Paul - Quick question [and I know I am not including any specifics] Attached is a current example of a typical Page load time My host - VPS Linux - is running with php safe mode on - so I can't use any other suggested load management suggested in the manual http://scripts.webmastersite.net/wsnlinks/wsnmanu... Thinking to the future of "many users" [ not there yet !]:nono: at what point - and at what numbers - and how would I know ? - [other than pages refusing to load ] that I should consider possibly another /faster server ? Thanks ... DR

It's all subjective and unique to your site. If you're on a shared host they decide for you, on a VPS/dedicated it's a matter of how satisfied you are with the speed. 1.8 seconds is good for some directories and bad for others depending on what they're showing.

Ok - an update to the previous post. Found a way to take php safe mode "off" So referencing the server levels that you talk about here in this quote: "when the server load is above a certain level. If you have a Unix(/Linux/BSD) server and PHP is not in safe mode you may do this by going to Admin -> Settings -> System and setting the level for rejecting spiders where it asks. 3 could be a good level. " So just checking that the level of 3 that you refer is as in 3.0 .. so the levels that I am showing ie. 0.20 [see attachment] - if I am following you correctly - are way below the 3.0 mark that you describe - yes ? Thanks DR

0.20 means your server is under no strain and would not get any faster by locking people out. Right now this page has 56 total queries This page was created in 1.23 seconds Server Status: time since last reboot is 57 days, 21:39, load average: 1.57, 1.37, 1.28 which is typical for me. Do you have a remote database? Those tend to need persistent connections for good performance. Edited by Paul on 05/30/07 - 09:44 AM

In config.php, does it says localhost? You can try persistant anyway I suppose in case your database connects slowly for some other reason. http://scripts.webmastersite.net/wsnlinks/wsnmanu...
