Veeeeeeeery sloooooooooow page - Please help!

[southbeach]

Trying to publish a page

http://www.clublazen.com

This is set on a WAMP environment on a WIN-2K3, Apache 2.2 and PHP 5.3 with MySQL 5.1.36

Using AT&T 16Mbps ADSL - Server has 4GB RAM and 750MB HD

Locally, page resolves reasonably fast but over the WWW, it takes so long I can drive to China and back (if it were possible) before page loads.

I cannot find the root cause. I have looked at various log files. Other than some deprecated PHP functions, I cannot see anything out of the ordinary.

On my development box, it flies.

Same page could be viewed here

What must I look for?

Thank you all for your assistance!

I can't ping your server. Is your firewall blocking http connections?

 

[southbeach]

No, it is not ... I am not on location and it appears that I have had a power outage since nothing seems to connect now.

Facility was getting some AC and Fire Inspections done so it is possible that they turned power ON/OFF a couple of times and possibly isolating server due to "no power" - Timing is everything in life!

I will double check and make sure I am not blocking HTTP requests.

Thanks,

If you have a router, you may also want to make sure that you are port fowarding all http (port 80) traffic to the lan ip address of the server.

You may also want to run a speed check, such as those offered at DSLreports to determine the upload versus download speed of your link. A 16 Mbps DSL line is undoubtedly the download speed. The upload speed is probably more like 128K or 256K bps.

You should also look at the size of the content you are delivering. If you have large pictures, these will slow you down considerably.

Nothing is connecting as far as web site stuff, or you now have no E-mail or any other functions accessible (if you're doing that stuff)??

If it is just web stuff and you can connect to the box you might want to login remotely and fire up task manager to see if httpd is running. If the computer went down and up it's possible it didn't load automatically for some reason, or the server is sitting there with some prompt on the screen waiting for someone to hit the OK button.... or for that matter, I'm from AT&T-land and someone may just have to shut your router/point of access to the internet off for 5 minutes and then turn it back up - if the outage was fast enough the "world" doesn't always have time to resynchronize itself.

Well, I have it running much better now. The initial load is a bit slow due to the flash movies I load but once cached, the site moves faster ...

The server I am using is just a web server, no other tasks are assigned/running ... other than the normal stuff ...

I think I have to work out the number of nodes loaded per page submission to make sure that only those applicable to the page itself are loaded thus not overworking it for things that are not needed at that time.

Thanks,
