Site too slow?

To bump this up.
Oddly, images seem to load as Tags, before the image actually loads.

It's not that, the frame of the image doesn't load first like it used to.

Dunno if that's important, but the whole site has been really slow for me (timeouts, thumbnails not loading, etch.) It's the slowest I've ever seen it.

I've noticed it too. I'm going to monitor it for a few days before acting. It may just be network issues or a spike in traffic.

I'm getting all the tags before the image loads as well. Sometimes, it doesn't load at all. Even when looking at a pic, I've seen it not load, and the page will just have the tags listed where the image should be. Refreshing works, but the site is still on the slow side.

Same as Rengeki.

I thought it was just my end at first, but after the last 2-3 days, the site hasn't gone back to regular speed.

Yeah, for the past two days or so the site has been slower than I can recall it ever being in at least a year.

Hmm, it wasn't bad for me before, but now I'm getting the "This page cannot be displayed" more often, as well as slow downs and weird picture loading.

Just started up yesterday with me. Image loading is terrible and page load times are even worse.

I hadn't noticed anything over the weekend the few times I was on, but then I was on a dial-up connection.

Now that I'm on a better connection, it seems to be about the same speed and reliability as it was then (though images load faster when they don't stall out).

I wonder if someone is externally doing something to cause this to happen so suddenly. It also seems to be time/traffic sensitive, since it was much faster/reliable last night, than it is now.

It's running fast again for me. Anyone else?

Better, but not well.

Yeah, me too.

It gave me the Downbooru message for a few minutes, and after that it was fast again.

I believe the issue is with the recent upswing in user registrations, bandwidth throttling isn't as effective and the server was getting swamped with connections. I previously had KeepAlive disabled in Apache but I guess the server gets enough connections now to make it worthwhile. Currently set it to 2 seconds and boosted the number of worker processes but I'm not sure if this'll be enough. If anyone is familiar with fine tuning TCP settings on a Linux server please offer some suggestions.

You can see the Apache status here: http://donmai.us/server-status

That worked. There's a noticeable improvement in site speed compared to the past few days.

Better now than during the weekend, but not like it used to be.

Also, more than half of the problem is "Connecting to Danbooru" takes long and may fail altogether. When -- and if -- the data transfer starts, I know I am past the worst of it.

Running Iceweasel 2.0.0.3 on Debian.

The influx of new members (like myself) is huge, so I have been more worried about the near future than annoyed.

It's better but I keep getting timeouts when performing edits (oddly enough it is the only time I receive timeouts.)

I'm going to disable signups temporarily until I get a better handle on this network issue.

Slightly better in loading and speed. But some timeouts occur, and the page needs to be reloaded.

Hmmm same to me the page is a little slow and i dont know but if i try to save some images, i cant it says untitle in the name and bmp format, i dont know if is my problem or what
