Forum is very slow!

[Perickowsm]

Hello guys im not sure if this goes here, recently our forum is performing very slow, once you click to any Thread it is very slow abot 40 seconds to display the thread posts.

Is there any issue?

What is the first step on trying to fix this issue.

BTW, im not sure if the issue is really with SMF!

if you need the page let me know, thanks

thank you.

can you provide the link to your forum so we can look into this further?

sounds like a server issue more then an issue with SMF.

Also make sure your internet connection has not gone bad.

Along with what Ricky said, you can go to any one of several speed test sites (like speedtest.net) and it will check your upload/download speeds.

i would think by the time someone is posting here about a slow site, many members on their forum are also reporting the same thing. so it is not their connection.

Hi to all,

my internet connection is good, and yes the forum users are reporting the same issue.

link is westsidemx . com i used spaces beause im not allowed to share external links here

Thanks to all for the help and time

your host is godaddy? if so that is your problem, they are an oversold host. only solution is to find a non-oversold host to use.

[Perickowsm]

Yes it is, so you recommend to check it on their side?

[Illori]

no, i recommend you find a new host. godaddy will be less then helpful in solving the issue.

[Perickowsm]

Got it, thank you very much.

[Steve]

so it is not their connection.

I don't know how you came to that conclusion when there was no mention of other members complaining about the forum being slow up to the point where you posted. It was likely but hardly certain until the next post.

no, i recommend you find a new host. godaddy will be less then helpful in solving the issue.

While I agree with this, prior experience has taught me that when you have a problem with your host, squawking loud enough and long enough will get you results. I'm no fan of GoDaddy and would never use them but I certainly would recommend contacting them about the issue, repeatedly if necessary.

you complain to godaddy, the best they will tell you is the issue is not theirs, or they may offer you a higher priced VPS or dedicated server for your forum which you dont need.

I have had a couple of forums on Go Daddy and dumped them after 3 months.  Go Daddy is not a good choice for web hosting, unless you just have a few static pages that comprise your website.

This site is kind of cool for checking website speed.

It happens because go daddy shared hosting is a piece of junk
