ChrisVanMeer Posted January 12, 2018 Posted January 12, 2018 Just upgraded the forum to 4.2.7. My experience is that it's a lot slower now than 4.2.6. Does anyone else has the same issue?
Adlago Posted January 12, 2018 Posted January 12, 2018 4.2.7 works fast for me - I have no difference in speed loading site. There is even a slight improvement in performance. You check for up-to-date versions of your theme and plugins from 3rd Party - it is possible that your delay is one of them. I think version 4.2.7 is a good release.
ChrisVanMeer Posted January 12, 2018 Author Posted January 12, 2018 I disabled all plugins, caches were cleared...no performance difference
Adlago Posted January 12, 2018 Posted January 12, 2018 If you put a link to your site, I can test you and write a few tips.
Adlago Posted January 12, 2018 Posted January 12, 2018 You can improve speed loading site if - improve Leverage browser caching - for your images, add expiration time to your htaccess file. - optimize your images - see this test https://webspeedtest.cloudinary.com/results/180112_E5_2ee566190795783cd73a3719ea39e427
ChrisVanMeer Posted January 12, 2018 Author Posted January 12, 2018 Ok, but then something has changed after upgrade. Same images.
Adlago Posted January 12, 2018 Posted January 12, 2018 Images can not be affected by an upgrade. Upgrading, in addition to software changes, removes a cache site. It is possible that your cache images had other parameters.

No. And I doubt there even is a general issue with this version, since it was just a bug fix release. Nothing substantial should have been changed. But nevertheless, I would say there IS something wrong with your site. I am getting first byte times for well over a second for simple forum pages (listings/topics). That shouldn’t be the case. But it’s impossible to know what the cause might be from just looking the site.
NovaRO Posted January 13, 2018 Posted January 13, 2018 Definitely feeling a slow-down that wasn't there before.
Nathan Explosion Posted January 13, 2018 Posted January 13, 2018 Note: this is not me seeing that the problem is not IPS 4.2.7 Please keep in mind that the software patches for the Meltdown and Spectre vulnerabilities may have also been installed on your servers, either by your host or yourself or your server panel software, and due to them being software patches then there is a possibility that a performance impact could be felt. Again, this is not me seeing that the problem is not IPS 4.2.7 but just putting this out there for people to keep in mind if/when people dig down in to their pre/post upgrade performance data (if they actually have any for pre/post comparisons)
NovaRO Posted January 13, 2018 Posted January 13, 2018 The slow-down took effect immediately after applying the upgrade, I doubt I timed it that well, but I'll keep it in mind and investigate more thoroughly.

I have logged a support ticket, hopefully they can find out what's causing it. It used to be click - bam...there's the page...now it's click...wait for it...there it comes...there.
RevengeFNF Posted January 13, 2018 Posted January 13, 2018 No performance issues here after the upgrade to 4.2.7.
ChrisVanMeer Posted January 14, 2018 Author Posted January 14, 2018 Support couldn't find anything wrong, plus they can't find any slowness on the forum. Then I suppose it must be a freak incident that my hosting provider must have installed updates that causes the slowdown. I can't get a comment of them yet (InMotion Hosting).
Morgin Posted January 15, 2018 Posted January 15, 2018 FWIW, you did actually pretty much to the day post when the spectre/meltdown patches were rolling out

ChrisVanMeer Posted January 15, 2018 Author Posted January 15, 2018 @Adlago Hmm strange, I have disabled the ad for now...can you verify the error is gone?

ChrisVanMeer Posted January 15, 2018 Author Posted January 15, 2018 Weird, maybe something was changed in the add settings? I had the ad at both header and footer...so the error Only one enable_page_level_ads allowed per page triggered me. Edit: I have changed the settings and re-enabled the ad.
media Posted January 15, 2018 Posted January 15, 2018 @ChrisVanMeer I totally understand you. You are comparing 4.2.6 and 4.2.7 as running on same environment. There is no changes what so ever, but you think 4.2.7 is slower... I constantly check on my board and I can say that I do not see any difference between 2 version .6 and .7
ChrisVanMeer Posted February 2, 2018 Author Posted February 2, 2018 Just to let you guys know...I moved to another hosting provider and now the score at dareboost is 77%. Plus - what is more important - in my perspective, the performance increased significantly!
