The Joomla! Forum ™

Hello,
My Mambo website is getting very slow. I've already compressed my css files (both user and admin), according to a post in the other forum. It helped, but is still to slow. The mambo version is 4.5.2.3.

If you want to take a look, the site is in http://www.propme.org.br/Mambo.
Just to prove that the problem is not the server, you can access the old site in http://www.propme.org.br/ and see that it is much faster.

By now it is so slow that sometimes I get the "Site Offline" screen. Any help would be apreciate.
Thanks,
ALan

I know the other site is pretty fast, but it is just html correct?  The reason I ask is because using php and mysql uses alot more resources than plain html and the server could be overloaded already, therefore causing the slowdown.

Also do you have any stats components working (either the default mambo one or tfs) as this could also slow down loading of your site.

I've been trying to figure out what causes this for some time now. I have 10 sites running off the same server and on occasions it can take exactly 12 secs for the home page to render but on other machines or browsers it takes 4 seconds. No rhyme or reason for it that I've figured.

Yours is definitely slow but in your case it looks like it the contacting of the server that's taking the most time not the rendering of the page as I see it trying to contact http://www.propme.org.br for the longest time. I tried pinging the address and it also too a long time so looks like a server or configuration issue.

You need to chek with your server administrator there is a definire redirect to a seperate DNS record http://host261dnx.plugin.com.br/Mambo/ the redirect and new dns lookup is causing the delay. The Mambo installation runs at the same speed on both installations. Call your server administrator.

with me your page is loading fast, no problems.
maybe you activate the cache.
tip:
make a trace from your location, to check where is the problem.
open the DOSbox in windows and enter the line:
C:\>tracert -d http://www.propme.org.br/Mambo.

I got the redirect too

http://host261dnx.plugin.com.br/Mambo

very slow.

Do you want the answer to be as vague as your question?

http://www.propme.org.br/ is not a mambo site index.php does not exist! I don't get the redirect anymore to your host subdomain, but of cource it will be slower Mambo has to connect to a database server and process allot of PHP try to be a little more clear the next time you are comparing raw html to somhing compleatly diffrent.

I counted under my breath about 7 seconds for everything to load up properly. I do have this problem too sometimes with the mambo site - although at other times it loads almost like lightening.

(Unavailable end of Sept/start of Oct)

Using Firefox's live headers feature - I got a 301 permanent redirect to the same url originally requested.
Or so I thought. That threw me for a second - then I realised you were missing a trailing slash from the end of the url.
That explains the redirect. The urls didn't match exactly - I was being redirected to the folder /Mambo/ rather than the a file /Mambo

Other than that minor issue - the site loaded in 3 or 4 seconds - on 1Mb broadband.

There are three major DNS Domain Name Servers that you can switch to. The advantage is the fact that your Host is some where near Brazil if I'am correct (By the way I Hope you not paying $24.00/mo. there are better hosts here in the United States, go to my site http://zendatasystems.com and check out one of my client hosts ServerLogistic, Aaron the President has a 10,000 SqFt Carriar Class Facility with secure mail, SSH secure shell, and SFTP, Basic starts at 9.95mo. you gan fin less expensive but I have never found a host yet that has such excellent customer service, not to mention shared servers are running on Dual 3.5Ghz Xserves and Mac's run at a interbus speed of 128bits compared to your standard PC that is stuck with a 64bit internal bus, also Arron is a great guy to work with.) Dynamic DNS as a free service if you have either dynamic IP that I use for the Mambo Installed on my Mac, and a Paid service with four globally poitioned DNS servers you still use you existing host but the DNS records are stored at Dynamic DNS. This ensures your registered domain name will always resovle. You Host might be brokering another Hosts services this happens often call them resellers if you like. But Considering were you are located in the world you may be too far from one of the major internet backbones and it just takes a little longer for the UDP multicast to reach your your Host's or country's primary DNS server.

You can also try this considering that you most likley testing form you ISP run a search for public proxy servers and reconfigure your browser to connect through the proxy subtract about 1.2 seconds for the HTTP relay but this might help you determin if you ISP has too many clients bottlenecking through a border router. Practally all ISPs use DHCP Dynamic Host Configuration Protocal that maps your external port to one of its external ports like 333465>567900 for example; it the maps a randomly generated IP address that is not in use by one of its clients to your incomming port 567900 and assigns and assigns the IP address to that port table and sends you the IP address. When a request comes back from a host from its external IP, not yours it  just revese maps off its table and 'knows' where to send the packets to. READ about NAT servers to get a better Idea of what I am going into detail about, I left a few steps out for simplicity. By using the proxy you can  bypass your ISPs border router, where I refer to In a previous post. I know of people that their old routers caught fire! the newer router's can handle the BGP if I am correct routing tables a maintain upto the second internal tables on the best paths through the public internet. The older routers are configured manually an my not be updating if there is know outages or bottlenecks on the net. That's way I said run a trace route.

Hi, I see your webpage quite fine... I happens also to me that sometimes my webpage is faster than others... I think you should contact you server administrator. Hope it helps... :-)
