Tony Posted February 6, 2017 Report Share Posted February 6, 2017 That test site was so slow i gave up so could you suggest another? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Posted February 6, 2017 Author Report Share Posted February 6, 2017 That's the site everyone uses, click the link and then begin test - what are the results? If it's really taking that long then you must have a really slow connection! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JamesV70R Posted February 6, 2017 Report Share Posted February 6, 2017 I think we may have found the issue - Tony's computer. No issue with the speed you're getting there - shouldn't affect web page load times - do you know what you're paying for? Try this one: http://www.volvoforums.org.uk That should load in under 2 seconds. Thats about as far from WIM forums as you can get - different software, different hosts, different physical hardware, different connections to the internet, the lot. It might be worth a few other checks later to work out if its your computer or internet connection causing your issues. James Edit - This took about 10 seconds to post, but the edit was almost instant - sub 1 second. Rich - assuming you've run them already, but are there any optimisation tools built in to the IPBoard admin panel? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Posted February 6, 2017 Author Report Share Posted February 6, 2017 Yeah there are a few and no issues with those, I'm pretty sure it's server related but I'll keep an eye on it and get on to Invision if it carries on and see what they say.

TheBoy Posted February 6, 2017 Report Share Posted February 6, 2017 As a fellow forum admin, I can suggest that if the forum runs at an acceptable speed for reading, but is slow to reload the new page after posting, you have database efficiency issues you probably need to address. Not sure what back end databse you run here, but you might want to look into table size, indexes, and any optimisation routines recommended by both the forum software vendor and the database vendor. If its a dedicated server, you might want to check disk layout is optimised for usage (DB data and transaction logs on RAID1/10, and forum code/images/javascript/css etc etc on RAID5). If you're on a shared server, you won't have this luxury. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheBoy Posted February 6, 2017 Report Share Posted February 6, 2017 Tried again download is 9.50mbps upload 0.94 is that good or bad? About normal for an ADSL2 line if you are about 1m from your local exchange. That speedtest.net site is a pretty poor way of testing end to end speed though, due to its popularity, and also because of all the bloaty ads it loads whilst doing the test. But certainly at that speed, you should not be experience general web browsing issues, which includes forum browsing/posting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheBoy Posted February 6, 2017 Report Share Posted February 6, 2017 Looking at the forum stats, I don't think you're busy enough to warrant worrying too much about disk layout, but definately look at any DB optimsation routines, reindexing etc. Posting for me is a bit erratic - sometimes near instant, but sometimes a bit of lag 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SMARTLY Posted February 16, 2017 Report Share Posted February 16, 2017 Site crashed just after 0900 this morning and now it's slow as a snail. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Posted February 16, 2017 Report Share Posted February 16, 2017 Yep i had the same problem..... We are in the process of moving the forum to another server. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Posted February 17, 2017 Author Report Share Posted February 17, 2017 I think it went down last night as well? We're hoping to move it all soon and upgrade the forum software... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SMARTLY Posted January 9, 2018 Report Share Posted January 9, 2018 Forum been up and down this afternoon, can't connect is the message. Tried 3 browsers !!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Posted January 9, 2018 Report Share Posted January 9, 2018 As i understand things they are working on wim-web?.... I think we need to run the forum as a stand alone venture rather than an umbilical. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SMARTLY Posted January 9, 2018 Report Share Posted January 9, 2018 Still can't load the WIM site but forum is OK at the moment, error I get is ( I cleared all the cookies ): This page isn’t workingwww.wheels-inmotion.co.uk redirected you too many times. Try clearing your cookies. ERR_TOO_MANY_REDIRECTS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Posted January 9, 2018 Report Share Posted January 9, 2018 What does "redirect" mean? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SMARTLY Posted January 9, 2018 Report Share Posted January 9, 2018 It's trying to send you to another url ( address ) and it's not getting there and ends up in a loop. It was only happening on Chrome, I've cleared my browser data ( in settings ) and it works now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SMARTLY Posted January 9, 2018 Report Share Posted January 9, 2018 Didn't last long - it's failing again. So looks like for Chrome either the website or the forum is storing something in browser data that is "invalid" ( my word ). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geoffers Posted January 9, 2018 Report Share Posted January 9, 2018 This ties in with the other thread Tony - something is linking externally I'd say, (hence the unsafe errors in the background). Actually, just had a thought - have you changed your htaccess file lately Or any DNS changes? Smartly, do you go to wheels-inmnotion.co.uk then select the forum or directly to the forum? http://www.wheels-inmotion.co.uk/forum/index.php?act=Login&CODE=00 Will you try directly to the forum and see if it lets you on without the redirects?

Rich Posted January 10, 2018 Author Report Share Posted January 10, 2018 It was working on Firefox and Edge (for Mac) and Chrome if I don't use www. Chrome seems to redirect to https. I noticed a certificate is out of date when looking at the cpanel earlier but it's not something I want to mess with as they pay IT guys to look after it. The certificate expired on 3rd January which is when these issues started I think. There was nothing in the htaccess file apart from one line saying it gets the settings from PHP. I can't remember the exact wording, I'll have another look tomorrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SMARTLY Posted January 10, 2018 Report Share Posted January 10, 2018 I go direct to Forum Geoffers and rarely access the website, just been trying since others have had problems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Posted January 10, 2018 Report Share Posted January 10, 2018 Thanks everyone for looking at this issue and i can assure everyone soon we will have total control over wim web/ forum. At the moment i want to tell IT what they are doing wrong or what they arn't doing? so some questions... 1: What is the certificate for. 2: Has this anything to do with Zen 3: Has the web been hacked again and if so how are they getting in since the web site is static.

The certificate expired on 3rd January which is when these issues started I think. That's odd because externally published info is March, unless there's another part? This was the first thing I checked the other night.It does tie in timing wise though.
