New cache system even worse.

Permalink
On the old cache system I just turned it all off and my site worked fine. With the new update my site is now being throttled whether the cache is on or off.

Any fixes on the way? Any suggestions?

Where are you hosting? Everyone we've been hearing from so far says the new approach is much faster

Yes, definitely! 5.6.1.2 is much faster than 5.5.x on all of our sites.

Can you share a bit more information with us?

Okay,
I have 3 sites I updated all with the same results, all on separate hosting accounts.
2 of the accounts are pro-accounts with Blue Host and one is the el cheapo account. The caching seemed to speed up the sites at first but somehow began using more CPU so the server started to throttle the accounts which then slowed them down.
I have tried it with cache on, off etc. and still I get throttled with the new upgrade. Any suggestion on settings?
The cheap account is throttled constantly and the pros not as much because they have a higher allotment of CPU usage.

EL cheapo site is AppleBlossomAcademy.com
The other 2 sites are ofoa.net and ResearchUtahHomes.com

Maybe it is time for a new host?

Well, the new cache system caches less. This means that you'll have more MySQL calls but less hard drive I/O's. As mentioned by lots of users, this combination should be faster, you're the first to tell otherwise as far as I know.

However, more MySQL calls and less I/O's could mean more CPU usage which might cause the throttling. If that's the case that's pretty silly. An application with a lot of I/O would slow down the server much more.

However #2, if you've been using APC things might have been different since that would reduce the hard drive I/O's and would avoid throttling.

Not sure what to tell you at the end. I don't work with hosts that throttle my sites but I also spend a few bucks on that. Maybe someone else has a better theory.. If not, there's probably not much to do beside changing the host

Bluehost shouldn't have an issue here. I wonder if there's something horribly inefficient about these sites... Huge autonavs or inline php?

doesn't the SQL get offloaded to another server? Which in theory means you could hide a lot of load on another server. . . That is in addition to SQL being more efficient.

I have no idea how your sites performed before the update, but you have some issues with add-ons and some issues outside of C5's jurisdiction.

Use Chrome or Firefox, then use 'pagespeed' to see where YOU can help those sites.

Also givehttp://www.webpagetest.org/ a go, it will help pinpoint errors.

Try usinghttp://www.w3.org/ as well, which is good for coding errors, which the aforementioned sites have a lot of.

Good luck
