Blog speed should be faster now
|
Blog speed should be faster now About 11 hours ago, we corrected an issue that was slowing blogs waaaaay down. The chart shows the load on one of the database computers - which shows it much happier starting 1pm. Average page load times dropped to 20% as much as they were before. Many thanks for your feedback and patience. This coming week, we are focusing on site speed of groups, friends list, and other main pages.  |

I am hoping in the new rush of multiple upgrades and fixes that you remember your previous thought on blogger teams for helping to assist in duplicate/fake/dormant {no longer used/accessed} profiles, hijacking of threads in the advice and other lines, and so on. I realize there are several details that would have to be worked out, but seeing as how I am on this site most of my 'free' time I do {and have} volunteered as have others. We are willing to be part of the solution and not part of the problem. There seems to be another issue, 'overseas' wise that I still haven't figured out unless it's update times from your computers there to the States; they will comment from England or where ever and it will take hours for me to see their comments on my post, which end up posting where they should have shown originally {but if I am not scrolling through the post, they wouldn't get noticed because they do not post themselves at the end/where or when they actually show up for me}. Aggravating a bit, but not seriously so; more as a question if you knew the cause of the 'lag' time. And yes, my comments to those posters overseas on their blogs do the same {show up way later, but about where they would have been had they posted AND shown up at the same time for everyone}. I know...there's no such creature as an 'ex' computer tech!  Thanks for the speed thingies and all...I'm on dialup right now due to a move and there is a dramatic difference, even to posting responses to comments on my blog {even on dialup, it's much faster now}. Cute chart, btw.

You might need to look at what brand and size processors your server computers are using.Intel has come out with a bigger and more powerful processor that is a dulr inline procerros that has blazing clock speeds.I know that they are expensive,but they are worth the money and the time to install them.All reports that I've seen,sholw that the big corporations like Yahoo,Google,Ask.com and some others are spending the money and changing over.One other good reason for the change over is that you can add more data to your server and it will still operate at blazing clock speeds. It might be something for you to consider,,,,,,,,,,Bigdaddie,,,,,,,,,,,

I noticed my blog and comments were loading much faster now, thanks. Now if there was just some way to get actual women in easy transit distance from me to check out my profile  Opus

Things are still way slow and the entire site keeps timing out. I'm not having that problem on other sites. Not to mention, last night, I couldn't even get logged in. I kept being told when I hit log in, the document contains no data. Then, when I finally did get logged in, the blogs were completely down. But the entire site is still way slow. Are they ever going to fix the chat problems, such as not being able to remove anyone with capital letters in their handles from the iggy box?

Speed is better today, which is a world of difference our here in 'dial-up' land. kpb

Ditto with MissAnnThrope... I thought there was another conspiracy in the blogs when all my entries were gone... no warning from you... usually you put up a little sign saying "do not adjust your dials" or "we'll be back" this time nada. With all the strange blog wars going on I thought someone decided I was a liability and shot me a whammy. But all in due time I guess.  L'Oracle de L'Amour Hi again

I don't have a problem with this issue or ever did but I do have a problem when people especially paying profiles get banned without a valid reason on the say so of not so reliable sources that don't pay to use the site who use fake profiles to abuse people and get away with it while the abuser gets banned for naming and shaming and when asked why, there is no response? VERY BAD ETHICAL BUSINESS TACTICS I MUST SAY! Also, the people you have banned still have their blogs up, why is that? Why isn't that deleted too? There are many multiprofilers on this site who abuse paying members. I was once a paying member but as long as the company allows these multiprofilers to abuse others you might end up with all none paying customers. Not good for business I assure you unless thats your policy too on how you run the site? Just asking and voicing my opinion, not meant as an insult. I would be grateful if you would look into the matter more closely. Many are not even bloggers who abuse the site but comment only and have turned off profiles but do have other profiles that they use regularly to pretend it isn't them. Its feels like being all over again from one of the members on Affairlook in the past with Internet Stalkers. Sorry for ranting.

