Is it me or is my site horribly slow?
-
Not sure if it's my Wordpress section only, or my site in general, but I seem to experience extremely slow loading times. Several seconds for each page. And I'm on a wired fast broadband connection. The rest of the 'net doesn't appear so slow.
My site isn't that much used any more. But my most important section is the Vertex Tools sub-site. If that section is slow then I'm really concerned!
I can't quite pin it down, but it seem to vary from time to time. But the wordpress section appear worse of them all. I wonder if it might be the MySQL connections that's the bottleneck. Anyone had any experience with Wordpress and performance?
Anyone else find that my site loads slow? (several seconds for each page)
-
The all seem quite fast enough to me ?
As fast as this forum I'd say - but unverified personal perception only
The Wordpress one was the slowest... but only marginally so...EDIT: As soon as I posted I retested them all... and of course two were then a few seconds in loading [but not the VertexTools link]
-
The Vertex Tools section is using fewer database connections I believe. I think that might be where I should start to investigate.
When I try to navigate between the various posts on my wordpress section it takes somewhere between 6 - 25 seconds
to before anything appear to load. The wordpress index page appear to load fast-ish though... -
Yes, the loading does seem moderately slow, the images in particular.
Are you hosting this yourself? -
Everything I looked at loaded lightning fast.

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.
