Is the site any faster?

Recommended Posts

I  spent about an hour 3 or 4 weeks ago deleting old attachments one page at a time. It made very little difference. Within a few weeks we were right back where we started. Long story short we need we an upgrade. We were on an older plan so there are some major advantages to the upgrade. We went from 3.5g ram to 6g of ram. We also went from a HDD to a SSD hard drive with 50% more space. These upgrades should make a big difference in performance.

Is it faster for you?

In all honesty, John, just logging in here I now, I don't notice anything different? Imo, it has been running great for a long stretch now so no complaints here.

If @dz246 deleted his 3Gb of gay porn that would probably help a lot! :dz:

I am having sometimes a 5-7 second waiting to load coming from another site. Once here I can bounce around pretty quick, but initially get a lag.

 

I've had the same thing happen from time to time. I have no idea why. I am going to try putting the archived posts back in circulation for search. With the faster server it should be able to handle the extra load.

THe " not secure" before the web address isnt red anymore, does that mean anything?

I don't spend the extra $50 a year for an SSL certificate. Years ago you only got one for eCommerce, now just about all sites have one.

The archived topics and posts have been re-indexing for the past few hours. It looks like it will be a while before they are all done, lol.  You should have a better search experience by tomorrow @Snake  :bc:

I also set it for thread titles to have 50% more important than posts. It was set to 10%. Let me know if you notice any differences :thumb:

Still indexing the posts. We have around 25% of the archived post's back. At this pace it is going to take another day and a half.

I just did some repairs to the database. Let me know if it helped at all :bc:

Site is acting a little slow for me right now? When I click on a thread, it takes longer than normal to open up.

Could be all the new members/traffic but maybe it's something else that needs looking into, CKF?

Server load is very low now that we have upgraded servers. I have not noticed it myself. Anyone else?

If we just delete Zammy's posts I suspect that will speed things up by eleventy million percent. :news:
