Speed Of The Site

**China-Rising** · 15th July 2010

How are folks finding the speed of the site since moving hosts?

Is it running ok for people? any kind of slow downs at all?

I seem to be running at full speed and everything seems a lot faster and smoother since moving.

I guess things like this become very important when you are in charge of your own account and site, which is something those on Free hosts don't have to worry about. Well, unless the Free host goes out of business of course.

seems OK

edit - it took less than 3 seconds from pressing submit to seeing the reply so its all good on my end.

Seems good - tho i thought it had sped up after the server crash the other day as well.

Give it another couple of hours for peak time to kick in and we'll have a better idea..

Good stuff.

It's taken less than a second when I just hit reply to thread. It took around 2-2 1/2 seconds for the thread I replied to last to go through.

So it's much faster

i use a number of other forums that use this software / look' and if you think this place is slow... dont even bother going anywhere else

even those that use the old format can be slower than a dial up most times on some forums.

Got to agree with you there Puffa.

I'm a member of a few sites which use this software and they all seem painfully slow compared to what we have here. Here's one in particular. Great site, but very very slow:

MegaUploadFind.com Forums - Powered by vBulletin

I think it boils down to a few factors. The software and mods you have installed, but the most important factor is the speed of your server. If you are on a slow server, it can make things 10 times worse than what they should be.

It's worth pointing out here as well that the previous software we used, while a lot lighter and not as server intensive as this software, there are still a lot of sites which are just as slow. The software is only a small factor in the speed of a forum.
