Server Upgrade Completed

Wednesday, June 7, 2006 by T-Man | Discussion: WinCustomize News

The database server upgrade is now completed.  The process was pretty smooth and painless so that was a big sigh of relief.  And so far it appears that site is definitely running better with the new DB Server in place.  There is still always room for improvement but this was definitely a big step in the right direction.

Let us know how things are running for you.  Does the site feel faster, slower, the same?  We are interested in hearing from you how everything is working.  Also, if you run into any thing we may have broken along the way please let us know that so we can get it fixed asap.

The speed improvement was/is remarkable, Pat.

Is there any way we can keep the hordes out so it stays this fast always?....

It is running much better.

"Also, if you run into any thing we may have broken along the way please let us know that so we can get it fixed asap."

A lot of the Stats seem to be malfunctioning and or shut off.

Running much smoother - speedwise , just feels about the same to me " on a good "
Which is fine if it stays at that speed. Front page still takes awhile to load for me but not like it was before. ( before was way too long some days )

Seems about a 9.5 at my end in Huntington Beach, CA....using FiOS/Verizon at 14Mbps. Rating from me would be - 4+1/2 STARS - that's for Double Zero!!!

Maybe it's because I'm in Oz, but it's only marginally faster for me. The initial load lag doesn't seem to have changed much, but once that's taken care of the pages do load faster - but nothing remarkable.

Just an observation,but how long does ones comments stay on line? I posted one yesterday in answer to one of the many posted by Sir starkers--it was around 3.30pm BST.Today I logged on to see if I had had a response from Sir s and it has gone!!!! Now I'll never know how his rose pruning/lawn mowing went

Friday June 9, 12.20 am....sometimes pages take up to a minute or more to load, but not always. Could be site traffic, could also be with my ISP, but it's not constant and nothing to stress about.

#51 Jumbuck, I did reply! So just in case you still can't see it....

Bugger the pruning shears...sick of scratches and dug the bloody thing up...gave it to a neighbour

Didn't get around to the mowing...took ages to dig out the rose bush, then it was too dark, WC was back on line and no hope of it happening.

SOD IT!!! Just occurred to me, now I'll have to BUY her roses on special occasions ....when I'm feeling guilty about something

Well it seems most people are definitely seeing a performance increase so that is definitely good news to celebrate.     But we still see those occasionaly pauses as well.  We are not sure if thats database or code related.  We will continue to look into that as well.
