SMF Support > Server Performance and Configuration
What Godaddy's "Expert Hands" team told me...
Illori:
usually not, godaddy is known for telling users there are problems and pushing them to upgrade to a bigger/better server they dont need.

I realize this, but if I have no concrete evidence that they are doing this and everything I am running is optimal and as it should, I can't get them to change it, so can you guys give me some stuff to say to them?
Aleksi "Lex" Kilpinen:
Things you can do are basically limited to settings changes, review of mods you use, and so on.
Are they trying to convince you to upgrade your hosting, or were they looking at things on the server from your request, or is this something else?
Are you having performance issues? What version of SMF are you running? Are there many mods installed?
Have you taken a look at Twenty-four things you can do to make SMF go faster (Updated June 16th, 2010)?

I'm running SMF 2.0.1, and they keep telling me to upgrade to a dedicated server. I have an average system load for 1 minute of 2 seconds, which doesn't sound like a lot, but I get so slow of page loading it might as well be overloaded. And yes, I've checked out that link before and followed some of the suggestions on it. Here are the mods that I'm using:

Aleksi "Lex" Kilpinen:
There are many mods there that might contribute towards serverload, and cause extra queries to the db.
I can easily imagine at least Related topics, autokeywords, resizeimagestofitscreen, pretty URLs, aeva media, simpleportal (and plugins), users online today and most popular topic today to be doing this. Specially pretty URLs and some simpleportal plugins (if you have any shoutboxes etc, these definitely).
