Hello
Title says it all really. Im trying to optimise this site the result shows that each time my initial connect time is around 3179ms and with all the requests that all adds up to results of at least 20s

Please help
Wow, that’s insane and not something I have ever seen before. Are you running your own server stack or is it running on a shared server? It looks like a serious problem with the Apache config.
Im running Joomla 1.5 on a basic hosting package from lunarpages (hence probably shared). I assumed the slow speed was just the fact it was either an old joomla version (but the new upgrade im now testing is showing similar results) or the fact that its a basic hosting plan. Now that ive found this test it seems like something else entirely. I wanted to check if it was something basic i was doing wrong before contacting lunarpages
Im a bit clueless with regards to hosting etc so not sure what other information i should include here but heres a list from my hosting control panel
Operating System CentOS release 5.4 (Final)
Kernel Version 2.6.18-164.11.1.el5PAE
Apache Version 2.2.3
MySQL Version 5.0.77
PERL Path /usr/bin/perl
PERL Version 5.8.8
PHP Path /usr/bin/php
PHP Version 5.3.14
PHP53 Path /opt/php53/bin/php
PHP53 Version 5.3.14
Ruby Path /usr/local/bin/ruby
Ruby Version 1.9.3
I’d contact lunarpages. Beyond the rediculously slow connect times, the server isn’t permitting keep-alive connections so it is having to re-connect (slowly) for every request. Some shared hosting providers disable keep-alive because they are too over-subscribed to support it but it’s borderline criminal to do that.
thanks. will do
Hi
Some time ago I investigated similar problem. The cause was network-level. Some issues regarding congestion window and default setting in Windows 7. I can not find the solution and detailed description of it at the moment.

In my case it helped.
Forgot to come back here when i got it sorted. In case it helps anyone, my sites database was not on the same server as the site. Lunarpages moved me over to a different server with the mysql database on the same server and cpanel control panel instead of the lunarpanel (i dont think that made a difference but it came with the change in server).
Either way it changed my load time down to a few seconds
