Netham, I am afraid that OmnomIRC is effectively the source of the slowness. When the entire site domain runs slow like this, but script execution time is not very high and 51.aspirationhosting is up, then it's because our account is throttled for too many resources usage.

One concern I have is that this month we had 6.5 million of hits. Before we had about 3.5 and the highest we had was 5 millions I think. I can only think of the two following scenarios:

-Either the recent OmnomIRC updates introduced bugs causing an overload of resources or the new OmnomIRC is simply too demanding on the server.
-Either we get too much traffic to sustain OmnomIRC anymore on a shared hosting.

In the latter case, this would either mean that you have to host the entire OmnomIRC elsewhere or we say farewell to it.

That said, something needs to be done, because this is starting to affect our activity a whole lot.

JSONP would probably help with this probably

JSONP wouldn't be any good, it's incompatible with AJAX.

Yup, I got everything I need.

I'm going to make a subdomain on Omnimaga.org, omnom.omnimaga.org. I can then set the document.domain to omnimaga.org for OmnomIRC stuffs, then I can get around the same-origin policy and remove the bounces(logbounce.php, userbounce.php, messagebounce.php), which are the main 3 that are generating traffic.


Edit: JSONP is just a way of moving data.

it's also incompatible with AJAX, has a considerably higher client-side load requirement, and constantly refreshes the pages.

So all the files would be hosted on your IP, but the domain name would be used?

Ah ok

I definitively think the php files in question received too many requests and it caused overload on the server. I hope it doesn't cause problems on yours, though.

It won't be putting much, if any, extra strain on my server.

are iOmnom/iOmnom_mini getting moved over as well?
