I have just been checking through the site and it seems to be very slow, on some occasions it takes up to 40 seconds to call a page, it's like being on dial up again :mad:

Is anyone else having the same issue, we have reset our server so I don't think the problems is with us, can admin shed any light?

Regards

Stuart

search for keyword "chocolate" took on my server (which do nothing right now)
1 min 20 sec ( 31 March 2007 2:30AM Greenvich)
http://productsdirectory.co.uk/search/ (http://productsdirectory.co.uk/search/category.php?c=437&q=chocolate)

when the same search on http://shopwindow.com/ (http://shopwindow.com/category.php?c=437&q=chocolate) (about the same time of the night) took 2 sec

and shop by ishop http://www.i-shop-uk.co.uk/ (http://www.i-shop-uk.co.uk/category.php?c=437&q=chocolate) took 7 sec

I have dedicated server and I can see that it does not have any load, so what I can do to trace this problem?

Is it because my server located in US , New Jersey?

Any advice, idea? How to make it faster?

I have carried out the same check on "chocolate"

My page loaded in about 5-7 seconds. I am hosted with 1and1. Average load time for most pages is between 5-10 seconds.

Hi Guys,

I am aware of this thread and monitoring as best as I can (bit difficult as its weekend though!).

A quick thought; are you all caching your pages? Or are the pages being forced to compile each time.

This may have a slight baring....

Thanks

As this is the first search for "chocolate" it would not have been cached for me.

i don't think it's just the shop - the AW main site has been crushingly slow recently too.

I must say that I am not too surprised about early performance issues given the size of the sites being created and the initial surge of spidering activity that I am personally seeing. It will be interesting to see just how much bandwidth a typical shop consumes per month - some people may be a little surprised! Suitable hosting recommendations will no doubt be discussed before too long given that unlimited rarely means unlimited!

I tried my another server (shared account in this case located in UK)

and the search for "chocolate" retured in 3 sec (10:30PM Greenvich 31 march 2007 )

http://chocolate-gift.co.uk/search/category.php?c=437&q=chocolate (http://chocolate-gift.co.uk/search/category.php?c=437&q=chocolate)

So the location of server is under suspisious.

But also might be version of OS/Web Server and even more likely PHP itself.

My slow working server has Apache/1.3.33 (Unix) with PHP 4.3.10

Interesting my fast (3 sec) server has PHP version 4.3.2

01-04-07, 10:43
PHP Version 5.1.6
Apache 1.3.37

Still 10/11 secs based in US

Mine is

PHP Version 5.1.4
Apache 1.3.33

Godaddy us based server.

I am suffering more than 40% bounce rate away from my site, one of the possible reason could be the slow performance. Is anyone looking into this problem? ........................

Thx

I have noticed the same thing. my isp is running PHP version 4.4.4, Apache Version 1.3.37.

I simply uploaded everything as it was too start with, with no modifications other to change the caching parameter, and it runs very slowly all the time.

any suggestions.
