SIte Slow loading

[Gr8snkbite]

Folks,

Im current conducting a review and need your support...over the course of the next few days when you come on the site i need you to pay attention to page loading times..i.e.

1. Time how long it takes for the main page to load after logging in (after clicking the log in button)...

2. Time how long it takes for pages to load, when moving from thread to tread

3. Time how long it takes to load notifications page to view PMs

4. Time how long it takes for page to load after clicking "submit" to add a new post


Just post your info in here please.

Thanks....:tiphat2:

[68fastback]

PMs take a long time -- often 20-40 seconds.

Most threads load acceptably: 2-10 seconds, tho some threads take much longer (30 seconds or more) ...and it doesn't seem to matter how many times you try a slow therad, but later the same day it may not be slow and another one may be slow.

I'll try to be more conscious of specific times but what I've noticed is that load times for threads are quite variable whereas PMs always seem to take longer.

I stay logged-in (I use "remember me") so haven't noticed log-in times.

What do you mean in 2 "...from thread to tread" ?

It's taking me a long time to find tread on this forum. :look:

.

[68fastback]

Just opened a bunch of threads and all loaded very fast ...under 3 seconds for the longest.

...just opened PMs and it took 18 secs ...a bit faster than usual.

[Gr8snkbite]

yea, i notice going into PMs takes longer to load as well....say for replying to posts....though the more i go thru the site, the faster pages load...but did get some feedback from KH tonight...

[Cobra Drifter]

The only delays I have been getting is going to "Settings" page as its bookmarked so I go directly there and my login credientials are set to Remember Me so no login needed.
Settings takes about 30 seconds minimum on my first visit of the site for the day or within a few hours

This is why he doesn't know what BdCH, BCH or a RCH is, it can only be explained in a PM off of the forum and he doesn't do PMs.

Yea and I replied to him but I dont think anything was done yet the sites performance has improved. I wonder if KH found something and passed the buck as not their issue but went ahead and secretely fied it :look:



:haha:

[Gr8snkbite]

Seems faster, but i guess its hit n miss....haven't forwarded the data to vB yet...got swamped the last few days, but am submitting a ticket this evening with the info. I do however think we should look at doing the next software upgrade soon.

Where's Joker...:trouble:


And i do share.....:trouble:

[Cobra Drifter]

The software upgrade really wont fix an issue with the database performance unless it was a known bug. It goes under that good old suggestion of rebooting your computer to fix any computer issue lol

[Gr8snkbite]

true, but it was recommended by KH, since the upgrade may fix certain bugs that are contained in the software...however, i'm open...i gage it on how often this has been happening, what changed, and what to fix it...we shall see..

[Cobra Drifter]

There is a Fix List that is posted with each version. If nothing in the fix list looks/sounds like it would help then it wouldnt be required to install to fix the performance issue as it could be adding an extra variable of presenting new bugs

Did MC send the info from KH to CD?

yes, waiting response and resolution

[Cobra Drifter]

How long is KH going to monitor the situation before they fix it?

[Orf]

How long is KH going to monitor the situation before they fix it?

My take is KH isn't going to do anything. Their position is an update to a new vB version *should* fix it.

Thats just my understanding. I realize that I probably got it wrong, though.

[Cobra Drifter]

Well upgrading isnt really going to fix it. It "may" but I'd doubt it. If they are saying its a dabase issue of it not using memory then its a database configuration issue most liely which an upgrade of the vB software wont touch.
Somehow the database server settings changed and we need to find out when it started and if it was a direct result from an upgrade of vB.

Once we know those then we will know what the cause is and how to fix it.

Where do you see this information, because I still see nothing? Or is that how it is now?

[Cobra Drifter]

You lost me after "but I'd doubt it".

Isnt this the issue where KH said its because our database isnt using memory and instead writting everything to temporary files on teh hard drive?

[Tommy Gun]

I really don't understand why we are having problems when other sites that I am on w/ hundreds of thousands of members and no fees are running flawlessly???

Really! What are we doing wrong??

[Orf]

You really need to stop with the "poor, oppressed me" attitude. Nobody is hiding anything from you. Maybe if you didn't jump to wild conclusions, and suspect everyone is conspiring against you, people wouldn't have to think twice about sharing information.

Not trying to be mean, just speaking frankly.

This was in a PM, describing what KH found:


For some reason, your mysql databases do not seem to be using any memory whatsoever. This means that your mysql queries are writing tmp tables to disk, which is highly inefficient. The slow downs on your site are due to the delay from having to write the tables out to disk, perform whatever action you're requesting, then write any changes made back to the original tables in the database. You'll need to consult with VBulletin's support to see if there's any way to fix this. Upgrading to the latest version may help if you're not already running it. Upgrading to the latest version of Mysql can also help with performance.

[Tommy Gun]

I guess I'm not in Admin PM's then either.

