What kind of picture can put a strength to (an eventually overload) a server?
What kind of picture can put a strength on the server?
1 attachments 2 inline pictures brought from another site (with the other site properties) 3 uploaded pics from sites like Tynipics etc Or any other that I may forget now. Thank you very much. |

Only #1 will increase your load dramatically. The second two simply tell the user's browser to "Go ask these sites for the information", which uses only the text to render a post, essentially. All of the bandwidth load would be put on the hotlinked sites (image leeching).
Are you trying to load test the server, or reduce server load? |

I'm trying to cut anything that can put an overload on the server I'm hosted at. They closed my site this week for almost three days b/c of a cpu at 90%, server overload. I did took some plugins/mods off, the site hasn't being closed again but is really slow, I want to cut anything that may be a strength to the server but honestly I don't know what else to do. See thread:
Problems with trhee scripts Thank you for your answer, now I know what type of pictures are "good" and what aren't, if you have any idea on other things I can do let me know, you or anyone else. Thanks. |

I'd SWAG too many/too big attachments stored in database, and/or attachment enhancement add-ons.
ASSUMING This is a Small/Mid-Sized forum (< 50 active users at the same time) In AdminCP -> vB Options -> Message Attachment Options
Another possible option to check would be setting *NIX Load Limit to something stupid low, like 0.9, so if it pegs out, it won't get your service shut off. I run a dedicated server for just the forums, it runs at about 0.15 - 0.30 on average with around 30-50 active users. Getting vbulletin alone to fill the process queue above 1 continually for more than a small/midsized forum should need tasks like backup/table repair/etc. (or some add-ons/products...) If you have hundreds of users online, then it's a bit easier to get the load up pretty quick, it depends on the server processor and storage(disk) speed, as well as how many others are using the server (if using shared hosting, which it sounds like you are). In control panel home, you see the load level averages right above "quick user finder", add 0.3 to whatever the value is when your forum is disabled for a 'quick fuse overload stop', then you can troubleshoot with a helpful hosting company for which threads/scripts are killing it. A load level of 1 is max 'realtime running' on a single processor, 2 is max for a dual processor, etc. Once the forum is up and running, work with your hosting provider as you enable/increase each item you changed, and see which one causes it to push the load level continually up. Disabling attachments completely and hosting images elsewhere sounds like it would completely fix your issue. Hope this helps! I'll try to check back... |
