Seems to be some problems on pages with huge images that the server is resizing and sending. I'll check this out.

I've encountered extremely slow load times today, so I will make this a priority!

Please be patient while we sort this problem out.

Have you considered a cashing proxy in front of the main web server? I know a few projects that had the same problems running large database based websites with a lot of hits.

nginx seems to be the solution. It caches sites and pictures that are loaded at a high frequency so the webserver can concentrate on more important stuff.

Nginx is good for static content. Not so good for things as dynamic as this site. You're right though. Under the correct circumstances, nginx is a screamer.

Caching is a good idea though. Perhaps Memcached.

I'll bet there's performance to be had with existing software, if I could only get my hands on their instance of MySQL and Apache. Doh!

You can't login on an IPSec proxy anymore, even a very fast one. That's new in the past 2 weeks.

edit add - logins are working for me again, and quite fast. something has changed.

You will know when I finally am working on this problem because the first thing I will do is correct the server time! I still have no access, but hopefully soon.

Well I just made a change to the site. Please let me know if the speed of icmag has improved or stayed the same or got worse for you now.

The server time is correct now, too... :)

It was moving like a snail, but that was right after I got a message that said there was work being done on the servers for the next 5 minutes.

Seems to be running fine now.

Yeah, the change should make a difference, but I'm not sure it will run faster for everyone, thus the need for some feedback so I can know if there are other unresolved performance issues.

Yeah, it's still loading up slowly, several seconds just to get this second page loaded up.
