Slow loads & Blank Pages

Hey,

Just installed vBSEO: http://www.one-theme.com/support/

After playing with the settings and getting everything set up, i noticed a massive new "Lag" when i visit forums/threads, every now and then it returns a blank page, after trying to load for more than 10 seconds.

Before i installed vBSEO everything ran fine, i've had the forums online around a month and haven't noticed any Lag before now.

Could this have anything to do with apache settings? We're on a dedicated server.

.htaccess content:

PHP Code:

# Comment the following line (add '#' at the beginning)
# to disable mod_rewrite functions.
# Please note: you still need to disable the hack in
# the vBSEO control panel to stop url rewrites.
RewriteEngine On

php_flag magic_quotes_runtime off

# Some servers require the Rewritebase directive to be
# enabled (remove '#' at the beginning to activate)
# Please note: when enabled, you must include the path
# to your root vB folder (i.e. RewriteBase /forums/)
#RewriteBase /

#RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.yourdomain\.com
#RewriteRule (.*) http://www.yourdomain.com/forums/$1 [L,R=301]

RewriteRule ^((urllist|sitemap_).*\.(xml|txt)(\.gz)?)$ vbseo_sitemap/vbseo_getsitemap.php?sitemap=$1 [L]

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !(admincp/|modcp/|cron)
RewriteRule ^((archive/)?(.*\.php(/.*)?)?)$ vbseo.php [L,QSA]

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !^(admincp|modcp|clientscript|cpstyles|images)/
RewriteRule ^(.+)$ vbseo.php [L,QSA] 


Note: I added "php_flag magic_quotes_runtime off" after reading another thread, didn't help though!

Thanks,

Lee

what's your php memory limit?
and sql wait_timeout setting

Hi Brian,

Memory_limit 128M 128M
Keep-Alive timeout=5, max=100
msql.connect_timout 60 60
Timeouts Connection: 300 - Keep-Alive: 5
default_socket_timeout 60 60

that all looks ok.

try some of these:

another common one is the setting,
Limit URL Length leave at 0 if you changed it to something else.

and consider installing xcache or eaccelerator
