GBAtemp is...

[Costello]

GBAtemp changes servers almost every year because it keeps getting larger and larger!
We usually know it's time to change servers when the site becomes really slow on a regular basis.

If/when the server is slow, or unusually fast, please make a post here and mention how many users are online.
This will be a great help for us when we re-evaluate the needs & resources.

Thanks!

Goes faster than yesterday

I made some suggestions above too, but they're probably useless

on ie7 its sometimes very slow sometimes slow and sometimes very fast... but since the n00b flood it is slower then normal(pag. take 1 sec to load normal)

and do you mean me? with seph........?

edit:but now on this moment its fastter then normal!

 

[Bladexdsl]

fast...for now

Spoiler

until KH gets here

Did an admin just break his own site's rules? haha

Seph...

i see.

well much more faster than ever, now need to wait for the evening, usually things bog down by then.

 

[Costello]

I optimized the server a bit more... hopefully runs even faster!

Oh my God, it runs so much faster. Thank you.

Running lightning fast for me Costy! Get the odd hang after posting a new message but it's fine once I close the tab and reopen the site.

 

[syko5150]

yeah i've been on periodically throughout the day even during really busy hours and it still seemed to run pretty fast for me...Keep up the good work =)

 

[Bladexdsl]

now it's sluggish takes up to 7-15 secs to load or post/edit anything

took 8 secs to post this

it's weird though sometimes it will load stuff right away next time it (see above)

Sometime it's very fast (as fast as when it was based in France in 2008), and sometime just a little slower but it might be my internet connection, it's still fast enough.

I see you removed the ajax on the front page releases boxes, I thought ajax was a good choice for server bandwidth instead of loading entire thread each time.

It looks like it's better now.
Thank you for the tweaks

 

[Costello]

hm, no ajax? it's not a feature, it's a bug

which i now need to fix!

 

[Langin]

its extremly fast so there isnt any problem anymore now!

 

[Deleted_171835]

Super....quick! Yeah! It runs faster on my DSi now, for those times when you don't have access to a computer.

 

[Bladexdsl]

now it's fast again LOL what are you guys doing to it

 

[Maz7006]

If its fast for me, then im sure its fast for everybody else....

thanks Costello

 

[Deleted User]

Very quick for me faster than normal

Hey Costello, wasn't online for the KH rush (my mysql server stopped accepting connections, bandwidth jumped to like 1.7 gbit/sec (no shit!)). How did GBATemp hold up?

 

[Law]

Zoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooom

 

[Costello]

glad it's fast for everyone now

Ensiferous: I did mainly 2 things to "fix" our website
1) use nginx (alternate lightweight http server) to serve static content such as images, js, css... on top of apache2 for dynamic content. php runs with fast-cgi
2) use memcached (and memcache php extension) to cache SQL queries. I reduced the amount of SQL queries on the portal from 16 to 5 for mods and down to 1 for guests.
