It's seems to be taking ages to navigate round the pcreview site this afternoon.
Taking anything up to 1 minute to load a page & I gave up trying to look at Todays Post tab.
Anyone else having problems?

It seems ok from this end - but I'd be interested to know if others are having access problems?

Did it give an error, or does it just take a while to load?

The main page buffering has gone well, so I'll see if I can roll it out to other query intensive areas of the site to help lessen the load - that should help with any speed problems

The latest articles box on the side menu is now cached, so that should help things - I'll go through the site tonight and see what else I can cache. It just takes 4 lines of code, but it should speed things up a little for each thing I can find

I've made another code change now that might solve problems people have been having. I don't know if it will work, but it's worth a shot - if anyone notices any problems then please do let me know

The fix is a bit experimental... as I've basically removed a very long database query and replaced it with an "=1" as that is what the answer should be each time in this instance. I don't see why it won't work, but you never know with computers

"Parsing functions.php Time before: 1202758347.58 Time after: 1202758347.61 Time taken: 0.0265707969666"

This specific error occured when accessing the homepage (www.pcreview.co.uk) at about 7.30pm today.

That was all that was on the page.

Similar error when accessing any other pages, lasted no more than a minute.

The site has been running really slowly for me the last few days, gotta say.

Some link attempts have actually timed out.

Right at this moment though, it's ok.

I was going to mention it but thought I'd give it a little while.

Thanks for posting that, that was just as I made the change - the cache grabbed the error page so I had to quickly refresh it

Does it happen at any time in the day or on certain pages (or just all pages all the time?). I'm going to work on speeding things up today and tomorrow
