Site speed issues

[Ramsus]

I've recently done some tweaking to the forums and the site. If you still notice slowdown, please make a report in the forums. Be sure to mention what time it was and what part of the site was slow (i.e. the Encyclopedia page, the Art Gallery, the Forums, the front page), since each part runs on a different backend and won't perform the same.

Also, now would be a good time for feature requests (i.e. opening up the Wiki, or featuring recent oekaki art on the front page) and other reporting other problems you may be having.

Forums are really slow for me. 4:50 a.m. est.

I get really random slow spikes here and there.  Although annoying, it's not that big of a deal.

Same issues here. Slowdowns at random intervals. You'd have to install some performance measuring tool on the server to find any kind of pattern to them. You could do a cleanup on the database, or run some tests on the server if you host it yourself (with CT:DS the site has been more traffic). But i'm not entirely sure if those things are going to help much, it's looking a lot more like a server messing up on wherever it's hosted. Memory leak, Routing issue etc.

I've also been getting this error lately:

Proxy Error

The proxy server received an invalid response from an upstream server.
The proxy server could not handle the request POST /Forums/index.php.

Reason: Error reading from remote server
From what i know this is a 502 response from the server

Slowdown Log(ill keep this updated as best i can):

- 17:22 GMT+1 (12:22 Pacific/Easter) - Both forum and main site
- 17:32 GMT+1 (12:32 Pacific/Easter) - Both forum and main site
- 17:35 GMT+1 (12:35 Pacific/Easter) - Both forum and main site
- 17:41 GMT+1 (12:41 Pacific/Easter) - Both forum and main site
- 18:01 etc
- 19:36 GMT+1 Main site (small one really, 1 minute. The amount of slowdowns has gone down, and the ones i have gotten don't last as long)
- 22:34 gmt+1 (minus 5 for pac/east i think)
- 22:46

Most spikes last from between 1 - 5 minutes.

It seems faster than usual, now.

Thanks. I was doing a MySQL backup over an SSH tunnel right then, and it seems running mysqldump that way brings the server down to a crawl.

It'd be nice to have a way to login to the encyclopedia from anywhere.  But i guess that's changing the site for what....like 4/5 people so i guess it's not worth it. 

I think it's probably be easier for Zeality if we had a formal submission system.  A simple page to go to where you can upload a URL to your picture/video fan fix.  And a way for Zeality to go through each submission and mark it as approved (I'm pretty sure right now he comb's through submissions/kajar looking for news updates).

I'd also probably be more wiling to check the front page more often if somewhere we had a fan picture of the day/week.  Where it simply selected one of the pictures in our fan work section and displayed it as a thumbnail.  This would  have to be automated though or eventually we'd stop updating it.

it was slow a minute ago,

1:08 PM PST

[V_Translanka]

Hellz yeah to that Oekaki feature on the front page...though I'm thinking it'll mostly be a lot of Ramsus' own stuff

Or maybe just a fan creation feature that would also spotlight fanfics & other works (though I know the Compendium already does this for remixes & ROM hacks/original fan games)...*shrugs*

Korea Standard Time, but don't bother.

[x_XTacTX_x]

I also second the Oekaki on the front page idea. A little bit of the limelight for those us who frequent the BBS...

If PST is -8 hours from GMT, what is KST's difference?

[V_Translanka]

What? Pacific Standard isn't an 8-hour difference from General Mountain...>_>
