I have a dedicated server and pay a ridiculous amount at Lunar Pages. Still, my site (DeathRattleSports.com) is painfully slow. I've gotten rid of pretty much all excessive bots and have been told it could be because of news portal.

I love news portal but at this rate can't really afford to pay any more and really, should not need to. Anyone else have these issues and/or have advise?

Thanks.

Hi,
Why did you think that this is a News Portal problem?
I just checked your site using these URLs with the same results:
http://deathrattlesports.com 30secs aprox. (with iJoomla News Portal)
http://deathrattlesports.com/component/option,com_joomap/Itemid,79/ 30secs aprox. (without iJoomla News Portal)
I think that you have a conection issue. Please check this issue here.
Best regards,

Could someone explain what "connection issues" means exactly?

I was told from going on Joomla forums that mambots and ijoomla may be the issue. 30 second load time is not acceptable when I pay nearly $200 monthly and my site is not even workable. It sucks and all my time is consumed trying to fix something that won't fix and tearing apart the site in the process.

Do I have too many sections/categories (over 100)? Would stripping it down help? I can't afford to keep the site up and what I'm paying makes no difference in speed or uptime (crashes weekly). I feel like I'm getting ripped off by Lunar Pages and I'm just looking for a solution so I can have a site to be proud of.

Interesting. How I see it, this makes my current structure unaffordable. Using ijoomla looks great but the resource usage is too expensive for my budget. It sucks because I've spent so much time with SEO and what not but if I have to go back to the older crappier look I will. Like mentioned, there are module alternatives that I don't prefer but 30 second load times are worse than things not "looking" great. Undecided

I think that you have an issue with your server´s settings.
You can see iJoomla News Portal working on Alledia.com, eJoomla.net and other site without any problems.
Anyway if you continue having this problems you can submit a support ticket and we will take a look to your site.
Best regards,

Yeah but they probably have 1 section for every 30 sections I have. That's the difference. My hosting company is lunar pages, per this sites recommendation. I don't know about "server settings" but I'm calling it a conspiracy! Grin

No big deal, maybe I'll just keep ijoomla for my homepage for now but nothing else...I just need help with the transition and yes, a ticket was submitted. You guys have always been helpful.
