Vbulletin 4 with Nginx performance

[fxdigi-cash]

Good day everyone,

I hope at first that everyone is doing great in his/her life!

well as you know this issue we have mostly among those who own their own dedicated server or VPS, and some hosting companies as well may provide such web server 'Nginx'.

what I want to discuss is vbulletin 4 on Nginx and far you got with both working together since vb board version 4 is somehow heavy compared to vb v.3

my question is how do you rate your vb4 on Nginx especially when it comes to browsing? how fast is it? if you measure your board speed on some online measuring tools such as tools.pingdom.com or www.webpagetest.org or even google insight... how bad or good is it?

I have been trying a lot of testing lately to see how fast and powerful it can go since I found some sites could achieve 1 sec page load speed using vb3 with Nginx when browsing any of their pages.

what about Time to first byte TTFB? how good is that?

As for me, I use vbulletin 4 on Nginx using php5-fpm with memcached enabled and the speed is at some level slow ranging between 1.5 sec to sec 2.3, and of course using Cloudflare to reduce latency and bandwidth as well as caching static files.

Still I have an issue with TTFB = 1.233 sec .... this is very bad for TTFB, not sure what causes that anyways!!

you are welcome to share your experience!! :up:
