Hi guys,  only 4 members,  the site is not live... or popular, still adding content. 

I have a shared hosting plan but it is still well below any traffic that would cause an issue. 


But im not sure how to take the site out of "development mode"   that could be the issue.


How do I do that?

Thanks for you tips.... The site was still in developer mode.   I figured out how to take it out but found little documentation on this.  "I am new to the software"   im still learning, but I knew what I was experiencing was far more than just basic site lag.

Oxwall has problem of calling every css and js of every plugin on every page that does not even have anything to do with the plugin


So the more plugins you have the slower every page is and the more db calls for every page


Tune sql helps but when u have lots plugins gets to much


The more friends you have and the more you use the site gets slower and slower to the point its inposable to use the site


Try an account with 5 friends lots plugins page loads say 4 seconds if you have good server setup 10 if bad 

Then at 2000 friends then turns that to 35seconds for good server set up and over one minute for bad setup
