Hi,

If I were you,
1.
I switched on both cache (Joomla + TelineIV template). If you are anxious about caching the frontend, use the cachecleaner from the nonumber.nl. Insisting on “no-caching” idea sometimes roots in bad soil.
2.
Check how many foreign site is referred from your content (DB query) it could be a surprise (i.e. pics)
3.
Reconsider the usage of the “important” plugins and moduls, sometimes switching them off is better (i.e. google ajax library and so)
4.
Check the log in the cpanel it tells a lot (if it is not empty)
5.
Server settings and a good htaccess could help also.

We have managed to reduce the loading time from 8-10s to 2-5sec (except the main page, where I surmise some jquery issue). Only 2.5k K2 items but commented heavily. (shared hosting with 4proc server, the site is J1.5 and the old K2)

Regards,
aki

Hi balgev:

I experienced similar speed problems. What I found is that your articles need to be archived regularly (choose a number of days/weeks to keep “current” or unarchived) so that upon a homepage hit the template will be quicker. If you do not establish and maintain an archive, the hompage when hit will search through the enitre database (of current/published articles) looking for those that are “featured articles” to populate the first top left module on the page (which houses the featured articles marked). Please try that….my load time went from 20 seconds to 7 seconds by maintaining my published and archived articles. Hope that helps you……

Hi j9oneill

1. I don´t understand very well this issue… I must to archive and to unarchive again my currents articles for “clean” and update the DB?

2. Is better archived or unpublish the articles that are not in use?

PS: I have 1700 articles published (20 features) and 200 unpublished.

Thanks!

Hi there,

You can try with that suggestion and akizuki’s advice then see what’s going on.

Hi again, Depending on your publication publish timeline (day, week or month) I would keep a current (published) amount of articles according to your most current issue and archive the rest.

I have a weekly publication, but choose to keep published a month at a time….the rest are archived back to 2005.

The “featured” option on each article should only be used on your current published articles. Doing both of those things will allow for your homepage to pop much faster.

I hope that helps.
