Is 5-second load time for a 75k page too long?

[digitalfilm]

I don't really know whom to address this question to, but it seems to me that load times ranging from 2-22 seconds when monitored from multiple locations (MAE-East, MAE-West, Chicago) for a simple 75kb page is way too long.

I have VERY detailed logs from the monitoring company, and when i drill down it is the index.php file that varies in response time, not the images or css files. I have posted a screengrab at:

Is this the host server being overloaded? I'm on a shared virtual server. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Hi!

Hm, at least right now the page loads for me in half a second. So it *might* only be routing related.

Which event plugins do you have installed? Depending on which ones you have they might take up larger resources...

Hi!

Most likely your problems come from either one of these:

Code: Select all

[Display RSS-Feed in Backend Overview]  
[Cronjob scheduler]
Backup Interface ()

Try to disable the backup interface one, this is most likely a culprit, I think.
