Post subject: Very Slow Site
My site is running extreamly slow. My main page is News and it is taking 44 seconds to load.
Anyone know what might be going on?

Maybe an answer to my own question... I had about 1400 autolinks... I removed all but 5 and the site seemed to improve drastically... now it only takes about 3.354527 Seconds to load.

I have that option enabled... doesn't it just show you the time it takes to render the a page? That is where I got the 44 second figure. Or are there more options somewhere when it is enabled?
I'm on a linux server... is there a *nix equivalant to winmtr
The server was freshly built about 2 months ago and a fresh install of MDPro also.
The slowness only happens on the front page which displays nesws stories.
Is there a way to limit the number of stories it has to lookup in the DB? Not the number that displays on the main page but the number it goes looks up while trying to render the page?
I have 2600 stories... Only about 50 or so are flagged to display on the main page.

Please post here a link to your site, so we can see directly.
It is taking about 7-8 seconds now but yesterday it was up to 44

ouff your site is very slow, check your logs file, check permissions in cache directory, try to disable all blocks in your home page and then if all work great you can reactivate your blocks one at time to found witch block can cause your problem, try also to check your permssions, restore original permissions and check what happen

The cache dir is
drwxrwxr-- 3 nobody nogroup 4096 2006-07-19 08:50 cache/
I tried disabling all the blocks... the colprit seems to be the NEWS block.

I guess I used the wrong words..... I'm referring to "News stories"... that appear on the main page.... It is in the settings. "Start page" = News
Even just looking at a specific topic it seems to take a long time. Some are longer than others...
Will these permissions cause it to slow down... strange thing is, not all topics take a long time.

Please, can someone assist me with this issue? It is taking from 5-9 seconds for my site to load.
I have removed any special permissions on the site and that doesn't help. It is the main page and when you view a most recent Topic where it shows all articles in that topic that is slow.
All the other links on the site load in under 1 second.

Hello Jag,
Thanks for reporting the login problem! Also, I don't think they are ignoring you here. Most likely they are looking at and working with the code and trying to see if they need to fix it and will get back to you as soon as they figure it out. They are very good at that here, but sometimes you don't get an answer right away while they are working it out. Be patient and I'm sure they will get with you as soon as they can. I would help you if I could but I don't know what could be causing it either.

we can't answer because to know what is the problem someone need to check the server, check logs, db etc ... Page created in 6.422664 Seconds ...... this is very long and this is the time needed to your server to create your home page, I already told you to resolve your problem you MUST remove all from your home page, with all I mean ALL included all blocks, scripts, urchin stats etc .... then start to add all thing one at time and check what happen, the News module itself can't make your site so slow.
You need also to check your error logs, and/or maybe also your database maybe some tables are corrupted
