What's going on with the server?

[germanos]

I use Opera, and the pages load bit by bit.
For example, a forum page will load a few threads at a time, for the threads themselves: they load a few posts at a time.

On average, a load takes 3-5 seconds (guesstimate). (it used to be under halve a second, or almost instantaniously)

If you load it in Firefox, or perhaps even IE, does it have the same problem? I know of at least one staff member who uses Opera, so it's not Opera itself, but ...

[germanos]

My only alternative *cough* is IE, which has the same problem.

My previous guesstimate was a bit on the positive side. I'm lucky if a page loads in less then 10 seconds

I was also doing some maintenance reprogramming teh ModBots (teh DanQ bot especially was behaving a little strangely), which might have caused some problems. Let me know if it acts up again.

The OP has broken the thread.

germanos,

Do non-PHP-driven sections of the site (like http://apolyton.net/civ2/) also load slow? Could you post a traceroute (Start > Uitvoeren > cmd > tracert apolyton.net)?

[Gramphos]

Also what is the page generation time compared to the page loading time? (As seen at the bottom of all forum pages)

I just did a quick test, and in my case Opera and IE have the same load time (+/- a very small percentage, but more likely related to the network itself rather than the browsers)

I had one such server error last night. Haven't had any problems with it except for that though.

Anyway, checked the numbers right now:

Page generated in 0.1732 seconds (77.49% PHP - 22.51% MySQL) with 54 queries
Page Loading Time: 4.306 seconds

I'm using Opera and it's working as normal.

[germanos]

Things appear to be back to normal.

Thanks, if you had anything to do with fixing it

[LordShiva]

It was hard work. You're welcome
