Site Unusually Slow Today?

tapehoser · Feb 19, 2008

Is it just me or does our site seem to be having some problems today? Page was especially slow to load and navigating around is nasty.

Extremely slow. I was going to post a message to Jeff/Thomas about it but couldn't even access the site. Other local sites seem to operating at normal speeds so it doesn't appear that the problem is with my ISP.

It seems to have been getting progressively worse over the last few weeks. Today has been awful, I've had some 500 and 404 errors too.

Does the server need some TLC or do we need to chip in for some more bandwidth?

Ditto. Been getting worse over the last little while.

If we need some $ to upgrade anything, let me know. I would be happy to help.

Agreed. I hopped on our server subnet to see if we are getting hammered, and it is still slow.

Poor site

Maybe we need a cleanup on the DB?

Is the site actually run on a home-grown server???

Home grown or not, it's done well since '04...

No, it's hosted by a company named Dreamhost.

Or some think. Ive been a Dreamhost customer for about 4 years and have had no problems at all.

Meh I dunno.

I'll see if Thomas can find out what's going on. I've noticed a slowdown too.
