Server and site slowness issue after recent upgrades.

[MBMorgan]

Probably stating the obvious here, but it sure "feels" like we're seeing full table scans instead of properly indexed queries/views. I know this is an apples to oranges sort of question (I'm an old Oracle guy), but have you run stats and/or rebuilt indexes?

[RAYMBO]

Yep. Thanks. I will double check the table and database for this. I have done that in the past, but who knows how the upgrade may have affected things.

Notifications still won’t load…

[RAYMBO]

Try it now. There was a bad notification to a deleted post.

[RonB]

I just noticed a speed jump. Keepin' my fingers crossed.

[RonB]

Still some slowness though...

[Panhead John]

The speeds have varied throughout the past week..some. Right now it is a little quicker, but still a lot slower than normal.

[RAYMBO]

Sorry for the intermittent slowness. This is caused by my clearing the forum cache after fixing posts. It will cause a temp slowdown each time. I am trying to fix groups of bad characters before clearing to limit this problem.

[RAYMBO]

Update. One issue that *might* be part of the problem is the Google Analytics code is timing out. So Google is the slow one here. The page is waiting for a response and making Pitmaster look like it is slow. I am looking into fixing it so that this stops being an issue whenever Google/GA is having issues.

[rickgregory]

Can you load it async? Or mark it defer?

[RAYMBO]

I have done some performance testing and tweaking. They servers initial response is still "slow" by normal standards (about 2 seconds). But still fast enough for normal usage.

Anyone still having large slowness issues. Like more that a few seconds to load a page or post?

[RonB]

There is some improvement .Thanks.

[Reds Fan 5]

My notifications still won’t load. I have to refresh the page to able to do anything and never get to the notifications or messages.

[RAYMBO]

Ok. Looking into it.

[Panhead John]

Ray, clicking on “Recent Posts” has been back to normal speeds for me, but opening “Messages” and “Notifications” is still very slow, sometimes 10-15 seconds on my iPhone or iPad Pro. Here’s a video I just now shot. Also, when I tap on my AR shortcut on my homepage, it’s sometimes taking 30 seconds to open. I will include a video of that too.

Heres how long it takes to open AR from my shortcut. About 20 seconds.

Ditto

[RAYMBO]

There is some issue with notifications. I am checking it out.

[DavidNorcross]

I am still seeing a lag when loading posts. Nothing major, but it is noticeably slower.

[hoovarmin]

It's still crawling for me

[Oak Smoke]

I hate to complain, but me too.

[DaveD]

I have noticed improvement but not back to how it was pre-update.

[ofelles]

ditto

[Steve R.]

Still about a two second delay to load anything for me.

[hoovarmin]

I wish it were only two seconds for me. It is taking 25 seconds to load the notifications center for me. A little less for the recent posts link, but still way too long.

[RAYMBO]

I see this as well. Sometimes. Not always. A few seconds, then 20+ seconds (only on the Notifications). I did a teak to the that table the contains the notifications. But today when I checked, still a long delay. I will work in this until it is fixed!

[RichieB]

Some improvement but very inconsistent performance.

[Panhead John]

Ditto. Yesterday “Recent Posts” was quick to load, today I’m noticing it’s about 2-3 seconds slower than yesterday

[GolfGeezer]

+2 Posting is noticeably slow, and opening a thread from Recent Posts is about 2-4 seconds.

[hoovarmin]

If it were 2-4 seconds for me I wouldn't even mention it, but it is more like 20+ seconds for me to get into the notification page

[Porkies]

Notifications, replying to a thread are the slow downs I've been experiencing. It's between 10 and 20 seconds for either to complete.

EDIT - Really an added note. This time, at least, it seems to be faster as I click more and more threads.

[DaveD]

My current UX snapshot:

Notifications page is definitely slowest to load, even when only a few notifications are in there.

Recent Posts comes up fairly quickly, only slightly slower than Before.

Links to individual threads are a bit more than slightly slower than Before.

[Allon]

Agreed
