View Full Version : Erratic loading times

At seemingly random intervals, EoFF just starts to go extremely slow for me. It happens now and then, often after I've been at the board for a few minutes. I normally browse using the 'archive' feature, but even that get affected.
The problem's not with my internet connection; other sites are unaffected.

It's been doing it to me too. Since I'm on dial up it's pretty bad, a lot of pages time out while I'm waiting.
Yeah, happens to me too. I just restarted the http server and things are blazing fast again.

Yes, it is working quite fine since this evening.

You mean you caught it to?
Our traffic is up about 200%, so that could be it >_<

Better put a (tighter) speed cap on the downloads :p

Site was down for me for a few minutes, but now it works. Still having the slowdown as well. :(

Everything is slow for me, but yeah, oftentimes it gets as slow as a old man's gangster flow. And times out.

If you can tell me how, I'd love to hear.

Apparently mod_bwlimited is loaded in Apache already, which is what you'd need to do this - I can't find any documentation on how to configure it though. Maybe Unne could help here :p
Well, thing is that I'm on a unmetered 20mbps server, and we've only used a max of 11mbps or so... so really html/mysql should really be loading no problem.

It's been okay for me until today, when I couldn't access the forums (but still the main page, weird).

The server speed itself is probably the limiting factor...running a busy forum takes a lot of juice, and vBulletin is known to use a lot of resources.

Same here, although when I went back from the site, everything worked fine, so I can't say exactly what changed it. If anyone wants to report any dead times, please ensure that you let us know if the frontsite is loading or not as well as the forums. :)
I've only had this problem on one day so far, a few days ago now.

Lightning fast for me again, I was wondering what was going on xD
I know for a fact that the server went down for 4 minutes earlier. If this continues, I'm going to contact my host.

Yes, there were a few minutes today that nothing was opening up, other than that it's just mostly been slow.

Ditto on the forums not opening at around 2am, but the mainpage still loading fine. I can never tell if the speed has to do with the site or with me though, since I share a network with the rest of the apartment complex.

Just got a message saying Server too busy, its 10:46 GMT, just so you know :D
Yeah, sorry. I turned on something in the vbulletin to have a max on the load. But I turned it off now.

I just had a connection refused error, and then I had a "Problem with the database" error. About three minutes ago.
So far as mod_bwlimited, who knows. I don't know anything about admining extremely high-traffic sites. I have experienced random forum-slowness though.
Alright, well, here is what my host said:
<I>Summary: At approximately 0115 hours CST your server lost power due a defective powerstrip. The defective strip was identified, replaced, and power was restored to the affected location. The Planet Infrastructure staff then immeadiately attended to your machine and ensured that it was back online and accessible. The total downtime was very minimal, and did not exceed the acceptable limits of your SLA.
Future Mitigation: Our facility engineers have inspected the PDU and everything is in order. The Planet will continue to monitor the PDU for any potential problems. If future work is required that could cause downtime, we will make every effort to notify all customers at least 72 hours before the work is performed.
We appreciate your patience in the matter, and if you have any further questions regarding this incident, please feel free to open a support ticket.
Resolution:
Please do not reply to this email. If you have additional information, please update the ticket using the link to the support system provided.

Thank you,

The server is too busy at the moment. Please try again later.

I couldn't get on at about 4:45 p.m. today.
EDIT: And as I was trying to post this, it gave me a <i>Server is too busy.</i> message.
EDIT2: It was 5:45 not 4:45.
Sorry, I thought I turned that "feature" off but apparently I left it on. Off now.
Sounds like shyster-talk to me.
Well, I would have thought so too but there has been no downtime since...

Even a 99.99% uptime guarantee allows for 18 minutes of downtime per month.
