My board is not big actively, If anything 5-10 users, I' get the problem a lot when I'm online myself. I've disabled the plug-ins and got some feedback and tested it myself, The browsing was a little faster but nothing brilliant > Due to less queries I imagine. My host Servage have confirmed that the routing is fine and no problems they are aware of.

I've always said it's the database but I really need to find out this problem and sort it, I'm losing a lot of activity and when I already don't have much then it's a big concern.

A little more in detail to understand, Whats happening for me is this:
I click on my forum within my favourites, it then takes around 10+ seconds to find the site and load, if i surf the site straight away there is no problem and things load faster, but, if i hesitate on a page [make a post] for too long then it takes a long time for the page to load.

Bookmarks link -OR- Post Submit > wait, wait some more, and a little more..> then bang - "a" page loads [blank or otherwise] > The URL of the location only ever comes up when the page is "found" [again blank or otherwise]. As I said some times when the response is very slow and the page doesn't even load a Databse Error does Appear.

The state of the database should not affect response times from the domain, if the database was the problem we would see the same problem replicated throughout the site but it's not always there.

Here's what I think the delay seems to be coming from:
browser > response.....long wait...... > content > browser
instead of:
browser > response > content ....[hypothetical wait if database is problem]....> browser.

Database would probably Imply the page loads slowly, but it's the response which is slow, then page itself loads fairly quickly.

A little confusing, Sorry.

Much Appreciated, I hope you can help.

Thanks,
