Hi

We experienced an extreme slow down last night due possibly in part to an internet provider in the area. However, the slowdown in service affected the site very badly, when other sites may have taken twice the time to load (8-12 sec), our site was taking 100 seconds plus. After taking all the dynamic modules out of the site (anything using rss or claendar sharing or pulling from another page by other means) those pages were back to regular speed. However, the login and other pages are still very slow and registering or loging in takes 45+ seconds. Can someone explain to me their theories on why this may be occurring? (the site remained at normal speeds when tested internally and through other isp's)

Thanks for any help,
Mike

Hi thanks for your reply. We looked into it and one of the worker processes is running about 270 mb but that should be well within bounds for this server. A coworker thinks it may be that the aliases are set up strange and that's why some isp's are having trouble and not others. I have 4 aliases set up for this portal, should I dump some of them? I am really in a bind here so please keep the ideas coming. Thanks. Mike

Event log is getting several timout errors but also these:

Mike:

Since it is not clear from your problem description, what happens when you access the site from an internal address???  Is it possible for you to test this???

Also, is your server dedicated or are there other sites/applications running on that server???  And how are they performing???
