Hi Guys, I just moved to a new server that's has much faster hardware, but is geographically much further from me. I noticed that when I click on the Notifications icon, the ensuing popup (see screenshot below) takes much longer to appear than it did on the old server. It takes a solid 4-5 seconds to appear. 

Does anyone know how to speed this up, or what cause this? 

 

It can only be it loading from the server itself. Note more resources doesn't necessarily mean it performs better. That is more down to the configuration of the server to use those resources in an efficient manner. Check your support area in the admin CP first of all, and see if anything is showing up in the mysql area. If there is, action that and test again. If not, it would likely be a case of tuning your mysql instance to speed it up

OK, thanks. Nothing recommended in Support area. 
I will work on MySQL. 

Hi @Marc Stridgen you nailed it. I just tuned mysql and now notifications is super quick. Thank you!
