this is the slowest website in the history of the internet

Wait wait where did the 50 replies per page setting go? Why did you get rid of it??

[Trovaner]

Turning it off reduces the amount of load on the server and it allows for the server to cache things better. I was very hesitant to disable it but you guys keep telling me that you want GTM to run faster.

[Badnik96]

I was fine with it...

[playzooki]

With what?
If you mean the page speeds, most of us arent.

[Badnik96]

That's what I meant...

[Trovaner]

The problem is that you are not just affecting yourself. Everyone gets impacted by the actions of everyone else. That's why when someone uploads a big file, the forum seems to slow down.

[playzooki]

Yeah, its not just local. I think we should have a file size limit

I'm not having any problems

I'm fine as well.

500s and 503s everywhere.

[Trovaner]

503's are related to the server load and my custom error document for it probably wasn't helping matters (so we're using my low-bandwidth version now). If the problem persists let me know.

As for the 500 errors, please give me the information that the error document is giving you and explain what you are doing differently (if anything).

[playzooki]

I got a 503 but i couldnt paste it because of my phone

[Trovaner]

That's okay. The information that it gives you for the 503 errors is not unique to your session. That is to say, I already know the server load is excessively high and what you were doing doesn't really matter much for them. I'll continue to work on it, though.

I did notice, however, that switching to the low-bandwidth version made a huge difference in the number of 503 errors being handed out. I'll look into making SMF (a likely culprit) more efficient later today.

[Trovaner]

I did a few things that I think should help with the 503 errors. If you see any, please let me know and I'll look into doing more.

In the process of reducing the server load, I also made the forum slightly faster. The accumulation of all my changes may even be noticeable for some of you.

Tomorrow or later tonight, I'll look into fixing that ridiculously irritating formatting that SMF likes to insert into posts when the formatted view is enabled.

[Merrick]

It definitely does seem faster.

Nice work, Trov.

Slow?
I sense no slowness here.

Please stop bumping old threads, there is a reason why no one posted on them for over four months.
