the TCP object and plot various items. I would look at retransmits and that would indicate if something in your loop is casuing data errors. -
I'm trying to track down a much more severe lag - as I mentioned up to half a minute. From what it appear to me, I make a request to a resource, and it will sitt there with no apparent response for up to 30 seconds before it seem to start receiving. Once it start to receive it appear to work rather quickly. That is why I am suspecting it's might be something like the database which takes a long time to complete it's task. At least something on the sever in terms of preparing the content to be served to the client.

Well, as it is with shared hosting, there could be any number of sources for any issue. I've been monitoring the site and trying to put down some notes. Will try to make a test script that times the various execution time for different functions. Need some kind of pointer to give the support monkeys.

That's really good news
-
Yes I understand that ,but at the same time others are OK. How does your postulated failure fit their results? Don't get stove piped and fool yourself. I would guess you host should have some test they can run or comment on TS approach and maybe correlate with any recent changes?? They can even run SNR test and make sure levels are ok. If you have ever had the chance to scope a high data rate line it is not what you think of as nice square waves. It is more sinusoidal with jitter at the zero crossing etc, so the sample clock must be such that you are not trying to work in the linear region. ON top of that teflon under goes a state change at room temp and can cause timing errors unless they are properly match for phase delay and lot control. The point is a lots of things can go on to affect a high rate system. Have you made any recent changes?
Don't think this is the problem but a lots of ACK-Nacks can cause that can it not? If the folks who downloaded and found no problem go thru the same sequence as you what does that tell you? Either they are lucky or there is some difference. For a while I was getting SQL errors on this site just because of two many users.
Good Luck -

If you have not done so already I would strongly recommend you talk to the tech support. They may already have an idea because most will get some performance metrics or the can suggest TS steps??

I've been in contact with them before about erratic MySQL error messages, which seemed to indicate too many connections, the general jest of the answer was that it was shared hosting and it might occur from time to time. They where not able to track down a particular cause unless they could experience it while they did they checked.
So this time around I'm bringing more ammo to the party.
