TAMAN Posted October 18, 2015 Share Posted October 18, 2015 http://hellshammers.net/forum I updated to ips4 2 weeks ago since then my forum became so slow any idea why it loads slow or is there some settings or stuff to improve the speed? ips3 was totally fine and good.

Joel R Posted October 19, 2015 Share Posted October 19, 2015 I encourage you to deactivate all of your third-party applications and plugins. You can run various tools to measure what's taking so long: Google PageSpeed Yahoo YSlow GTMetrix @Adlago is especially good with this kind of stuff, so he might be able to help you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tracy Perry Posted October 19, 2015 Share Posted October 19, 2015 1 hour ago, MRniceGUY1990 said: it would be great thanks Big issues Browser caching (apparently your images are not cached) Combine images into a sprite sheet (in your case, the smilies for chat apparently primarily - which IPS does not natively support easily) You have a 3.4MB resized GIF image being served on the main page. You have a lot of emoticons being displayed on your main page being resized via CSS (some being displayed multiple times with multiple sends since there is no caching - plus having them in sprites would resolve some of this but IPS doesn't support sprites for the smiles easily - YAWP of IPS). Here is your site compared to my landing page (using Pages) and the forums index in GT Metrix https://gtmetrix.com/compare/RFotkAQe/f8JJqmhh/RIK2i2I3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm betting your site is running under Apache. If you are on a shared hosting, it should be a simple matter of some .htaccess entries. I use nginx myself and run my own server. Something like ## EXPIRES CACHING ## <IfModule mod_expires.c> ExpiresActive On ExpiresByType image/jpg "access 1 year" ExpiresByType image/jpeg "access 1 year" ExpiresByType image/gif "access 1 year" ExpiresByType image/png "access 1 year" ExpiresByType text/css "access 1 month" ExpiresByType text/x-javascript "access 1 month" ExpiresDefault "access 2 days" </IfModule> ## EXPIRES CACHING ## in your htaccess will help with the expires/caching issue. The upgrading had nothing really to do with it... other than probably some display differences. The caching is a server (HTTP) issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tarun Posted October 19, 2015 Share Posted October 19, 2015 You could also try the htaccess I've provided. It has a lot of optimizations that work very well for any browsing member. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GriefCode Posted October 20, 2015 Share Posted October 20, 2015 Another option would be using a precache system, like cloudflare. In order to avoid any confusion for other new people who join here, and might now think they need a better server, i shortly explain why this: 9 hours ago, Afternova said: MariaDB + Memcached + SSD + 1Gbit/s + .htaccess configuration is only a half true statement (no offence, just the facts). Memcached? Is only for the guest session as its mentioned in the setting. Having massive active members will still create a lot queries. SSD? You dont' have IO issues on a web application (normally :P), so the actual speed will stay the same, since most containers/root servers have a RAID 10. 1 GBit/s? Uhm...yea, totally not important for your page speed. The connection reflects the maximum transfere rate of your server and is mainly interesting for people who provide downloads or cdn (or like gameservers, download content which is required to play). But has actually nothing todo with the page speed generally. More interesting is the guaranteed bandwidth of your server and the total requests. And that won't affect you as long as you don't have ~500+ active users. Regards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
