Wilders SLOW!!!!!!!!!

Nothing to be sorry for, really - the board is still way slower than it was before the server-change.

I'm noticing, though, that it's a lot slower at some points than others - to wit:

Any click on "Wilders Security Forum" (at the upper left of this window - the "tree" ) or clicking the browsers "Back" button always take longer than a move from within a forum that you're already in (IOW, once a particular forum loads, you can move around within it pretty quickly.

I sincerely hope this "new server" stuff either gets corrected or we go back to the old one, because honestly, this stinks. Pete

 

It took 44.196 seconds to load this page.

I am now starting to wonder if Wilders is doing some special
IP scans as members come to the start page?

 

If that was supposed to be humor - it wasn't funny.

The server change-over (to this point, anyway) has been a complete disaster. Pete

 

Hang in there Paul you will get it sorted out. I do not mind the wait and I always copy my posts before I post them..you never know when they will end up in the wrong box or lost in transmission.

 

Noticed before in daytime the site is rather normal speed,
so i tried several days to be sure.
It took 16.303 seconds to load this page.
This was the main index, which normally takes around 22.000 or more certainly in the evening.
Soooooooooooooo who is taking all that bandwidth?
Is the hosting service giving preference somewhere else? Wrong configured programs like "wintasks" and the like for the server?

 

See the difference:
It took 71.917 seconds to load this page. (main index page)
It took 28.650 seconds to load this page. (this message page)
It took 27.975 seconds to load this page. (to get the reply page for this)

and the page is building up really ugly........

 

I aggree with Jookse

During the day 2:42 PM central USA today took DSL


It took 69.374 seconds to load this page. ( main page )

This page :It took 1.231 seconds to load this page.

 

It took 75.998 seconds to load this page. (main page)
Sunday morning 11:24 EST

It took 39.132 seconds to load this page.

 

Which I also got a minute ago - but now page loading time has dropped again.

It took 2.098 seconds to load this page.

I got wilders fast. With 56 k dialup It took 5.581 seconds to load this page. How I did it?
I used "System Mechanic" feature to tweak bandwidth speed:

Edit settings manually

MTU size: 1500
RWIN; Tcp receive window size: 6432
Time to Live; TTL: 256
Enable blackhole detection: yes
Enable Automatic MTU detection: yes

Other settings you have to experience how they should be. I used " relative speed test " feature for experiencing the speed, and I was amazed again ! and here is the log :

Well, today you seem very fast to me:

It took 0.355 seconds to load this page

Perhaps an incident, but I'm happy now

edit:
fast: the input screen
forum page a;so quick:
It took 2.347 seconds to load this page.

 

You wouldn't be planning on hiring someone to walk behind the server and give it a nudge every so often are you?

 

We're already doing that, but some relief of duty would be nice. I doze off sometimes.
Hey Mike, is that yours? The one next to it?
* Evil plan comes to mind

 

Getting better !
Average page load this evening was about 10 seconds.

At the bottom it says: It took 2.242 seconds to load this page. Also, I'm using Netscape 7.02 (latest version), and I changed my video display from 16-bit to 32-bit color, and everything appears really nice: I'm a happy camper now!

 

Yep things seem back to , if I could say , normal
See me dancing around my computer?
I think someone finialy paid the bill he he

Good job

 

It took 2.345 seconds to load this page.

That's what was just displayed: I'm back posting this experiment: IE 5.5 sp2, 33.6K modem -- soooo, Wilders does appear to be getting back to normal, which is great: no offense guys, but for awhile, I was avoiding this site because it was loading pages so slowly.

(previous post above was Netscape 7.02, DSL modem: different browser, connection speed).

 

Why is Wilders Security Forum slow? Answer! The YaBBSE code is trash.

Basically, the code is very very inefficient.

There is a new forum software soon to be released called ttForum based on YaBBSE's code but has been secured and optimized to the max.

Want more proof?

My web host decided to put a proxy server into auto-mode and told it to hit a YaBBSE board with 75 requests at the same time, server loads on the server hosting the YaBBSE board shot up to 4.00 and above. They did the same on a ttForum board and the server load didn't even rise above .25.

If that isn't enough info to convince you that YaBBSE has bad code, I don't know what else I can tell you.

 

Ya ya ya, how much do they pay you as a reseller and to spam around?
I don't need to know, leaving this to the Admins, as well as the technical parts. Could be the host, server, connection, anywhere along the line and all that is in study.
At times it's really fast, even with many people online, so there are more matters and causes, but as said, all under deep investigation.
In the meantime see if you can find anything suitable in the TOS. Thanks.

 

Yea yea yea, but you probably haven't looked at the code of YaBBSE either. All I can say, it is trash.

And no, I don't get paid. I am serious here. I don't get one red cent for these posts I have made. Swear to God I don't. Swear on my great-grandparent's graves I don't.
