Comment: Load Time on Aggregate Pages
| Next >> |
27 seconds to build the index of articles, that's quite a lot... Your site features a quite high number of pages, but that's no reason. What can be done?
First, you are encouraged to optimize the database back-end. This operation consists to re-order records in data files, re-create index files, etc. To achieve this in YACS go to the Control Panel, select the System tab, and click on the Maintenance link.
Second, we are still improving YACS to reduce the burden it puts on server CPU and memory resources. Many ISPs just limit the amount of resources one site can use, and this translates to execution delays for demanding scripts. At Blue Host, they even block execution if your scripts take more than 40 seconds CPU during the last minute...
Key scripts have been profiled in YACS 8.1 to save CPU cycles, and to ask for less memory. At the end of the day, this should also help a lot in your situation.
