RSS feed running sooo SLOW

hi everyone,

i've been using magpierss to display rss feeds on my websites for a while now, and just recently we switched servers and everything has been runnins SUPER SUPER slow.. like 10-15 seconds sometimes to get it to load.

i was wondering if anyone had any idea why.... i even used rss2html today and that runs slow too.

here are some example sites.

http://resource4zyprexainfo.com/rsstest.php

our php version of 4.3.2 ...

any help, ideas or tips would be appreciated.... thanks

 

I saw some slow feeds on my ColdFusion pages. ColdFusion has a tag for setting your page to be cached for a timeframe of your chosing. I set the cache time for 24 hours and created a script to hit all of my pages so the RSS feeds are less than 24 hours old.

I assume PHP has caching abilities. Alternatively, you could use PHP to write pages to static files periodically and serve only static pages.

 

Your host is behind the times with php version of 4.3.2.

Should be .11. Maybe ya just got a bad server? Overloaded?

My first impression of your host is not good. :/

 

I've recently been using RSS Digest with some success. See our homepage.

 

Is the cache enabled?
You can check the cache directory after bringing up the page and see if there are files in there. If not, your cache is not working. check cache directory permission.
