Site slow downs
By mdkberry
I was using Elgg 1.7.8 on Crazy Domains hosting in australia and started experiencing inexplicable slow downs of the site then it would work ok again for a while. it was intermittent.
I rebuilt the site in Elgg 1.7.9 only using plugins that worked on the old site, no test plugins. and also changed ISP provider. I have just noticed it start to do the same thing the last few days. it only has a few members and none of them are on, but it is slowing down randomly to a crawl and I cant figure out why.
anyone got any advice on how to monitor processes or elgg performance. to track issues of this nature. I dont think it is the ISP . Hearing about any other peoples experience of this kind would be appreciated.

503 ? Server is overloaded..
site slowdowns ? cheap hosting..
Real production elgg will not perform well on cheap hosting -
you'll need at least VPS.
mdkberry, problem with webservice is not related to your speed problems. It's an auxiliary webservice used in vazco_gmap, plugin works without it. We'll remove it from error logs in next version.
Do you have cron jobs running, which are trying to optimise the Database or which try to "logrotate" Elggs System Log Tables?
Kind Regards
Maik
@Maik, logrotate is set to once a month and crontrigger is enabled but I havent set any jobs specifically, garbage collector is on too set to once per month.
