Looks great, but is dreadfully dreadfully slow to load

I am working on the load issues tonight... that is a major problem. I am starting with deleting erroneous products, files and scripts. Hopefully that will open up some server load.

Any additional server load suggestions? I launch officially tomorrow and would hate to lose members based on this fact.

Yea i was going to say i am on some pretty quick internet and its taking up to 30 seconds to load a single page. It's most likly a problem with the server not the website itself. The website is very nice i love the theme *the ladies in the bannerr are beautiful xD*

Suggestions
Are there any real forums? I am unable to find the forums if there are any.
the breadcrumb is very squashed because of the ad. You might wanna try placing that add in a different spot.

I will check back on this thread tomorrow and see if you have the website loading fixed. As of now i am unable to load the pages at all.

Hellbomb, I really appreciate your input! I will probably make the banner smaller.. I am looking for the HACK that allows a BG image in the breadcrumb/Navbar area but cannot find it, it just looks so bland without someting there..

concerning the server issues, I do not have any server heavy mods or scripts on my site, I cleared up my files of erroneous DOC's yet the site still goes a bit slow.. so I will contact my host "GODADDY" tonight and see what the issue might be.

haha, yes there are real forums...The Forums are available through the navigation (see screenshot) "FORUMS" :) I will design a more visible link to the community however.

My site is currently down as I am getting the site ready for its official "GOLD" Launch tonight.. new splash page, updated header design.. and I was going to remove the girls (photos I took) but I recieved a lot of feedback on them, lol.. so they will remain.

Contacting GoDaddy now.

GoDaddy.. me too on one site of mine your stuck in slow motion I'm afraid they are the WORST for forums as they oversell waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay too much and they have no clue about vBulletin :(. If you have any other problems with them I might be able to help throw me a PM but your sites speed is not going to get better however if you find something else out and prove me wrong calling once where I have called over 20 times I will find you and hug you good sir :p but ironic their Godaddy girl commercials and statements about speed when your forums crawl like a snail but a plain old website w/ just info and graphics is fine. Also you do know they limit your database size to 200MB right? If not start keeping an eye on it O.o

Leave godaddy now...that will help a lot with the load issues.

concepts 10-21-2009 09:10 PM

haha, I called GoDaddy and they ran a speed test.. they said my sites speed was good, and they saw no potential problems.

then said they recommend I move to a "GRID" hosting, so where my site lags, the resources will be pulled from another hosting account. But I will basically have to start everything from scratch!!! and I cannot yet afford to move to a dedicated server!

Any recommendations as far as better hosting?

The only thing I can do now is convert my jpg's to PNG's where applicable.. thats honestly all I can think of.. and GZIP compression.

I appreciate all the thoughts/feedback..

Try hypedhosting.com. Thats what i have been using and my website loads very fast. As far as the postbit mod for the image you can just edit the postbit by and add the image on the background. BTW i LOVE your website :) Keep up the great work.

More tips.
Turn off the archives. It can have negetive effects on search engines search results.
Add a online radio.
The footer it kind of bla and all the copyrights are all grouped together, they can be easily changed to make it look alot neater.
Instead of on the bottom of the forums the little upcoming events add like a calander on the front page.
Could use some custom images for the icons for statistics and whats going on.
Since the forum is new turning off anvanced forum statistics would probably be good.
Get rid of the all albums link on the navbar, if you dont get rid of the mod all together. I found that is causes alot of bandwidth issues slowing down the website by a good ammount and alot of members dont even care for it. It also clogs up the nav bar.

what do you mean by this?

and I have taken alot of your tips into consideration! I am working on an online radio, also added a T.V channel.. somewhat "sO.Tv"

I saw a footer mod on here I will search for and utilize to clean the footer up a bit.
I removed the albums, you were right, noone really utilizes that at all. and it made a good improvement.

I removed alot of unused plugins, unused styles, etc.. so its helped a bit also. I really appreciate the feedback!

also looking for the custom images for the statistics section or just may design my own.
