SMF Support > Server Performance and Configuration
Transferred over to VPS, issues with speed.
Liam_michael:
Hello, ever since I transferred over to a VPS, my website has been running dreadfully slow compared to when I wasn't on a VPS. I checked the ram and it's running at ~200mb out of 756mb, which means that the website is barely consuming any memory - resources are perfectly fine. What could the problem possibly be then? I remember that when I had the basic plan ($3.99/month), my website would load instantly, barely any loading. I haven't added any scripts or anything since the change, so could it be simply be how the server processes php pages? Perhaps SMF requires a specific configuration? I'm shooting blanks here scratching my head. My none php website runs super quick on the same server.
What could I possibly tell the admins of the main server host to do to optimize speed like before? Does it have to do with apache or some sort of server setting that accelerates speed?
According to the caching part in Server Settings, it says: SMF has detected that your server has APC installed.
What does this mean and does this pertain to speed?
I know the server has a different configuration now than it did when I shared a server because before it wouldn't accept spell check, but now it does...

I would turn caching on use APC go for caching level 2 and see how it affects your site.

Nope, still slow as hell :-[
Strange update: I rebooted my VPS, and it's fast again :s I've found this to be the case twice now. Perhaps a cronjob needs to be run so that it reboots once a day?

Do you have tables in InnoDB? If so, try increasing InnoDB buffers, you seem to have a large pool of unused RAM for it. And maybe increase sort_buffer_size, you seem to have 64k, I have it on 2M.

Paracelsus, how do I do these things you recommended?
