[site news] Problems with Wordpress and slow queries |
Please excuse the site loading problems late yesterday and overnight. We are running down the issues and resolving them. In particular there is one pesky Wordpress table join that seems to be causing problems when this site does any kind of traffic. I’m going to try and track down the most recent version of Wordpress from the nightly builds and see if that helps. Also, I wrote a bit of caching code so that the home page of the blog (the most expensive page, actually, as far as database querying goes) is no longer being dynamically generated.
We switched from Pivot to Wordpress a couple weeks ago because Pivot was having problems loading blank pages when people tried to click through from RSS readers and now we seem to have traded those problems with a database/dynamic site issue. Isn’t blogging is supposed to be fun? LOL
Regular programming should be returning as soon as we get over this bump in the road. Thank you for reading.
Did this post make you go hmm?
