Server Load Post Install

Been watching my server load, and just about had kittens...

Normal load is around 0.3-0.7, but since installing it rocketed to 4 !

I've disabled the product in AdminCP and load dropped back to acceptable levels.

Board currently has 1100 users online, 200K posts....

Help !

did you see what was going on specificially when the load spiked? does it coincide only with vbseo being on specifically? because i didn't have the same experience...i noticed when i did my sitemap with a bunch of changes, i got bombarded for by yahoo slurp and it actually did spike my server load for a little while, but it died down after a bit with no lasting effects...

i'm sure others may have other ideas, though...and i don't run as many folks online at a time as that, either...

Hello,

please try these optimization suggestions: Troubleshooting:Server Load - VBSEO Wiki

Thanks guys - definitely Vbseo causing it, as, as soon as I disabled it, the loads dropped to normal levels...

Just reading through the Wiki link now...

Also, on my server, for some reason - I can't see the htaccess file, even though I know it was working and rewriting URL's earlier - and have not deleted it...

is your ftp program set to show "invisible" or "hidden" files? i assume it's in your ftp that you can't see .htaccess...

Okay - got it....

Just made the changes from Wiki page, and now re-enabled product...

Will check server load !

Thanks guys

Okay - server load after making changes and enabling product again, have smoothed out at around 0.5.. currently have 1400 users online, so happy with that figure

Brilliant help guys, thanks again.

Excellent!
