sorry if this is the wrong section for this...

I've made site and my client keeps calling and saying that it takes very long for him to load. The site runs very smoothly here but obviously something is making it slowish.

Link: http://gastronomi.no/

This site is using CMS Made Simple 1.6.9 "Pouebo" and nothing fancy except Blog module and Showtime.

I'm hoping some of you can check it and see if you have slow loading as well.


Thanks :)

The current CMS MS version is 1.10.3 and it is the only officially supported version at the moment. Your 3rd party modules are completely 1.10.x compatible, so there is no good reason not to upgrade.

This newest version has improved caching mechanisms, so your issue WILL disappear after upgrading - assuming that other factors (like client's Internet connection speed, hosting package features, etc) are also OK.

problem is this server doesn't have PHP 5 and wont have it for a long time which means I have to use this version and not the latest.

Besides...I've made atleast 20-30 different sites on this server using CMSMS from 1.4 - 1.6 and none of them seems to be laggish. So I'm guessing it must be something with this site. I could move it to a newer server and upgrade. Just I'm thinking problem is somewhere else..

I'm not even sure there is a problem with it or if it's just my clients system.

Did it load slow for you?

I visited the site and it was pretty fast while loading.
Now remember, there are very many factors that may influence a site speed, and the majority of them are not CMSMS related. A shared server not well configured, the amount of visitors at a given time, server load, how many sites are hosted on the same server etc, etc...
But a site with, lets say, less then a 100 visitors per day shouldn't be slow at all.

Turn on debug mode and see what operation is causing the slowness.

It seems perfectly fast to me, viewing in the UK, Firefox 9 on PC.

It loaded pretty quickly for me, but there are certainly some areas for improvement. Firstly, you *really* need to consider upgrading to a better host so you can upgrade cmsms. The new caching functions are fantastic.
Also:
-You have 10 css files. Combine these into one. (this happens automatically in 1.10.x)
-Ask your host to turn on gzip compression, and use it
-Install YSlow or PageSpeed into your browser, and perform some of the suggestions they provide.

ok thanks for your help. I will get a new server at our hosting and try to make a copy of the site and upgrade it. See if that helps :-)
