I've spent the past day optimizing the site's overall speed and also a few pages, these include:

RGR Game Pages - Should load up to 50% faster
RGR Index Pages - Should load up to 25% faster

Forum Index - Should load up to 35% faster
Memberlist - Should load up to 25% faster
Online Users - Should load up to 25% faster
New Posts - Should load up to 50% faster

All other pages - Should load up to 10% faster
(probably 25% faster for guests, I was really able to speed up the pages for them by removing content they don't have to see such as who is on what page)

I don't know what the percentages mean really, but the site feels faster at least. Even if it's only in my head.

Davideo7 : Indeed i have seen a noticable difference in the sites speed, compared even to this morning when i first logged on. I have quick question, wondered if this might help speed, are there still users on the site that havent been active in a long time?, or do you do regular User cleanups, was just thinking maybe removing some long inactive users might help speed it up a bit.

Hmm, for me the pages load a lot slower than before. I know it's not my end because my computer is super fast and so is my internet connection. Strange.

For me, the page loading speed varies. Sometimes it is faster, sometimes it is about the same as when I first registered. I'm sure that just depends on the traffic. I can't say it has ever been slower than when I registered, so it's all good. One thing I wondered was why I get this page sometimes. It says something on the lines of reducing excess traffic by not allowing a user to see too many pages in a short time. The last line says I can view another page in ## seconds. Every time I refresh the page, it shows how many seconds I have left. At first, I thought it was because I was just moving through the pages too fast. But sometimes it happens when I post something.

rcarter2 : That happens when you've viewed to many pages in to short of a time, it's part of the DoS protection I created.

I figured it was something like that. It doesn't bother me when it happens. I can't think of a time where I am in such a hurry that I can't wait 60 seconds to view something. Just wondering, what does it protect from? Does the site run slower if people are viewing a lot of pages in a short time, or is it to prevent spam bot type things?

rcarter2 : Its mainly for DoS attack prevention. Basically in the past DoS attacks people were running bots which would execute thousands of pages in small time intervals which drains the servers CPU eventually causes the site to crash or slows down the sites performance greatly.

Think of it as traffic jams on the road. The more cars there are the longer it takes to get somewhere. If too many cars are on the road at once it creates a gridlock. When Vizzed is in a gridlocked you probably won't be able to access the site at all.

Oh, I see. Is that the kind of hacking that was being done a few months ago when the site was pretty much put out of commission for a while? I read different stories about what exactly was being done, so it was hard to separate assumptions from fact.

Yeah, it had gotten pretty annoying when they first attacked and the site was really really slow.
