Mympxplayer site not responding/slow
 

Is it me, my location (Europe) or the site, dead slow, most of the time not available? It's Christmas, family is gone, I'm bored!

Que, No it's the same this side of the world as well, The site seems to be alot busier than normal. I notice the "most users ever online at once" has risen from 100 to 157.
Hope it is not due to dead or hacked Christmas presents :(

Hi Que,

Yeh, it's slow for me too (same location as tadad).

I have got Webair to take a look at it as they are hosting the dedicated server.

Not sure why, users online is a lot more than usual, but it shouldn't affect it that much.

it's exceptionally slow.. something seems to be going on...

In Colombia the site is not responsive and exremidly slow, and trying from my work's net (they go to internet by tewsbury USA) is equal

Yea, slow for me too... I think if you live where the Dedi Server is located it will be faster.

Hopefully it's alittle better now.
Not too sure why it suddenly happened. I have a feeling that Googlebots are trying to crawl the site heaps as well. I've slowed them down, so hopefully the site will run alittle better.

I'm getting the confirguation of the server changed to make it run faster as well. Hopefully you will see more improvements in the coming weeks.

Thanks eveyone for their patience.

Has anyone noticed any improvements to the site in the last 2-3 days?

i have been a "guest" for about the past month and only registered about a week or so ago.

i have noticed that it is ok most of the time, but there are still times that the site has become painfully slow to the point i go visit some other site and come back later in the day

Still slow for me, but as usual, nothing exceptional. :P

Btw, i noticed the pages are generated using a ton of SQL queries. Maybe your forum code is buggy? I tend to think that, because the server responds pretty quickly to pings.

Always slow for me Admin, but worth waiting for, although there are quite a few occasions when IE times out. When that does happen once, it tends to happen a lot, so I tend to give up and come back later. Probably the slowest forum I am on.

For me it seem better than before the last data crash, at least I don't get error message, site not responding :P

I haven't had any problems in the last couple of weeks. 8)

Seems to be running better for me now as well. ;)

Thanks for your feedback guys.
Hopefully it will improve.
I am also in the process of finding another system to run the site. The difficult bit is migrating the data across. But I'm keeping my fingers cross that the site is running faster now.

I haven't logged in here for quite some time. This was because of the terrible loading times I experienced. Pages would take ages to load up. It's still a bit slow for me today, but I'm at work and thought I'd drop by again for a visit.

Hi everyone,

After spending the last 4-5 days trying to find out WHY the site has been running really slow, I did some research, made some tweaks and with the help of Webair, hopefully has improved the performance of this site now.

I'm starting to notice it loads up a lot quicker. Would like to hear your feedback on this and whether the loading of the site has improved in the last few days - whether you all have found the site performing more better or pretty much still the same?

what happened to the automatic login? wheres it gone?

i gotta no prob. with mympxplayer.org

keep it up admin

Hi geostar,

In an effect to find the cause of the slowness with MyMPxPlayer.org, I have disabled the "automatica logon" option. This is only temporary while I try to find the cause. It should be back up in a few days as I suspect it's not the cause of the slowness but I'm looking at every avenue.

The site runs quite nicely now, but some stuff is missing, like the ads and profile infos on the left panel.

Hi everyone,

I would like to bring this topic back up again as I've been experiencing some 'slowness' on this site.

However, after some investigation by my web hosting company, Webair, I think it was due to people trying to bring down MyMpxPlayer.org by DOS attacks. Hopefully what has now been implemented on the server should stop it.....

Please let me know if you experience some long periods (more than two mins) or slowness on the site.

If anything it's even slower now!

Really?
Is this every day? Or just sometimes?

No it was just yesterday. It seems ok today. :wink:

Yeh, the site is taking a hit from hackers trying DOS attacks to essentially try to shut down server. I don't know why as it's not like we're a huge commerical or political site of any benefit for any hackers? It annoys me that they're doing this. Hopefully they'll just give up and stop once they see it will keep dropping them.....?
