Forum performance

Post by Egregius »

Lately the forum performance is very poor.
Before the performance was only poor during the evening (CET) but now it's all day long very slow responses. Each pageload takes more than 5 seconds.
Can something be done about that? Maybe move to a better server?

It resolves to an IP in the Netherlands, which is about as slow as it get's to access from countries such as Australia / NZ due to the latency.

Pinging domoticz.com [185.27.142.198] with 32 bytes of data:

Would be nice if it was in Eg Singapore or somewhere more central, should be possible to get < 100ms to nearly all parts of the world.

My connection is among the best in Aus as well (fibre to the building and Ethernet to my router), most probably would be seeing > 400ms

I've gotten used to it taking about 5 seconds every time I click something, just saying.. :)

It's not just slow from outside NL. Seems to happen every now and then and usually gets fixed by @gizmocuz.

Ping isn't the problem. I get 6.5ms and the experience is still like being knee deep in mud. I'd say it's probably an issue with talking to the (MySQL?) back-end or a log file being ridiculously large.

Or a overselled server. That's the problem with shared hosting. I'm never going back to shared hosting, since I hire a VPS my sites never have these issues anymore. Before had the same problems at 3 shared hosting providers.

Weird, after the previous posts the performance went to acceptable. Now lately it's back slow, slower, slowest...

I use a VPS to host my clients websites on, and it's blisteringly fast (compared to shared hosting from the same company). I'd happily offer to host the forum on my VPS for £10 a month (it would probably need to be on a subdomain rather than a directory, like forum.domoticz.com).

Something else that could be worth a try, is to let CloudFlare handle the DNS. You can have a free account, and get benefits from distributed DNS cache for people in different countries.
