Website / Forum Speed

Postby Yama » Mon Oct 04, 2010 12:19 pm

Just a heads up, I'll be working on improving the speed of the website / forum today.

The old sites structure was fairly disorganized and there is a ton of unused or duplicated information adding stress to the server. It's actually pretty crazy just how much unused information was within the first version.

I'll be backing everything up and sorting through it all today, hopefully deleting a good portion of it. Through out this the site will remain active, so no worries about downtime.

I'll let everyone know when completed and hopefully there is a noticeable difference.

Good to hear Riku, though I experience some pretty bad errors and stall times. The site could be better optimized for web, I admit this. However once loaded it's seemingly fine, so I'd rather not re-optimize every image. What I am finding actual problems with however is the database, it's just too huge. Hopefully Dojo on a diet will put much less stress on the server.

Thanks! Life has been kind of wicked, but it's heading back to normality. Don't worry, I didn't loose interest in the site. Haha.

It's my fault. I'm just too fat for the servers.
Yeah when i went out of the house this morning to the store they tore down the wall and forklifted me in and out.

I'm typing with a back scratcher since one finger cover the whole keyboard.
:sad:

No speed issues here, I just switched of the sigs in the user control panel. The only topic that takes a while to load is "People you would eff". It's the price I pay for loving minge.

I haven't really ever had a problem with it, but I was on dial up until just two months ago, so everything took about a day to load anyways.

Good to hear, guess it'll only be better when complete then. Still backing up the old databases and files, too much stuff but wouldn't ever want to lose any of the original information.

Edit: Oh and real quick, what browser is everyone using?

Firefox 3.6 was ungodly slow so I switched.

No troubles with auto log in for me.
Chrome is great for speed and many features. Not as many extensions as FF and themes are limited and bland. UI takes some getting used to for many people but overall it's fantastic for simple sleek practical and fast browsing.
Chrome keeps gaining markethsare like FF used to years ago so it's the newer shinier more fun toy these days FF once had the spotlight in.
It's great on any OS,Apple,Windows,Linux.

Did you also upgrade from witchcraft to modern medicine, horses to cars, and Egyptian slaves to Mexicans?
