Forum:Random site slowness

At least at WikiDex we're experiencing site slowness since the last two days. Some pages are loading normally, but others took several minutes to load. And it seems completely random. Sometimes is recentchanges, sometimes a category page, sometimes previewing the edit changes, sometimes on save. It's not my internet connection, because viewing the site from work has also random slowness.

The browser says "Loading..." but no content is displayed. It could take several minutes to load, specially large pages (you could try one from c:es.pokemon:Categoría:Lista de Pokémon). It seems like the aticles with more internal links needs more time to load. For example, c:es.pokemon:Eevee tooks more time to load than c:es.pokemon:Ditto, because the first one has more internal links, but both takes extremely more time to load than c:es.pokemon:Cómo entrenar bien a tus Pokémon that has no links but has more content. It happens while logged in and logged out, with IE and Firefox.

Is it happening in other wikis? Please help! --Ciencia Al Poder (talk) -WikiDex 17:27, 21 December 2007 (UTC)


 * Oh, wait. The problems are not the internal links. The problems are the images. We use images as a representation of the type of each attack. The same page without those images is more fast to load (but still takes more to load than normally) --Ciencia Al Poder (talk) -WikiDex 18:03, 21 December 2007 (UTC)


 * Hmm, c:perfectworld:Monster_List has the same problem. It tooks several minutes to load because it has images for elements. Other pages without images are fast to load. It's a huge problem on our wiki because there are many articles with that system of images. I don't know if it's related to the upgrade, but if it's possible to get back the previous MediaWiki version in this wiki it would be great, because we couldn't edit until it gets fixed! --Ciencia Al Poder (talk) -WikiDex 18:13, 21 December 2007 (UTC)

Same with Zelda Wiki; it was really slow the past two days. I think it's due to the MW1.12 upgrade.--Richard 18:24, 21 December 2007 (UTC)
