Site Speed

Unknown

I know this has been brought up a lot lately, but I think it's high on the list of things we need to fix around here. I can't work out whether this is just a forum issue, or whether its totally site-wide. Either way, its something which needs to be fixed.

Any ideas on what could be causing the lag, and/or how to fix this?

I've noticed Dfg getting things done a lot lately, and if this is a forum issue which could be taken care of quickly, it would be great. After all, we all want a fast site

Install noscript for firefox. Make sure totse.info is not allowed to run javascript.

I know that there is a quick work around with this method, but what about a full time fix so that we don't have to do that?

gona try this

Mayberry

Yeh, WTB real fix.

McSkluvin

Yeah, I think if we want to have a nice swarm of new members, we need it to be faster, otherwise the new members would just complain and leave, or not even join at all.

How though? Can someone pinpoint EXACTLY what the problem is? Is it that JS file we mentioned the other day? Or something similar.

ScuD

im a noob. but if bandwidth is a problem....cant we set a pay pal for donations..?? i know i would donate.

Mayberry

Most definitely not a bandwidth problem. Traffic here isn't too much at the moment.

I have no idea what is causing it. I think its something DFG did.

Dfg! What were the last few things you changed around here?

This is the latest in the Forum Log.

• New prefix Guide added throughout major sections.
• Soundcloud Support Added.
• E-mail Confirmation Removed.
• Totse IRC Link added.
• Site Developer Section Added.
• Developer User Group Added.
• Some minor forum changes.

Soundcloud maybe?

Mayberry

That could be possible. Soundcloud was added around the time the site started slowing down. Remove it for a few days and see if things speed up.

Mayberry

I still see the button. Did he add it back in? Back to square one then :mad:

Mayberry

At least it's being narrowed down, but doesn't look like the other changes would slow down the site. Unless we're getting hacked because of no email confirmation

fanglekai

It had to have been something changed recently. We do need a permanent fix for it.

Hellish

Hmm. This is so screwy. Now its fast?

Mayberry

Seems to have gotten back to normal or almost normal load times. Did you find the problem?

bornkiller

We being monitored.....HARD!
Whats it like on other browsers...Opera, Midori, Google, FF ecetablah.
When using FF I found it started to do some pretty fucked up shit so I switched to Midori.
Edit: Take that back...Midori just fucked itself to.:mad:

Mayberry

Nevermind, it's still slow. Didn't turn off Noscript properly

Unknown

Using Google Chrome works a little better for me because of it's script rendering awesomness.

Think about it guys. If turning noscript off makes the problem go away, then it must be a script slowing the site down, right?

Dfg

The site is fast, the pages load decently. There is one fucking script or something that pauses the browser. It's like everything is loaded but one stupid file takes ages to load. Once you disable java it just works. So, I am sure it's some Javascript elements that's causing the problem.

Since it does that with every page, we could assume it's something global. Hellish fixed the cookie issues if you guys remember and after that we started having this issue. Hellish, what changes did you make?

I am going to strip down the forum and remove all the extra features and then test them one by one.

Hopefully in few hours, I would have narrowed this problem down.

http://www.totse.info/js/linkage.js <-- ? Hellish

Dammit, I think it's the WordPress Hellish, it's mixing up the directories.

http://www.totse.info/js/ <--- Gets handled by WordPress and because of that, the site loads slow because the main Javascript files can't be accessed and thanks to that the browser sets those files in pending with a 500 error.

ScuD

i love you guys.

bornkiller

I believe you may have found the issue.
Neck Snapping performance with JS activated:thumbsup:
Touch Wood.....AAArrrgggghhhh.

StephenPBarrett

Everything seems to be running pretty smoothly at my end of things. It did get slow for a little while but that only lasted a few days.

bornkiller

It's a lot quicker with js activated until you go to edit your post...then it lags.
Besides that....all fuckin good 9 outta 10 ain't bad:thumbsup:

Dysgraphia

The speed's fluctuating like hell now. Took less than a second to open this tab, and it might take a minute to post.

Nvm: Took 30 seconds. :rolleyes:

Mayberry

Perhaps you're just experiencing some sort of time dilation effect

Wordpress is behind this! IMO but I could be wrong.

The speed has improved. I no longer need to add Totse to Noscript.

Mayberry

Great. Noscript off

LSA King

Feels a little bit faster today. Thats good news.

fanglekai

Much faster today.

McSkluvin

All is good in the neighborhood!

I don't understand what was done to fix the problem did we disable something on Wordpress that was slowing us down or something?

Don't question it, it will make it not work again. Don't you know anything about technology?

I do! I was the one that fixed it....I run my left hand flat across my keyboard from left to right while randomly hitting keys with my right hand.......fixed:thumbsup:

I jizzed all over my screen and spread it out to form the word "totse". I think it worked.
