Server response issues when posting

Post by MWmetalhead » Thu Jul 04, 2019 10:39 am

Just wanted to drop you guys a note to let you know that I've witnessed a deterioration in server response time over the past couple weeks.

New posts are posting quickly, but the posting form isn't refreshing to show that the new post has been rendered.

I've submitted a support ticket to my web host and will continue to work to resolve this issue. I thank everyone in advance for your patience while I work to resolve this annoying issue.


Regards,

M.W.

I just tested it and it's a true server response issue. If you are using GoDaddy as your nameserver, that has been notoriously a problem. Consider moving your name service to your hosting company or to Google domains.

I've never used GoDaddy.

Response time seems much improved this afternoon, although I still encounter issues when creating a brand new thread.

I am in dialogue with my web hosting provider as we speak and they are in the middle of troubleshooting.

It seems better. Will continue to monitor and communicate with my hosting company as needed.

There are still issues intermittently; sorry folks. I'm troubleshooting this the best I can. I continue to play email tag with the tech support team at my hosting provider.

I've inserted some new code that should help out greatly with server response time.

Please let me know if server response time for submission of new posts (especially new topics) is better than before or about the same; thanks.

There is one more trick up my sleeve I haven't used yet only because it could cause the site to crash if the install & code change is botched. However, I'll resort to that option if server response time remains problematic.

I'm finding the site and server time to be very quick. MW, we appreciate your help in this. Thank you.

It appears the posting response issue is back... Just had a timeout from CloudFlare posting a reply in the Metro Detroit forum, although what I posted did show up (based on me reopening that section in a new tab).

Still working on this. Made further outreach to my hosting company yesterday. I will post further updates here. Thanks for your patience everyone.

Quick update: I've done everything I can do (short of completely disabling Cloudflare) and my hosting company has done everything it can do at this point to improve server response time when posting.

While I think complete disablement of Cloudflare would help greatly, it would make the Buzzboard far more vulnerable to outside attack. That's a risk I'm simply not wiling to take.

Server responsiveness isn't as poor as it was - so progress has been made. In the weeks ahead, I will continue to search for ways to further improve response time when posting.

Regards,

M.W.
