OK.. here is an update on site performance:

Our content delivery network (CDN) seems to be having problems delivering content.

For example. this is a link to some of our JS code on the CDN:

http://linux.unix.netdna-cdn.com/cli...etin_global.js

I have had trouble getting the CDN code above to work.

But when I go directly to that code bypassing the CDN, it works fine.

https://www.unix.com/clientscript/vbulletin_global.js

So, I have disabled most (I'm sure not all... ) of the CDN code, updated the templates and flushed the memcache...

So, as the cache rebuilds, lets see if we see any improvement in site performance.

Thanks!

Response from upper midwest

Hi.

From north-central USA via CenturyLink.

Response has been sluggish here for a few weeks, and just now it has taken 10-15 seconds to see a link.

Best wishes ... cheers, drl

PS And this post took more than 40 seconds to complete initially.

I check the network speed every morning. This morning it was just under 40 Mbps.

Hey

Hopefully it's better now.

Seems there was some corruption in the Database, and I ran some utilities to optimize and repair the db and it works much better now.

I think we may be "good to go!" now.

OK MY BAD....

Just optimized the db and the site is running fast again; so please remind me if the site "goes slow" again to optimize the db.

Thanks!

Yes, it's back to its usual response behaviour. Thank you!

Haha..

Next time anyone reports of a perceived slowdown, I'm running this command:

Code:
mysqlcheck -u<user> -p --optimize --databases <dbname>;

... before spending hours trying to find the problem LOL

Also, consider:

Code:
mysqlcheck -u <user> -p --auto-repair -c -o --databases <dbname>;

Couldn't this be done on a regular basis, e.g. weekly?
