Hi folks,

Not sure if this is specifically a problem with JA Ores, but perhaps someone can shed some light. We are hosting with GoDaddy on their Ultimate plan and have recently put up Joomla and the JA Ores template. The ultimate plan is limited to 200 connections and it appears we are hitting that pretty regularly just during development … the site is not even live yet! We are getting “Service Unavailable” 503 messages if we hit refresh on the page once or twice.

Running our site, or the JA Ores demo template on Joomlart.com, through the Web Site Analyzer (http://www.websiteoptimization.com/services/analyze/) takes forever and usually shows over 130+ objects loaded every single visit to just a simple homepage. We are using search engine-friendly URLs, Apache mod rewrite, and renamed htaccess.txt to .htaccess, but I’ve tried reversing all that with no luck. It looks like all of the referenced objects in the template.css file are being loaded regardless of whether or not they are used. On closer inspection, this appears to be the case with JA Purity also. A custom template we made with Artisteer for another site does not seem to have this issue, and neither do the other two default Joomla templates that are non-Joomlart (Beez and Rhuk_milkyway). I can set those as the template and go to town refreshing the page a hundred times, it never dies. As soon as I use JA Ores or JA Purity, I refresh the page two or three times and it dies.

Any idea what I can do to resolve this? The website is temporarily:

Thanks,
Paul

Have you tried to enable Joomla caching option?

Is that a client-side caching feature? I’ll try enabling it anyways.

Actually, it’s a server side feature. Some pages are stored as they are in Joomla cache directory and are loaded in browser without (or with fewer) DB queries. Some explanations on Joomla docs.

I recently saw an Ores based template being used on a massive site with a huge amount of daily visitors. This was being run on some cheap VM hosting over here in the UK (http://www.bytemark.co.uk) . I honestly do not think it is the basic template causing your problems but proving that will not be easy. Looking at the servers error logs might help but not always easy with Godaddy. It could just be that the server you are on has far too many sites being run and one with slightly higher load is just killing its resources.

Without seing the site is is going to be even harder to help diagnose your problems.

Thanks for the assists. The problem seems to have drifted away magically after a call to GoDaddy support, though they said it was probably an issue with my plugins (which may also be true).

If the issue resurfaces I’ll troubleshoot it then. Unfortunately I couldn’t access my logs yet, the hosting account was too new.