"...which shows it much happier starting 1pm" Hehehe...I don't even want to know ...okay time for my bubble bath, my thoughts are wandering off...

My posts returned a mysteriously as they disappeared. It was about three am yesterday and several other blogs I was looking at were gone too... not all of them just some. I thought it was the work of the evil blog snatchers... they kidnapped other blogs recently in a silly game among the bloggers... who knows what really is going on... but maybe they were testing to see if they were in the system. I am not a geek but I have heard about back doors and have had to use some to get into game rooms when the main entrance was too full. Do you have back doors that need security checks? My blog is not that important to me but there are a few that are treasures that are being threatened by in fights on the blogs. It is petty battles created by cretins on the top blogger list... need I say more... I got very angry when I was first here because I came for the blogs and found my time was being wasted by a bunch of silly bloggers pissing on territories... I was even called an outsider when I slapped their silly game in their face. Well, I got over it and am having fun in the blogs again. Should have stayed out of it but it all turned out for the best. Now I know many names in the posse of evil doers and avoid their blogs and don't comment on their shite. Thank you for fixing the glitch that made it so slow... you are well loved by the bloggers.

Well...I'm slogging through my list of watched blogs and things are still reallllly slow....get more hamsters to run the wheels that run this thing.

Thanks for taking our blogging concerns seriously and working on it. One of the revelations in If you were unable to blog here is that a significant number of bloggers are here primarily to blog, their paid memberships are for blog facilities and would leave this site if they couldn't continue blogging or found it too slow and/or unwieldy. Interactive speed is really important, as it has a serious impact on the level of satisfaction anyone gets from this site. ~warm

Well it most likely won't matter that my opinion on the reason for a lot of the lags, bugs, and speed performance is not due to hardware (servers) as it is the bottlenecks that are being caused by the table design. The clients (users) are logging in from so many differently named sites (Passion, Xmatch, Lesbianpersonals, AFF etc...) and each one of those sites has its own paticular designed formats and members databases apparently. I have two profiles that I use. Recently I performed a personal test of my own with my group settings with the moderator stepping down and sending an invite to another member to moderate the group. I sent the invite to my secondary profile and accepted it being logged in to AFF (the actual site I joined as a member of with both profiles), everything went smooth with the change of moderators. Then I sent an invite back to my main profile and logged into Passion instead to accept the invite, that did not go smooth. What happen was when I accepted the invite I was logged off Passion and redirected to AFF with the moderator group description editing page, but without the moderator handle being displayed and without my main profile being placed as moderator of the group; in other words, moderator invite failed because of logged in under a different website address. This leads me to believe that the clients (members\users) of the site are not actually truly logged in to all sites that are joined together as one site and each entry that a member makes (posting) is recorded under their profile to the actual site db they signed up as a member of and inserted into a parent site db. Consequently that means that members are accessing tables from other sites hyperlinked to a parent site directory and are being redirected with some really fancy coding to the way the page displays in html format for the signed in user. In conclusion to with what I am saying here and without actually knowing the table designs is that the clients are bouncing back and forth from one site table to the parent table with hyperlinks redirecting them off and on the actual site they logged into. Boy you have got to have one hell of a cluster, since I cannot even explain my thoughts completely without confusion; I guess my resources and memory have been drained too.

Hi! You've done great speeding up the blogs!! Thanks, Love reading them! And I really like the whole site...thanks for making it possible!!!!! EMAIL PROBLEMS: I know, go to the service people...well I have for the last 4 weeks and nothing has changed. When a Gold Member emails me, I as a standard member should be able to email them back. This is not happening. The service people say I am using inappropriate language....when the message says, " Hi, thanks for the email! Yes it would be nice to chat" I don't think that is inappropriate!! What do you think??? A friend and I communicate through the blogs but can't through the email system ... this is how I know what is happening, plus the questioning emails that I get wondering why I have not responded to emails! Anything you could do would be much appreciated!!! Thanking you in advance, Taughtheart

I think DreamLover has something here, and I would like to see a comment by LuvPump responding to it. How about it LuvPump? Can you further detail the myriad of relationships between the named sites and how it may be impacting the speeds of group/blog access on Affairlook specifically? If all this redirecting IS taking place, it sure would explain alot of things.... IT

I am sorry, but I do not believe you understand what exactly "bottlenecks" are when it comes to programming or what causes them.

