Server Speed

Jump to: navigation, search

I hate to say it, but we could really do with a server upgrade - Jan and I have been working on the homepage all night and pages have been loading at a snails pace - sometimes 30 seconds to load a single page. Is this affordable for us to do?

Just a thought.

N.B. The server just crashed and we couldn't access it for ten minutes - idk if we crashed it by overusing the site, but we could definitely use an upgrade - kept getting redirected to the server gremlins.

Yeap, it's been pretty tragic these past few hours. In the last half-hour, I think we breached server-spacetime and let some warp-creatures in from the other dimension, so they'll be a danger to the 'Server Minions' for a while too.

But in all seriousness, hopefully this was a one-off caused by Vishnu or whoever, else we really would benefit off of having a more reliant and responsive server.

Cheers, Jan

I'd be happy to contribute a few squid towards better hosting, though I'm not suggesting we approach the NSA about renting out a wharehouse or anything :P

Amusing messages :D I will get this checked out. We are on a Linode 768 which should be very fast. It appears as if there was some kind of derp happening last night which caused massive CPU spike. You can see the graphs here: http://pcgamingwiki.com/munin/localdomain/localhost.localdomain/index.html

I'll get JRWR to investigate.
