    Re: Website is slow sometimes

    Dreamhost is a cheap place for websites with visitors from the US, but for international visitors it's a terrible host. The last time (januari 2015) we discussed hosts Dreamhost had just moved our server in november and problems were solved with that move. I never thought it came back again because they said it's a stable server. Obviously they lied and I saw they still use an old MySQL version on their shared virtual servers.

    The best thing is that we need to find a better host in december and we have to pay a little more money for that, although I don't think that would be a problem because most of the members here live in the richest countries of the world according to the Global Wealth Report 2015 ;)

    I did test that, like any other plugin, but it didn't change that much.

      I can get behind that idea.

        Is the site more responsive now? I disabled Pagespeed.

                I guess it helped a bit. It's still loading slower than other sites, but I feel like it has improved a bit since last time. Could be placebo though, I'm not sure.

                Logging in works fine for me btw.
                I'm as sneaky as can be. None's sneakier than me.

                    I second that. The loading time is way better tonight than it has been recently.

                      Normal loading times are between 1,800 and 2,200. The average is 0,5 to 2 seconds higher because of the higher loading times between 6AM and 1PM (13:00h).
                      This is from october 2nd (one day ago) and represents what happened in the weeks before, though the loading times seems to be a bit lower. The fact is that the loading times between 6AM and 1PM are significant higher compared to the period between 1PM and 6AM the next day. This is what I was telling Dreamhost support the last couple of weeks but not more than "the site is responsive now" was all I got for an answer every time.

                        Hmmm, was going to post something about looking into their tier packages seems they only have only
                        two services for what we need. One is $8.95 a month and the other is $149 a month but even at
                        that high price all they seem to offer is 100% Uptime Guaranteed and no mention about loading speeds.

                        A dedicated server gives you the ultimate in control, power and security. With your own server, there'll be no more noisy neighbors disrupting your website performance.
                        You'll have access to all the server resources and horsepower you need for your website. Plus, with our dedicated server experts managing and monitoring the performance of your server 24x7,
                        you can focus on your business.
                        Guess the horsepower and noisy neighbors is the reference for loading speeds. More than likely, the noisy neighbors is our issue since I
                        do recall that being an issue in the past. And I figure their stance is oh well you are only paying $8.95 a month you just have to deal with it.

                        Came across this site while looking into hosting providers:

                        https://www.hostingkingdom.com/bluehost-review
                        https://www.hostingkingdom.com/dreamhost-review

                        https://www.hostingkingdom.com/bluehost-vs-dreamhost

                        Seems they are all pretty much the same except bluehost offers automatic weekly backups

                          There is a big step between shared server and dedicated server, you pay at least 10 times more. There is also a VPS.

                          Most of the Shared hosting has Slow Content Delivery as negative point.

                            Yeah it's hard to judge anything by these review sites though you go to one they rave about certain hosts go to another review site and they have completely different reviews all either plus
                            or minus. Would be nice to find an actual non-partial web hosting review site.

                            Do you know if Dreamhost does CPU throttling?

                                It's the best results, isn't it?
                                Or we have problems?
