Server Speed

I saw in another thread that a few people have had problems with the site speed last night, and I was wondering if I could get some feedback on if there were any errors, or if you noticed the approx time it happened?

I can look up the server logs and check to see if anything went on around that sort of time which may have caused this.

Each Sat morning (GMT) there are full server backups performed which may cause this, but that happens at around 3AM GMT.

There wasnt any errors just took two minutes to load a page - Sorry about the time I cant remember what time it was - I do know the two days before I was having the same trouble are Midnight GMT.

Thanks Clifford, if it happened during a weekday then it rules out the main server backups causing the problem - I'll check out the server today and see if I can find anything happening around midnight.

edit: at 2:13AM GMT last night IIS failed to respond to a ping and was reset, which would have caused a few mins slowness last night. I'm still checking for other things though.

I am at -8 Zulu time I have the problem when I check in during the week at around 9am to 11am - 12 am at -8 Zulu time I experience lag issues when loading I dont know but if a lot of people who are having the same problem I have it on other sites besides W7 it might have ot do with behind the sceen stuff on W7 if that makes sence ???

but 11am to 12pm -8 Zulu time is when i experience this issue with W7

July 20th at appx 5am Atlantic Time (3am Central) the site was slow loading for a few mins then it worked perfectly fine afterwards.

Thanks, I'll look at the logs for these times and see what has been happening

Who's your hosting provider?

Ian is there a link between W7Forums and TechieHQ. Ive just noticed that both sites was slow to respond. Time is 6:15PM(11:15PM UTC).

Could it be an international issue seeing how other sites loaded fine.

Both sites are acting the same way. When one started loading faster so did the other site

P.S. - Sites started loading fine around 8:15PM(1:15AM UTC)

It's hosted with www.theplanet.com, and both sites are on the same server. How long does it take to load a page when this happens, is it just a little sluggish or does it take over 10 secs to load?

I've had a good look through the logs but can't see anything which would cause this. It seems to last for quite a long time though, so I'll need to try and fix it