First of all, Jealousy is very unbecoming of you and of everyone else. Second of all, I havent abused anything or anyone. Third of all, MzHuny, AngelofMercy and Purry amongst a TON of others ALL pimp their blogs. Some do it one way, some do it another, but they pretty much all do it. It's time to lay it to rest now. I got where I am fair and square. You blog your way, I blog mine. I leave you alone and do not condemn and would appreciate the same in return. It's funny, MzHuny, Angelof Mercy and Purry, NONE of them are angry or upset about anything. Why is everyone who is NOT even involved got their undies all in a bundle? It's all about marketing and the willingness to work for what you want. Everyone is trying to pit MzHuny and myself against one another when it's not even about that. It's not like we are competing for first place. Anyways, it won't be long and most of my unique responses will fall off and my blog will slide down that all important list. And you know what? It doesn't matter, it's OK, actually I can't WAIT. I never believed people when they said it's hell at the top because of the way people behave, but it's TRUE. People get jealous and vengeful and hateful just as if they were in Jr High all over again. Everyone is so busy defending MzHuny and there isn't anything to defend. She doesn't have a problem with me, or at least if she does, she hasn't expressed it. I don't have a problem with her either. It's everyone else who has the problem and they just simply need to move on and get over it.

Bottlenecks The delay in transmission of data through the circuits of a computer's microprocessor or over a TCP/IP network. The delay typically occurs when a system's bandwidth cannot support the amount of information being relayed at the speed it is being processed . There are, however, many factors that can create a bottleneck in a system. Bottlenecks affect microprocessor performance by slowing down the flow of information back and forth from the CPU and the memory. If all of the components of a system are not able to feed the same amount of data at the same speed, a delay is created. For example, a 2GB processor will be severely bottlenecked by an 800MB memory bandwidth. Bottlenecks affect network performance by slowing down the flow of information transmitted across networks. TCP/IP connections were originally designed to transmit only text files, and the proliferation of bandwidth-intensive transmissions such as high-resolution graphics has caused bottlenecks in the process; therefore, the data moves more slowly across networks. (v.) To delay the transmission of data through a data path. Now I underlined and put certain words (take note to the words I underlined or put in bold) of a description of what bottlenecks are and you are partially correct in your defining of them in concerns to hardware; however, if you re-read what I responded to your posting you will see a total difference. Quoting myself: "I am sorry, but I do not believe you understand what exactly "bottlenecks" are when it comes to programming or what causes them" When you have "data" being transmitted, most times there is a database that stores the information being sent or requested by a client. Databases are a part of software programs. Programmers create the software program with different assembly code languages (such as, SQL, MYSql, C, C++, Visual Basics, Java, PHP, HTML, XML and the list goes on and on and on). Now here is the kicker when it comes to software programs. Software relies on using memory, seeking and writing to a hard drive, and CPU usage. Those are bottlenecks when it comes to programming because the programmer wants to use the least amount of the CPU, the memory and the least amount of time needed to search and write on the hard drive; consequently, a server\servers (computers) hardware can and is affected by the way a software program has\was\were written. If a software program has absolutely no bugs and is written 100% purely clean to conform to the hardware of a computer [servers], the amount needed from the CPU, memory, and the seek and write time of the hard drive is greatly reduced and transmission of data being sent or requested is greatly increased (speed). That is a basics key of software engineering and development to having a program that "rocks" in performance. Hardware is not always a cause and answer, nor is software; however, when you have gone through replacement and upgrades of hardware, I believe it is time to really look deep into the software programming as being the cause and the solution. By the way, in no way was my responses to your postings was meant nor intended to being offensive to you hunny_hole nor to anyone else. I have given all suggestions, feedback and opinions that were asked of me to giving to my best ability and honesty, and it is time for taking a rest from it. Nick
