Thanks, That was really useful, seems that zend optimizer has been installed and is listed as enabled.

I use the free speed test service to check its speed, and it shows me anywhere betweeen 30-50 seconds ( which is huge ) to open up the main page.

http://the-good-food-guide.com

Now my main page is pretty large, I figure that's probably why , but when I try testing some of the content pages inside the site. It still comes back with a time for 15-20 seconds...

It might be coz there's another process running on the same CPU hoggin resources....

Thoughts?

Thanks for the help..... AJ.

You can easily check if Zend Optimiser is running, with the following PHP program:

-------------------------- <?php phpinfo(); ?> --------------------------

My guess is that your provider is just sloooooooow (maybe sharing too many hosts per machine? or maybe has a CPU-hog on the shared machine?).

Can you be more precise about how slow? Does it affect all operations? View? Edit? Just large pages?

My site, http://en.chainki.org has over 10000 pages, is on a shared server, and is so far pretty fast (except when generating massive "disambiguation" pages) without any optimisation software.

Thanks!! My hosting service offers zend optimizer.... I'm trying to check if this has been configured or not... If it hasn't I'll get on

it

right away , if they have, any pointers on how I might improve the performance of the site... its reaallly slow right now.

Thanks much, AJ