The difference between us and big sites is that they have MAJOR hardware thrown at theirs to support the loads. We are running on a Virtual Private Server which is just a divided slot on a single server which may have up to 20 divided slots all sharing the server but isolated from one another.

the difference is ours running less than $100 a month for the VPS server and theirs costing hundreds and hundreds of dollars a month for one or many dedicated powerful servers

This is pretty much the access of sharing info in these public threads. Info in pm's isnt really much different. Keith even posted a quote from one of said pm's.

[Orf]

I guess I'm not in Admin PM's then either.

It was a reply to a question I posed. Not a group discussion.

i suggested getting CD involved, as it was way beyond my knowledge base.

[Orf]

Not a one time purchase. It comes down to how much do you want to spend each month. We are barely making ends meet as it is.

[Tommy Gun]

This is way too confusing.

Seems like a lack of communication.

[Cobra Drifter]

:shrug: Seems fine to me.

[Tommy Gun]

Carry on.


Don't mind me then, sorry.

[Orf]

This is way too confusing.

Seems like a lack of communication.

More like a lack of understanding. At least from me. I'm not an IT guy. I know a few software packages pretty well, but none that deal with web stuff.

And I don't have the time or inclination to learn about vB.

[68fastback]

Bill, what CD was saying is that we pay a logical slice (a virtual machine or virtual private server) on a physical server (the physical machine/computer). Big forum sites have whole, dedicated, physical sever(s) running their forum site and pay accordingly (as CD pointed out) ...we have a virtual slice on a physical server that's shared with other virtual servers/applications and therefore pay much less.


That said, I'm not sure I'm buying KH's explanation in the context of what we're seeing. My sense is that the slowdowns are largely caused by other activity (other virtual private servers) on the same physical server we're on. When I clicked into the site today (about 30 minutes ago) threads were taking well over a minute to load (some 2.5 minutes). Then, all of a sudden, all threads were loading in about 3 seconds. The erratic and abrupt nature of such changes implies dynamic [physical] server loading changes, not software bottlenecks on our VPN. Those dynamics are likely choking some physical resource -- a bottleneck -- which might be the CPU (unlikely to be the CPU for long periods like a minute) or disk (much more likely, but not likely due to our applications disk usage). Discs are shared reources too and are much easier to 'clog' when other I/O -ntensive virtual servers on the same physical server are pushing high I/O rates.

While I accept their assessment that our VB may be queing on disk vs using memory can and will slow things down somewhat, that would slow things down rather consistently and modestly -- might double response time during heavy usage by us, but in no way can account for the dramatic shifts in reponse we're seeing from a couple/few seconds to a couple/few minutes, imho So while I accept their assessment as valid I do not accept it as the cause of the erratic response dynamics we're actually seeing.

CD is your sense similar on this?

[Cobra Drifter]

I couldnt have said it better myself and agree exactly with it all. If it was our issue it would be consistantly bad, not intermitantly good and bad. Today it took over a minute to get to my Settings page but then after each page loaded fine. Probably like a cache'ing issue. If their VPS partioning osftware isnt working right (maybe they upgraded theirs recently) and now we are having issues related from it. I think we should hold off updating any of our vB software as not to complicate the issue of identifying the issue. If we do like they say and update then they may say that it wasnt fixed in teh softwre and to wait for further updates etc. Probably a stalling tactic while they get their server software fixed or upgraded with a patch lol

Could be stalling or they may simply know thay have no way to really prevent another VPS from occasionally spiking I/O (or whatever key resource) usage ...could be we share a physical server with a VPS that has a much bigger slice and pays a lot more so they may not be keen to address it either -- or several that tend to spike I/O. The fact that they zeroed-in on disc queuing mght also indicate they know it's another VPS but if we didn't depend on disk I/O (vs memeory) theother VPS(es) would not affect us as much :shades: ...that would be my guess. Of course their virtual machine algorithms are supposed to more equiatably 'distribute' resources but, as a matter of practice, dynamic large resource demand shifts can frustrate even the best VM resource sharing techniques.

I wonder if VB migth have insight on how to exploit memory vs disc queuing on the release we're already on ...that would seem to be something that many VB customers would be interested in, and may just be some setting changes in their software vs needing to upgrade, since it would seem to be a durable consideration for any VB forum site on any VB release running on a VPS ...likely many if not most of their forum software customers.

[Cobra Drifter]

I think our next logical step is to get vB involved so we have the ammo to fight back with KH if needed.
Darn freakin really slooooow today. :(

vB responded and asked if we have downloaded the latest version (5.0.2) and MySQL yet. I replied nope, and asked if this would fix the issues we are experiencing...waiting for response...

[Cobra Drifter]

vB 5.x is a COMPLETELY new major upgrade. Remember going from 3.x to 4.x well its the same major breaking change. We would need to verify and upgrade all plugins and custom code and sute the red and blue skins wont apply anymore either.

I dont think its the solution as if it was, then every other 4.x site would be doing the same. Im concerned

[Gr8snkbite]

Copy that..just passing on their response...not buying it myself...

