Slow loading

[Samadhi]

I've checked my bandwidth and it's still top notch (virtually every common website loads in about 1/10 to 1/2 second). However, when loading the GL and only the GL, I've experienced EXTREMELY slow load times. Like 10+ seconds. And sometimes it's been so long, I've given up (yeah like a minute).

I don't see that much traffic that would be interfering. And I don't see anyone else complaining about it....

So, is it just me?

Oh, that took 27 seconds to post.

[Edit: and this one took ~1 second]

Seems like there's an occasional massive load on the GL servers, yeah.

[Samadhi]

Which I (annoyingly) haven't noticed in the last few hours. meh

I have the same problem but only loading http://www.greylabyrinth.com/discussion and when posting. The rest of the site seems to work fine.

[wordcross]

I've had some problems, especially in loading pages after submitting a post. Travis has obviously been having the same problems: http://www.greylabyrinth.com/discussion/viewtopic.php?p=372693#372693

at first i thought it was my buggy modem, but lately other websites have been loading just fine, while the GL is still sometimes slow.

why would there be occassional bandwidth suckage?

I, too, have had the same issue. It is slow but not unbearable when GL browsing, but submitting a post appears to take about 45-75 seconds each time I post a response.

And Travis complained of the same thing in OT.

[Courk]

I'll be more alert to this problem now. Occasionally my cable thingy needs to reboot, and sites get slow just before then. I rebooted it yesterday, so I'll assume anything new is the mystery GL problem.

Also, hasn't Travis been having this problem? ;-)

[mudbuck]

Last time this happened was when a Firefox Extension turned off some of my Javascripts. 'Twas a queer time indeed.

[Antrax]

I'm going to go on a limb and say it's some problem with a router somewhere along the way from you to the GL. It's probably not a technical problem with the GL itself, because very few users have been affected.

[Courk]

Mine is a bit slower.

[Ctorj]

Me and Amb were chatting when we noticed the GL just stoppped working for a few minutesd for both of us, then it was slow for a while after that.

[CrystyB]

Just to post the "other side", i have not been experiencing any slowdown of the GL so far, neither while posting nor while browsing...

[Jack_Ian]

I'm having problems too with IE.

So far, FF seems to be behaving well.

[Jack_Ian]

FireFox is slow too.

[Antrax]

This is more worrying. I thought it's a localised US thing at first, but if it's still happening and for people from different places, there may be a larger problem.

[Samadhi]

Last night it timed out on me several times.

[Ctorj]

I had lots of problems with the GL this morning. All other regular sites I go to worked fine.

[VinnyQ]

I been having problem too, long post time ...

Antrax, tell mith to stop dl'ing p0rn.

[CrystyB]

sp?

[Vinny]

ack you got me Crysty. I am a l33t sp33ker wanna b

Antrax, it could be the database. Try running defrag and reindex on it or something. Better yet, find the person with the most posts and delete all of them from the database to clear it out.

[mith]

Pah, it's not me, I've got my own website to download pr0n from.

[mith]

I mean... er...

I blame Klemmen.

[Samadhi]

It seems to me that the worst times are at night, which makes little sense since there should be less traffic then.

[Courk]

At about midnight EDT GL pages wouldn't even open for me. I didn't save the message, though.

[Samadhi]

Same thing happens here, or they load but are blank which is weird.

[Samadhi]

Interesting. I replied 'me too' in the OT Klemmen topic started by Vinny. It stalled. I clicked stop and hit submit again. It stalled. I tried to load the main discussion page and timed out.

I shut down all interfaces and retried. Here's the interesting thing. There are two posts by me saying 'me too', and yet CP is still listed as the most recent poster in the thread. Clearly, some scripts are failing.

[Talitha]

[Dragon Phoenix]

Just chipping in to say that I have problems as well. Sometimes the site does not load at all, sometimes answers take forever to post - or do not post at all.

[Samadhi]

For me, this started happening immediately after the newest php update was available. I don't see how the lack of update would suddenly cause things to suck, but I thought I should mention.

[jeep]

On scum, I rebuilt the indexes. I don't have easy access on the GL. I could haxor it, but I'll let Antrax or someone with legit access do so.

-JEEP

P.S. Just to put your mind at ease... *MOST* people couldn't hack it. I have ftp access to the site, so could upload a script and execute it.

[VinnyQ]

alright jeep! or antrax, or somebody.

You fixored it.

[Antrax]

Probably Hy.

The GL just missed me; that's all.

I'm rebuilding the search function right now, so, if it seems a bit slow right now, that's why.

awesome

next, tell antrax to restore all of the pruned stuff

That will be worth at least a week of nostalgia, right there

So how do we fix the search feature?

It seems to me that barely anthing was coming up with search.

Also, do you still have the old stuff?
