Hey Everyone,
Starting a few weeks ago HBC has become the absolute slowest site I visit. ANY page takes at least 30-60 seconds just to load.
Now, I know the site sits on a new server, and I host several websites with the same company so I don't feel it's the server. My own websites that are hosted at the same facility all load super quick, no issues at all.
It could be some server specific settings but the server itself is plenty big enough for this task.
I have tried:
1. Different Browsers (IE/FireFox/Chrome)
2. Different Computers (I have 3 PC's and a Laptop in the house)
3. Changing Modems (Telus sent me a brand new DSL modem)
4. Virus/Spyware/Registry cleaning. (AVG,Adaware,Malwarebytes,RegVac)
None of the above has worked... To top it off, I even built up a brand new computer and then tried... Same thing! Slow as molasses.
I've narrowed it down to the following
1. Something is screwed up with Telus. (anyone else on Telus having issues?)
2. Google Adsense is having an issue (this has happened in the past with 1000's of websites serving their ads. I think they can fix if notified.)
3. MYSQL Connections - By default your server setting for MYSQL connections is like 150 if I remember correctly. Ask LiquidWeb if they will increase that, or even show them this post and see what they say.
Is there anyone else out there having similar issues?
