Thanks a ton for this data. This is excellent, and leads us in the following direction:
It looks as though you are experiencing a database interruption of service. One of your users commented:
"Once I enter my user name and password, I click the login button and it logs me in OK but it always says there's been an error trying to get to my unread posts. It never did that before." That is a direct query against the database. The other problems such as site being slow, or not responsive at all, can also be attributed to the database...
I set up a simple performance tester for your web site where I just looped over iterations of the home page and I could not reproduce and significant load, nor create any meaningful errors, simulating a 20 user concurrent load.
Couple with this the fact that globally (using website "InternetSupervision.com") I am seeing an average page load time of < 2sec for the main page.
With this, I believe that you are seeing an intermittent effect of the combined use of a shared server. I have made some notes to pass on to the server management team on your behalf, and asked them to look into this. I am seeing some slowness when I open images for the first time, but I cannot capture any meaningful CPU use nor database traffic, it appears to be simply data transfer.
Hello,
I have optimized the database tables for you at this time. This should relive some of the time that it take to query the databases. If the error continues you may need to move to a vps or higher server as we cannot remove the mysql kill script from the server. As this would cause high load on the server and cause mysql to fail. Causing data corruption on all accounts.
