Seems faster now that we're on 5.0.5.
This site is still unbearably slow..

The bottleneck on the New Topics seems to be on filtering unread posts. Setting unread_only to 0 seems to load the page much much faster.

Yes, it's much faster today
Hopefully it'll stick this time and continue to be quick the rest of the week/month.👍 1Comment

Since the RC1 was installed at this live site, this is a strong indicator that vB 5.0.5 seems to be almost ready, don't you think? No one can tell you an exact release date, but it doesn't look like you have to wait for another couple of weeks.👍 1Comment

This is fascinating to me. I have worked in IT, Application Development from small, private sites to major headache sites... as a web developer since the 90s... and I have never heard of this before. One thing that has always been a constant push - everywhere - is scheduling and staying on track with meeting deadlines.
I understand that you can't rush genius, but... most days I don't think that's what we are talking about here, really.
Trying to be patient...Comment

Does anyone have any experience of how quickly it loads from a phone? How quick is that?Comment

I'm viewing from the UK, I'm guessing the vBulletin.com server is US-based and I wouldn't describe the connection as "unbearably slow" anymore. I'd say it was now just about tolerable when I'm viewing from a PC or an ipad; not good, but better than it was. It usually loads in less time for me than 7 seconds unless something makes it fall over. Last time that happened to me it was an ad on the right hand side of the screen advertising vB5. I don't know what that was but I'm guessing it was "Son of Notices Manager". The Notices Manager occasionally caused problems in vB4, so we don't use it much. Does anyone have any experience of how quickly it loads from a phone? How quick is that?MARK.B

How can so many people have so different experiences when visiting the same site? I mean, even if speed issues are server related, we all should experience those issues, right? Or wrong?Comment

We try to improve the building of these views with Caching. Guest users are heavily cached for instance. We only build their pages once every 5 minutes. So in essence they are behind the times. On top of that with Guests we use a tool called Varnish which converts those Page views into HTML files. So they never actually use the software and are just being fed cached pages.
With registered users, it is more dynamic and things are updated quicker. Most caches are held for shorter times and then rebuilt.
Again with licensed customers, they see different things still. This is stored as well.
With the issue in this thread it is most likely related to the unread_only filter on searches. We can't cache this for groups. Each visitor is going to have their own list of unread threads that is then inserted into the cached page view.
Finally there is local storage. We try to take advantage of this for things like phrases, reused templates and other items you'll use on multiple pages. You can turn off Local Storage. So this will increase your viewing time. Same with caching the Javascript and CSS. If those are cached and not downloaded again, you'll have better speeds. If they are downloaded, they add latency. We try to defer a lot of this to the end of the page load so you can read before acting on the page. However with some systems this can cause the page to seemingly freeze while your viewing it as well.
In short, there are a lot of variables involved.Translations provided by Google.

by jdougherI could never consider using this software unless it gets considerably faster. Why the sluggish performance?
