Slow Loading

[Mindovermaster Global Moderator]

When I try to open main forums page, it takes like 20 seconds to load. When I go to different threads, it takes less time, like 15. Is there something up with the site, or is it just me... Ad loading issues, or whatnot?

Maybe due to the upgrade they are doing.

I doubt that. It's been this way for a few days now.

 

On ping, it just hangs. Using traceroute, it gets around 1500ms. To the different servers.

Same here.

Only started being slow for me today after the upgrade.

I've only noticed it in the last few hours.

This is likely due to the upgrade...

Board might be a bit slower for the next day or so while it reindexes everything in the background.

Still much slower than before upgrade

We know why, but Dave still has to investigate a slow query when he has time. It's on the list of things to do.

I've tracked down the issue, the upgrade at the weekend dropped a couple of indexes on the topic table - obviously not ones that IPB normally uses itself, but they do get used generating the mini-spy data at the top of the page. This was causing the queries that load the data for that area to take much longer than usual, and at times of heavy traffic, bog down the database completely. I've readded the indexes, and things seem to be getting back to normal now.
