You have NO idea what your actual load is, you have only the host claiming you are creating high demand. You are not. vBulletin is NOT server intensive. However some add-ons such as chat boxes for example, can create high CPU loading.

Additionally, allowing these MASSIVE animated GIFs in signatures is a poor performance practice. Just looking at this thread here on your board, my browser tried to freeze up with all the GIF load. That page loads 8.8 MEGAbytes on browsers. Here is the breakdown:

You can't be allowing these massive GIF images in signatures. The FOUR of them contained in your Moderator "Bunny" signature alone represents 4 megabytes. "sweet-princess" signature image is 1.7 megabytes all by itself.

Native vBulletin pageload is well under 1 megabyte, runs 350kb or so.

Making matters worse, these are third party calls to tumblr, tinypic and photobucket, which means your Cloud Flare is ignoring these.

You simply have to do away with the massive animated GIF images in signatures if you want to see improvement in the showthread.php pages. It doesn't matter what host you have, with this amount of megabytes.

Thanks alot for your expensive time and help me to sort out the issue i have made announcement there to remove all gif images from their signature. i have one question CF is blocking ddos attacks so what i use in alternate to stop attacks?
