balo Posted December 15, 2018 Author Share Posted December 15, 2018 It amazes me they can't find out what's causing the lag every 30 minutes . Surely there must be some data gurus out there with the answers, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This started some time ago and is getting worse, I'd look into something that was added after the CSS change, likely a DB join query/index growing out of control/etc. No quick solution except to delete things, reduce functionality and so on. Or revert to the TVF that still worked. You mean the one that was fixed when it wasn't broken? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everyone will see different adds, google analyzes everyone by their searches, the sites they visit and even what you post, so predictable anyone who researches or writes about server problems is going to get server related adds.

My thoughts too but theres also a lot of script api calls, cache system and the use of cloudflare to consider. The possible list is endless. Also got to consider how much customization has taken place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes but the number of records in the database is not so important. A site with only 100 posts could quite easily fall over if too many people were trying to read them or the the system had a bug. The thaivisa server clearly shows it can handle its load during consistent time periods. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stud858 Posted December 15, 2018 Share Posted December 15, 2018 I have noticed slight changes to esthetics of the site over time. Modification to code maybe knocked something out of place. Anyway, nothing like a process of elimination my dear Watson and im sure things will come back to normalcy. Good luck and happy trouble shooting techies.

Lost packets and etc. The problem has been reported and is being worked on. And now its one month later and its still slow, even unusable at time. Ironic that since it was taken over and became a business and one would of thought 'professional', the operation of the forum has been completely 'amateur.'

Crossy Posted December 16, 2018 Share Posted December 16, 2018 Trust me, it's as frustrating for us as it is for you. Sadly I can't offer any advice other than to avoid the forum at the top and bottom of the hour when things seem to go awry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The half hourly time slots are a bit of a red herring, it's seriously slow all of the time. I mentioned a week or so ago that the delays at x.02 and x.32 are probably the result of some cron job running every 30 minutes. I would expect it to be an indexing or archiving task. If you ignore that particular 30-minute problem the site is indeed still slow to load all the time, but that's entirely due to the massive amount of ads and spurious images. Remove those and it is quite fast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
