SEO

Hi,
We installed vBSEO nearly 1 year ago on Asiaforum.no, and the traffic just keeps increasing and more and more users are registering so i got an email from the host (Domeneshop) telling me to fix the file called vbseo.php because its causing ALOT of load, ive tried to optimize it as i read on the forum, but still the same..
Any special tricks i can check?

I'm running vB 3.6.8 & vBSEO 3.1.0

Any help would be welcomed!

it's probably time to move to better hardware. If you keep growing, your server needs to grow too. Shared hosting is only good for so long. Id' suggest looking into a VPS solution.

the specs for the server is:
Xeon 3,2 GHz and 4 GiB RAM.

sharing the server with 58 others.

who knows what else is on those sites though.

they are saying vbseo.php is using a lot of resources (and it will, as its called on every page load to handle the re-write), but at the end of the day, the amount it uses is very little. I really think its time to move to a larger hosting platform.

Would a VPS Deal be good?

Specs:
Xeon 3,2GHz - 800FSB, 2MB cache
256MB or 512MB for double price
10GB Storage

Running on CentOS 4.5

Would this be better for me?

post the specs of your board....

members, posts, average online with XXX minute cookie, etc so we can give you a more accurate estimate of what kind of hardware you need

where can i see the avg online time?

its in the footer.... currently online users: xxxx
and in the vb acp, under general options, theres a timeout for the cookie. default is 15 min i believe.

ye, its set to 15min
and avg online users in peak is 50-150 members/guests
we have around 1000 uniqe visitors every day
10-12k pageviews every day.

yup, i'd say it's certainly time for a vps.

i'd go with the essential plan here:
ServInt Virtual Private Servers (VPS)
