Posted: 12 December 2008 at 8:44am |

As you can see from this forum and the forums listed on our demo pages Web Wiz Forums is not slow, this suggests some type of issue with your setup.
You mention you use SQL Server 2000/2005, which one do you use? As SQL Server 2000 and SQL Server 2005 are very different and there is a version of Web Wiz Forums avaiable for each with the SQL Server 2005 version being the faster for large forums.
Could you also say if your SQL Server database server is on the same network as your web server?
What is the page process time listed at the bottom of the page?

the generated time is normal actually, near zero. however, the weird thing is when the page is loading, IE will say its done, but the page is still not complete. does it has something to do with the browser? but it does the same thing in firefox too. no idea here.
is there anyone here dealing with this sympton "header shows, browser said 'Done', wait 15-30 seconds, then all page appear" here? sorry for my bad english.

As the page generation time is low it sounds like an issue with loading images and lag times.
If you ping your website from the command prompt is the is the response time high?
Is the pages loading slowly contain allot of images?
If the answer is yes to both these questions it sounds like that your browser is not caching images and the slow loading times is due to having to load in each and every image.
This is a setting on the web server for image caching and should be changed to make your forum load faster and also reduce the amount of bandwidth your site uses.

(sorry for hijacking this topic, but I think this may be interesting to read here too)
The forum is very slow when posting a message.
The page creation time is short, often less than 0.1 sec.
Adding the message into the database looks fast, but somehow it takes some time for the response data so the browser can process the page.
What can be the problem?
Can a different style be the problem? (when javascript wants to preload something that doesn't exist)
Details of the single server running both IIS and the database:
Windows Server 2003
SQL Server 2005
AMD Opteron 2212
4 GB RAM
WebWiz 9.53

Onno, the issue you have may not be related at all to quertyass topic here.
Your issue Onno certainly sounds like an issue with the forum sending email notifications. This can happen if you use a slow network, SMTP server, or an SMTP server hosted on another network across the Internet. This is due to lag times connecting to the SMTP server or the SMTP server slow to respond. You need to look at the SMTP server you are using to find away to improve the speed of the SMTP servers connection or the SMTP server itself.

Thank you Bruce, that was the problem!
SMTP is on the same machine so the forum had to be configured.
