Thanks,

just now

20 second login aprox

click on this post another 30 seconds to appear for reading

click on post reply another 20 seconds to get to window

total aprox 70 seconds to get to the reply form ,thats before typing a response/reply

i find it quicker to read post not logged in as they appear instantanousely .


just really highlighing the issue not being un appreciative for the offering of this site and im sure with some closer inspection of code/configuration it will get resolved. FWIW three years ago i migrated a hotel portal to a new domain very similar start up issues and slow performance eventually traced down to three hardcoded scripts to the old domain <script src= http://oldmain.com/somejquery.js> for example .not saying thats the issue but until looking closer we would never have discovered it has it wasnt flagged in the console error logs as the old domain was still active.

ps i had to edit after posting another 30 seconds to get back to here.
Thanks for highlighting this. I have checked against server (both web and db) performance for the time period 18:00 UTC to 18:08 UTC (based on the timing of this post) and the metrics I see don't suggest a problem with the servers themselves (relatively low CPU - some spikes on db, but that is normal - and memory usage well within physical memory settings) so I am puzzled at the moment. I need to collect some more data.

Regards,
Freddie

Maybe someone with issues could show a F12 network trace from their browser. Here is mine (cache disabled) for clicking the "Unread" posts button.

Bulk of the 2.41 secs was the initial search.php at 1.71 secs

Code: Select all

If you still want to use it for registrations but not for submitting a post then open /posting.php and find:
CODE: SELECT ALL

	// DNSBL check
	if ($config['check_dnsbl'] && !$refresh)
	{
		if (($dnsbl = $user->check_dnsbl('post')) !== false)
		{
			$error[] = sprintf($user->lang['IP_BLACKLISTED'], $user->ip, $dnsbl[1]);
		}
	}
that was in the link I provided. so if blacklisting is on it check for user registrations AND posts.

Ah okay thanks - I didn't read the article, I just knew that the setting was off. If that is the code in use then I will never turn it on :-)

OK, so that shows the delay is definitely in the server, 15 secs to process that initial request. Rules out routing/network etc.

Freddie, Do you have Sphinx Fulltext Search index installed?

https://wiki.phpbb.com/Sphinx_Fulltext_Search

might be worth installing it or re-running the indexing.

I have made some adjustments (more resources for both web and database server, and a change to the network topology between the two) and am currently assessing those changes. I tend to gradually tweak so I can understand the implications of each tweak.

The observation of slow logins and a difference in loading times (logged in v not logged in) is a tricky one to thrash out, as only some users experience this. It doesn't appear to be browser-specific (or even location-specific) so I'm still thinking hard about that aspect.

Thanks for your patience!
Freddie
