Posting is Slow


Recommended Posts

Posted

We recently started noting that our Car Community is getting slower and slowr in posting new topics and post. Load time is fine, reading the posts and topic is also fine even from the oldest lot.

It has reached to about 5-6 seconds wait for every post. Editing same post is instant. Any help...?

You need to give us more info. OS, PHP Version, Mysql version and the output of mysqltuner.

PS: Check if you don't have any kind of problem with your email setting in the ACP.

How many users are following these forums? I've seen some sites that take over 30 seconds to post a topic because a forum has 100 followers. IPB is sending out 100 notifications... one at a time.

Thanks guys for heads up, will definitively explore this point.

Wondering if I there is any setting where IPB wait for 1 second to post first and then take action to send 10/100/1000 followers emails.....!

Yeah, ideally the email sending would be asynchronously performed, but it isn't. I think the best thing to do is to set up an SMTP server and not use php mail(). An SMTP server should accept the mail rather quickly, queue it up for sending, etc.

​based on my experience, it doesn't really matter. The site I was working on was using SMTP.

I agree with headstand, as I am using SMTP server and not phpmail and still experiencing server lag in posting upto 5-10 seconds at times.

Well I am still at 3.4.6. and afraid to upgrade due to lot of customization.

​3.4.7 is the latest 3 series version. Why not upgrade to that? Your mods and customizations will still work. You'll then have the benefit of the bug fixes.

​To my knowledge this is still an issue in 3.4.7.

What MTA are people with this problem having?  While I did have to buy a book on it, I've found Postfix to be by far the easiest to tweak.  If anyone is still using sendmail, ditch it.

If you're running Debian and using the default exim4-daemon-light package, you need to swap it out for exim4-daemon-heavy or another MTA.
