Wouldn't make a huge difference though.

You might want to consider getting rid of smilies as your sig, that's a lot of extra bandwidth.

BTW I set my viewed posts at 10, it's not too bad.

REDREAD · 04-20-2005, 12:41 PM

Question though.. if you are going to read the entire thread anyhow, does the posts viewed really matter?

If you load two pages at 10 posts each, that might actually use slightly more bandwidth than viewing one page of 20 posts, as there's some overhead communication to load each page.

I think you're correct.

Plus each page loaded leads to another load of the page header and footer.

I just checked the usage logs for yesterday. There was considerably less traffic but I think most of it can be attributed to 17,000 less "hits" to the site than the day before. The average KB per hit was also down slightly. Since many of the changes were enacted yesterday during the day, I think today will be the first full set of data that we can analyze. FWIW, things are pretty slow so far today. I'll continue to monitor.

westofyou · 04-20-2005, 01:58 PM

There is an afternoon game tomorrow, that will give a good idea of what heavy daytime traffic will be like.

ochre · 04-20-2005, 02:05 PM

average daily for april is ~1639966KB not counting today.

Could we mirror the site in text format and run a day to day comparison?

I wouldn't make it something that needs to be done yesterday, but a mirror could tell us alot.

Would have to copy the database and redo the vBulletin config I think.

Would want to run that from a different server too I'd think.
