My site is running incredibly slow. I spoke to someone at HostGator to see what the problem was and he told me he can't help without knowing what CMS were using. He also told me...

"The server is going slow because of the load. This script is using most of the resources the server has available. Over 20 processes and each one using about 8% CPU. I recommend some kind of optimization like a caching system."

I'm definitely not tech savvy but I could use any advice/help.

Thanks in advance.

Can I get some help here?

Eric Oct 3 '11

I doubt that.

I'm running the latest version of Oxwall v1.2.4 build 4230, and that runs very, very fast, precisely as the previous version I ran, v1.2.3.

What version of Oxwall are you running?

You'll find the version in the Admin Dashboard.

What do you doubt?

I have the newest software and I'm on a vps level 3. Even paid someone from oxwall to do the install. Has never been fast and now it's just extremely slow and times out.

please look in your config.php in /ow_includes if the Debug/Dev/Profiler Modes are with "false" deactivated. (the last entry's in the config.php)

@George: I doubt that Oxwall itself is the cause of your slow performance.
I run OW on shared webhosting and it screams.
I agree with Facetester.
Check your config files for enabled debug/development/profiling modes.
By what you describe, I get the sense that either MySQL is not configured for production mode, and/or that you lack any kind of caching in PHP.

@George: edit file config.php in folder /ow_includes, and check that the following statements are all set as shown below:

    define('OW_DEBUG_MODE', false);
    define('OW_DEV_MODE', false);
    define('OW_PROFILER_ENABLE', false);

Don't forget to save the file if you made changes.

Did you check this post on installing Oxwall on Hostgator??

George Oct 5 '11

HostGator is telling me the only way to correct it is to moving to VPS level 5, which instead of $40/month would cost me almost $80/month. I'm about to lose my mind!

50 users online is too much for shared account. Do you have Instant Chat plugin installed?

George Oct 6 '11

over 1000 members put some advertising on their make the users indirectly pay for the level 5 vps. Some CPA offers or adsense (adsense sucks) id recommend some CPA advertising. Find an offer related to your website advertise it with the ads plugin and you will easily be able to afford the new host.

I have hostgator, business plan shared hosting and it is fast and so far no complaints from my provider.

I also just signed up to your site to test and it seems fairly fast to me.
