Site locking up again
- Thread starter Lil Foot
- Start date
Ok an update here:
1) made some changes on the backend and we're in a much better place than say a week ago where CPU load was averaging >1.0 (anytime this happens slowdown for you the visitor will be experienced)
2) reached out to our ad partner to have the Syngenta ad blocked from the site - although I have not seen this one myself, lots of folks have and I can imagine that would be very irritating
So it's a combination of factors - server-side and misconfigured ads which slowdown or block your browser. On the server-side of things, we actually moved to a new one not long ago, and then more recently over to SSD drives. The site, even after 7 years, continues to grow at 50%+ per year so we are now quickly outgrowing hardware.

Hmmmm - nothing appears out of range at the moment. Can you describe more - which day, time of day (and timezone), which browser, etc?

Today I ran a little test and found as follows;
Memory used by various webpages at idle
Yahoo 400 mb
Weather Channel 960 mb
Fox News 660 mb
Tractor by Net 770 mb
Orange Tractor Talks 1.4 gb
This test was run on my desk computer running Google Chrome. OTT double the other web pages.
So my conclusion is, the ads in OTT is running up the memory usage to the point it overwhelms my little notebook laptop.
