Blog incredibly slow after moving to different server

[treehstn]

I recently moved my blog to a new webhost hoping to increase speed and performance since the old host was notorious for bogged down servers. The blog seems to be accessible by most people but some cannot see the site at all. The folks that can see it are complaining of very slow load times and pages timing out. These were not issues on the old server.

When I load a page in the browser there is an error message in the bottom bar of IE that says something like "Done but with errors on the page". I'm getting that with every page I've viewed so far.

I'm getting slow loading with IE, Firefox, Opera and Netscape.

I'm wondering if any of these switches in the server are the culprit? I have the option of turning them on or off. They are currently set as the defaults which is On except for the last two items which are Off.

Hi!

Hm, right at this moment your page loads very fast. So my thinking is that it's network related or your server's CPU load is simply too high.

The error you are getting is because you configured the URL http://cblog.cessnapilot.net/ missmatches http://www.cessnapilot.net/ - you need to either decide which domain name to use (and do not change it) or go to the s9y confioguration and enable the option "Autodetect HTTP-Hostname".

With differing HTTP hostnames the "browser compatability" plugin you're using will create the errors. Those are not responsible for speedissues, whatsoever.

I would suggest you to ask your provider about high CPU load times in the time when you experience slow network.

The PHP options you name are not related to performance issues, at most the "PHP Acceleration" options. With those I have no experience, I only use the APC code cache and not ZendCache.

What I'd really like the site to do is have www.cessnapilot.net be the main domain name. I'd like one of the static pages in the blog to be the default page that opens when the browser is looking at www.cessnapilot.net. There is a link in the top menu bar that will direct the user to the blog. Those links are still pointing to cblog.cessnapilot.net but I can change that.

I'm not sure what to change where to make everything look at www.cessnapilot.net instead of cblog.cessnapilot.net. Would that be a quick thing for you to list out what I should change and where?

Thanks!

The easiest way would be to use phpmyadmin and search for the string "cblog.cessnapilot" inside your database, and then modify the places where that string was found.

The only other place you would need to check are the *.tpl files inside your template directory, like for your top menu.
