Slow loading

Hi,

Since I purchased vbSEO I noticed in the last hour my forum as been running very slow taking about 2minutes for pages to load.

Any ideas why?

My test forum is here : http://chatfreaks.net/forums/

Thanks

It is loading fast for me: test2 - Forums

Loads fast for me too.

Btw, that's an interesting URL format you've set for your forums.

Also, you should enable your homepage aliases feature by adding 'index.php' & 'index.php?' to the corresponding field, so that Forums - Powered by vBulletin redirects to Forums - Powered by vBulletin.

Will these URL formats still work fine.

Also I am not sure what I need to do with the homepage aliases?

I just looked at your URLs? Is there a particular reason you set them up like that?

Unless you have a particular reason to use the "=" sign in such a manner, I would recommend not doing so.

The reason is that it's a recognized operator in the query string. While, technically, you do not have a query string (because there is no "?"), I would not leave anything to chance.

Also - if you're not going to rewrite your URLs with keywords, why bother keeping "showthread", etc, in the URL?

You could just do:

Code:

http://chatfreaks.net/forums/t3.html

instead of:

Code:

http://chatfreaks.net/forums/showthread=3.html

No reason just thought it looks fancy like at : http://dragonflycms.org they use URL's like that but I was thinking of changing it back and using something else like maybe the - or _ as default.

Don't use the underscore. It's use is deprecated. Stick with the dash "-".