[The Bone]

very slow today Just saying

Disk space and memory usage on average could well look perfectly normal since neither of those would necessarily reflect dynamic high I/O rates (not a disc space issue) by another VPS on same physical server.

...my irst access this evening about seven minutes ago took 4 min 25 sec to load :faint: ...a new record -- but that's probably because I usually give up after a couple minutes and try again later.

I then opened five threads one after another (in separate tabs) and all loaded in under 8 seconds except for "time to reload the mod budget" which took about 25 sec.

...test.

I then opened edit to post the word "test" above and it took only 1 sec to open it and about 2 secs to post it.

---

Then I opened edit again so I could post above sentence and it took 23 seconds to open the edit panel and it loaded very odd: nothing for about 20 sec, then 3 seconds of the edit panel in an odd format which then switched to the normal edit pane ...had the distinct feel of getting tiny time slices of a constrained resource ...but dunno which resource.

Saving (posting) the above sentence-edit took 15 sec.

Also, there's no reason I can think of for the software to cache more than what can be scrolled (10 post page default) since it has to reload if you click to another/next page anyway ...but who knows?

Site took a long time to load my Settings page. Its my bookmarked link.

This is what I knew vB would say and what KH would say. Passing teh buck. However with the next contact with KH could it be relayed that we have not had a software upgrade in many months and lately we started experiencing the performance dedgradation. So this shows that nothing has changed with the software or even plugins. so the only variable is the server. This is 100% a KH issue. If we havent changed anything and stuff starts happening then well only one possibility

Also got that "Are you sure you want to leave this page" when posting my above reply. Performance is bad today.

As for large threads: performance is the same as small threads. The only real difference is if the thread's page to be displayed has large amounts of 3rd party linked images like photobucket pics in teh page as the delay will also come from loading those pics.
The way vB displays threads is to use math to determine which posts to display and how many pages are total in the thread.

121 post thread with the default display setting of 40 posts per page:
121 / 40 = 4 pages
When clicking on the thread title it will display the first page of 40 posts
When clicking on the last page it displays 1 post on page 4.

So there is only a range of 1-40 posts that it would ever have to query the database to display at a single time.

I get that too quite a bit ...your instinct is "stay on this page" but, ironically, you have to select "leave this page" to actually get it to post. I suspect that's a VB/software incompatibility with the Browser vs a performance issue ...what do you suspect, CD? However it does seem (uncertain) to do it more when the site is slow ...which is strange.

Correct because the page hasnt got the notification from the database that an insert/update has occured. This is directly related to performance issues.

the time it takes to load a thread seems to be linked to the number of pages and content of those pages. The more pages and more pictures within the pages the longer it takes to load. The "What did you do today" thread took me several minutes where this thread loaded in 5 seconds.

Pretty quick now.

This a.m. was slowest I've seen tho. I tried a couple different threads and gave up after 8 minutes and 10 minutes ...strange.

[Tommy Gun]

Super quick right now, but I'm not in the big city and probably because no one else is on. :look:

[Gr8snkbite]

Slow again for me today.

Might be a coincidence, but the last two times I noticed the site running slow was just after I dowloaded the latest backup, and deleted all but the most current from the server. Maybe I'm not doing something right? Don't know why that would be the case. The only folder I deal with is the folder that only contains backup data.

[Tommy Gun]

It was slow and erratic late yesterday for me and I didn't notice anyone in the ACP, when did you do the backup?

[Gr8snkbite]

today is the first day i noticed slow loading issues in a long while....server is at 83% capacity, well it was yesterday, guess Orf did the backup hence loading issues...strange indeed....

[Orf]

Early this morning.

it isn't done through the ACP. I use FileZilla, and go through a numbered DNS address.

[Tommy Gun]

Gotcha, thanks.


It would be nice to have a list of things that can actually slow down the site to check on, unless of course there are hundreds of things.

[Orf]

Gotcha, thanks.

Don't look at me. I have no idea what can slow the site down. I'm just the backup guy...

[Gr8snkbite]

Gotcha, thanks.

it could be a host of things to cause slowness...each one unique to any other...back ups is the main...if we dont keep the server storage at lowest point, the server gets none responsive to a degree...

but i think part of the issue may be clearing the cache files as well which can be done thru the ACP. I've talked with joker a number of times about it...as soon as he is off night shift he'll be back to look things over, which should be soon.

other issues with the server and how certain protocols are set up within to help the site run more efficient can plague it...but i think with the past issues we got that resolved...as i said, i have not noticed any slowness since the last report (this thread created then).

Each time there is a specific site issue, a new ticket is generated with KH (first) to resolve, which in almost every case they have, by moving things around in the server (dont ask, its above my level of comprehension).

Just logged in and some pages seem to load as before...i find that not all pages are affected, and in most cases, the first few i click on are slow, but after that, things speed up...which i attribute to cache files being regenerated, much like when you search porn :giggle: its saved for memory to allow the server to load the page faster....

Maybe the NSA isn't finished with their updates.

It could happen.
