FN-GM Posted July 3, 2008 Posted July 3, 2008 (edited) Hi I have uploaded my website onto the main webserver but its running slow. The server is a good spec and the internet connection is pretty decent. How can i speed it up please? Thanks Edited August 22, 2008 by FN-Greatermanchester
FN-GM Posted July 3, 2008 Author Posted July 3, 2008 Apart from the obvious of defraging the drive The server is a brand new install, only did it yesterday. From here you can enable the GZIP Page Compression, this made a difference on the site I maintain. On the system tab you can also enable the cache, since as default I think its disabled. I will try that tomorrow but now I’m off to bed, thanks.
flashsnaps Posted July 4, 2008 Posted July 4, 2008 Did you do all the site in Joomla? Looks impressive!
Sheepy Posted July 4, 2008 Posted July 4, 2008 Site is running very slow for me this morning... it is very nice but isnt it the edugeek template ?
Jona Posted July 4, 2008 Posted July 4, 2008 It's a very bizzare type of slow loading because it takes ages thinking then all of a sudden loads. Have you checked you haven't got a DNS/firewall issue or something of that nature? These tips: Performance - MoodleDocs are in relation to moodle but a lot of them can be applied to a generic lamp or wamp stack. Cheers Jona

Yep thats why its in this forum What config you using as your webserver? What do you mean please? It's a very bizzare type of slow loading because it takes ages thinking then all of a sudden loads.

Cheers Jona HTML documents seem to load quickly, so im not sure it is something of that nature.
FN-GM Posted July 4, 2008 Author Posted July 4, 2008 Sorry Its a Windows Server 2003 R2 server using Apache2Triad
FN-GM Posted July 4, 2008 Author Posted July 4, 2008 Another school up the road (also a member of this forum) has used apache2triad for a while without slowness. What package for windows do you recommend?
tomscaper Posted July 4, 2008 Posted July 4, 2008 try the wamp package. Also on another note, site looks very good, nice touch on picture of all the staff.

I think the best of the packages as sysman says is xampp but I would strongly recommend for a production site that you install mysql, apache and php from scratch yourself.
DMcCoy Posted July 4, 2008 Posted July 4, 2008 I have found php to be much faster on linux/unix even when using it with up to date versions of apache2. Even in a linux VM it can be quicker at some php functions I believe.
FN-GM Posted July 4, 2008 Author Posted July 4, 2008 Been using XAMPP when i need to. I have done that, its still slow I have found php to be much faster on linux/unix even when using it with up to date versions of apache2. Even in a linux VM it can be quicker at some php functions I believe. I wouldn't know where to start
FN-GM Posted July 4, 2008 Author Posted July 4, 2008 From Admin Page, goto Site, Global configuration,server From here you can enable the GZIP Page Compression, this made a difference on the site I maintain. On the system tab you can also enable the cache, since as default I think its disabled. To be honest, its loading ok for me. But at this time I suspect its running at its best. Just tried this and no change
FN-GM Posted July 6, 2008 Author Posted July 6, 2008 Just going to Bump this a little Could it be something to do with the site it self? Or more of the technical setup? Eg the connection to the server?
