Site Speed Issues
Gang,
I'm aware of it. I need to get in touch with our host. It looks to be server related, but I need to confirm with them. I see an insane load average. Doesn't appear to be from us though.
Our database also needs some trimming, I'll have to get with Christian on that. But it will be coming.
I'll try to keep you guys updated. In the meantime, since much of the server is out of my control, I'm afraid you'll have to live with the speeed issues for now.
--sk0t

Just a guess, but I would say to cut loose some old Threads. I mean come on how many "will these tires fit" threads do we need?

its been DNS before, it makes no sense at all because it works fine at work and school, at home it does not. i cant even ping the dang thing... if it was the server you still should beable to ping the thing.
i could care less anyway...

not necessarily. if the server is bogged down or busy, it wont even respond to your ping or any other requests. that is why it is either the connection to the server or the server itself. if it were my server, i would first contact the the hosting company and figure out what is going on. thats just me though.
vbulletin doesnt bog down a server. its php. php is the fastest processed web programming language there is. thats why its so widely used and why its so awesome. the only way it will get bogged down is the reason stated earlier. there are more sites this rf on one server. its how they make their money. but the hosting company needs to take care of it in order for the rest to operate properly.

go to https://www.ranger-forums.com
pops right up right? thats cuz its strictly html...
now when you try to make the initial connection to the forums... (https://www.ranger-forums.com/forum2/home.php) thats what screws you up.

we think we've figured out alot of the problem.
sk0t and michael are working hard, behind the scenes with the server and database.

Does the speed seem better now?, if not I can keep looking into this issue but as far as I am aware it is alot better than when I was on earlier today, feedback would be appreciated.
